​The mermaid silhouette is a great style for flaunting feminine curves; tightly hugging the contours of the body from bodice to knee (or slightly below the knee), where the skirt begins to dramatically flare away from the body, down to the hem. Trust me, even an novice sewer can whip up this dress.  What better look for a modern day Queen of Hearts?

Check out this red hot number, a little sumthing sumthing I threw together for my daughter Charlotte's book cover, Diary of a Single Girl Vol I. The Queen of Hearts is beauty, magnetism, affection and idealism. The women Queen of Hearts represent the much-loved mother, the sweetheart, the indispensable sister, the adored daughter. The men are sensitive, creative, sympathetic and understanding. If we did not have that inevitable negative side to deal with, this would be the most desirable card in the Little Book!

The Queen of Heart natives are talented in some artistic line, even if it's just in their appreciation of beauty or art. They are often intense and dramatic, and can be very domineering in the family. They are also capable of deep devotion and loyalty. There is a strong streak of religion in all Queen of Hearts and they are often influenced by strong minded women, religious or spiritually inclined. Even when we should, we don't like to find fault with the Queen of Heart; they are too loving and desirable!
