Elizabeth Allen (1883–1967), also known as “Queen,” was a British artist and tailor. Her fabric pieces, which explore religious and mystical themes, won considerable acclaim in the 1960s. Elizabeth Allen created a complex autobiography in fabric that recounted her life in pictures. Her works are now quite rare.
