About
Queen of Hearts was founded by the designer and maker Paula Tongue in 2004 to an enthusiastic reception from the public and the local press, and has since gone on to establish an enviable reputation for specialist tailoring, bespoke corsets, corseted frocks and bridal wear. Now she aims to take her skills to a wider audience.

Over years of experience as a specialist designer, creating corsets and tailored outfits for ladies and gentlemen of all shapes and sizes, Paula enjoys bringing out the very best in every client's figure. “We are all individuals, in shape and personality. This is reflected in my work, so my clothes are individual too.”

In this avante garde selection, you will find a perfect union of theatre and fantasy. A Queen of Hearts frock has been designed to make you feel different and spectacular whatever the occasion.

With another string to her bow, Paula is also an innovative silversmith, creating jewellery using sterling silver and gemstones. Working with the fluidity of silver and contrasting that with the glassiness of the stones, Paula breathes new life into an ancient craft.

The Queen of Hearts works on a commission only basis, so you will not find a Queen of Hearts frock in any high street stores. Thanks to her ongoing success, you may have to book well ahead; as the diary is often full, although space may be found for jewellery, corsets and other smaller items. Contact Paula for full details.
