The Taming of the Shrew / Elizabeth Taylor as Katharina Minola

I've been waiting a while for a chance to post this dress! I've always liked the combination of blue, green and white. The bows on the skirt add a festive touch. Once again, Irene Sharaff's designs for Elizabeth Taylor harmonize well with the rest of the costumes, designed by Danilo Donati.

Wedding dress made in 1910s style. Silk satin and thin like a spider web georgette, antique lace era and silk lining.

Isolde Wedding Dress

Thranto wedding designs !!!

In a lot of western military weddings, men often wear their dress uniforms and so that’s what I decided to put them in as a base. The dress uniform is a little fancier than a normal CDF uniform, featuring a sash, more embellished belt, gold epaulets - yes I spelled it wrong on the sheet lol - to display honor chains, and other gold details such as on the boots and gloves (not shown).

Thrawn being a member of one of the Ruling Families wears a burgundy robe over his uniform - burgundy being the Mitth family color - and a long, thick, embroidered cloak/cape custom to him (I like to think he designed it in his twenties, never thinking he’d ever wear it 🥺) The two also wear a gold Mitth family belt buckle.

I wanted Eli to have some Lysatran traditions and decided to go with the exchange of grass/grain wreaths that are made of local plants from their homeworlds. Eli then exchanges his Lysatran wreath with Thrawn’s wreath made out of plants from Rentor, with a vow along the lines of “my home will always be your home”.

To signify Eli’s transition into House Mitth, Thrawn will drape Eli in his cloak/cape - I did steal this from Game of Thrones, see Sansa and Tyrion’s wedding - that is uniquely his. I decided to go with the double snake design that (I think?) comes from the ring Thrawn receives in Chaos Rising.

Hope ya’ll like it :)

High Society / Grace Kelly as Tracy Lord

Designed by Helen Rose, this is one of the iconic screen wedding dresses! It is made of silk organza and is "tea length" or "ballet length"--super popular in the 1950s. The sheer outer layer is covered with embroidered flowers and features billowing sleeves gathered just below the elbow, a pale pink ribbon belt, and a floral corsage at the waist. She doesn't wear a veil, but there's some suggestion of one in the drapery on the hat.

For comparison, the version from The Philadelphia Story is here. But I think I prefer this one--it's truly classic!

Trivia: Helen Rose also designed Grace Kelly's gown for her real-life wedding to Prince Rainier of Monaco.

thrice wed, twice widowed. i loved how severe her wedding dress with joffrey was but how glowing her wedding dress with tommen was

in a drama that pays SO much attention to and is deliberate about giving each character a very distinct silhouette, it has been driving me absolutely fucking insane for several weeks now that some of jiao liqiao's outfits are cut like li xiangyi and li lianhua's robes.

you can see the visual similarities between jiao liqiao's most-worn outfit and li xiangyi in the general form of the robes, but particularly in the drape of the sleeves and where they fall open at the shoulders (sorry, i don't know the technical term). it's harder to see here but both outfits also have bracers that match the robes in a very integrated way and colour-wise, with the same fitting to the sleeves.

here, if not for the colours and material of jiao liqiao's outer layer, this would be something li lianhua would wear. the fit of these robes are the same. the pleats at the lapels even match. jiao liqiao is visually paralleled with li xiangyi and li lianhua, mirroring the man she's forever seen as competition for di feisheng. it's as though in truly every way, she's trying to replace him. maybe if she tries hard enough, di feisheng will finally look at her for once.

i mean hell, think about how even more interesting this scene gets— jiao liqiao's "i'm the victor in this game of love" moment— once you realize she's taunting li lianhua about having a place beside di feisheng while emulating the image of li xiangyi, the man di feisheng cannot leave behind. ("maybe you could still have had him now if you'd stayed like this. if you hadn't become what you are now. it's too bad i stepped in all those years ago, and so you're in this state, isn't it? i've won, li xiangyi.") mysterious lotus casebook already did a stellar job in everything else in establishing jiao liqiao and li lianhua as rivals for di feisheng, but this visual aspect just elevates some of these character interactions throughout the show.

FAVE CHRISTINE COSTUME 2023: The wedding dress

Kwon Ga Min, South Korea: I adore the lace used in the new South korean dresses, and the touch of silver in the bodices.

Kanisha Marie Feliciano, Broadway: Look at the clean lines, sculpted basque and the silvery lace. Shaaaaarp.

Son Ji Soo, South Korea: Another lovely South Korean dress, this photo showing the silvery bodice decorations better. I muuch prefer the silver to the "jellyfish" like gold often seen in newer UK dresses.

Yang Chengziuyi, China: As the South Korean dresses in large a UK style, but this one with different lace, and more golden decorations in the front bodice. The bodice also appears to be more hourglass shaped, and with larger lace fans over the bust to further emphasis the hourglass shape.
