Miss TWA contest 2012 ~ Final Challenge

I made it to the final!!!

For this challenge, we had to style a warrior outfit and a gown for the queen of TWA.

The Medieval Queens and Princesses shared the most powerful positions with their husbands and many held extremely important influence over their sons.

The royalties adorned clothing of gold and purple silk wide gown decorated with embroidery at the edges to add a touch of design to the entire ensemble. The gown included a corset that was tied tight to enhance the hourglass shape of women. Queens and princesses wore vibrant-coloured dresses with high collars and had long sleeves and trailing. The neckline of these dresses were often cut in a square to accent the bust of a women and then accentuated with bold necklaces.

A great amount of extravagance could be seen in the fashion when gold, silver and other precious stones were used on the clothing.

The women of the upper social classes wore their hair either in loose curls or braided hair decorated with precious stones, pearls, ribbons and even shimmering veils.

This is what I wore as the Queen of TWA
