Featuring original Sarasvati Designs artwork, this distinctive deck showcases an exquisitely dressed woman in an enormous peach-and-pale-blue ruffled gown, framed by sumptuous blue draperies and crowned with a spectacular towering white coiffure.
Layers of pleated fabric, translucent ruffles, blue ribbons, sculptural sleeves, and an impossibly elaborate hairstyle transform the composition into a theatrical celebration of fashion. Printed on smooth 300gsm premium-coated cardstock, the deck includes 52 standard playing cards plus 2 Joker cards and comes in a clear acrylic box.
The Artwork
The Lady Of The Blue Ribbons features an elegant woman turning gracefully beside richly patterned blue curtains. Her extraordinary gown fills the composition with layer upon layer of peach and pale-blue ruffles, creating a magnificent silhouette inspired by the extravagance of courtly fashion.
The fitted peach bodice is scattered with delicate pale dots and edged with a slender blue center panel. A soft blue ribbon accents the waist, while enormous fan-like pale-blue ruffles frame the neckline and wrists, introducing airy sculptural details against the warmer tones of the gown.
Below, the immense skirt unfolds in tiers of finely pleated peach fabric alternating with luminous pale-blue panels. Tiny patterns, lace-like edges, and subtle variations in texture give each layer its own decorative character while preserving the gown's graceful sweep.
Her towering white coiffure rises dramatically above her head in extraordinary sculptural curls, coils, and feather-like forms. Behind her, deep cobalt and midnight-blue draperies fall in richly patterned folds, while slender blue cords, tassels, and a small blue decorative vessel add elegant finishing details to the intimate theatrical setting.
Reimagined in contemporary illustrative style, the artwork blends Art Deco fashion illustration, Rococo-inspired elegance, towering coiffures, elaborate ruffled gowns, blue ribbons, sumptuous drapery, delicate pattern, and whimsical decorative storytelling.
