Byzantine Imperial Costume
Inspired by the ceremonial clothing and mosaic portraits of the Byzantine Empire, this regal costume features a full-length tunic, richly decorated over-robe, jeweled collar, and draped imperial mantle. Geometric embroidery, metallic borders, faux pearls, and gemstone-style embellishments create a formal silhouette suitable for theatrical productions, historical performances, editorial photography, exhibitions, religious dramas, and costume events.
The costume includes a long under-tunic, embroidered over-robe, imperial mantle, decorated waist belt, detachable jeweled collar, and matching crown.
