Costume Meta 7x02

We are short on the costumes to look at this week as we continue this multi episode arc, so this meta is going to be a pretty short one! I’ve had a pretty busy weekend, so things have worked out for me and its also the reason why I'm only posting this on a Tuesday evening!!!!

There are a few things to point out before I get to the main costumes - we have more bright pink in play here - on the Mom in the car that got hit by the drunk driver. I still have no idea what its trying to tell us a this point, but I have my eyes peeled for more bright pink to appear in the next couple of episodes and see if I can unravel its use.

On the non costume front, on the ship - its a yellow cable that leads to the bomb that ensures communication cannot be restored to the ship when nit explodes - the fact the communications engineer also dies, just re-emphaises the point. Communication is a key theme in this episode.

Back to costumes an in the same vein as the cable, we see Captain O’s deputy in his yellow rain coat when she gives the abandon ship order, and the yellow wire is prominent on the radio when she tells him to do so. He is now the one responsible for communicating her order to the rest of the ship and getting everyone onto the life boats. This is good and effective communication and we see the results of it as we are shown the ship being evacuated. 

Hen and Karen are the only ones we get in a new costume this week.

Lets start with Karen - its an interesting choice - we have her in this navy blue shirt and trousers combo with a brown belt. the top has blue and green Richelieu (cutwork) design on the sleeves and the trousers are also decorated with Richelieu. There are two things at play with this costume choice - the almost entirely navy outfit places her in the same category as Chim, Buck and Eddie. this is very very intentional - Karen mirroring/paralleling them places her in the same position they hold - Karen is meant to be there to show that Hens thought process is flawed and as an outsider to proceedings thats really important for the audience - we need to see that Hen isn't this flawless captain that we've been shown up to this point. The other thing it's designed to do is maintain Hen as separate from everyone else. This visual device helps the script re-enforce things so that when she is then spurred into trying to get hold of Bobby and Athena we are focused on her because of her 'otherness' visually she stands out and we obviously need her to to help drive the narrative forward.

The other thing with Karens costume is the green and blue Richelieu which creates this visual representation of storm clouds swirling and moving in - a subtle reference, not only to Hen's currently cloudy viewpoint on things, but also to the impending storm brewing out in the ocean around the cruise ship. I really love it when they can drop subtle hints like this in set and costuming!

THen we have Hen!

Putting her into her white tee, jeans, green sneakers and this printed silk jacket, and not showing her changing out of her uniform into said outfit while the rest of the firearm are still in uniform helps to separate her from the ‘three Judases’ its a really loud and obvious visual way of separating her from the not only the three boys, but also from the firehouse as a whole. The way the scene is set up helps with this as well -she is on the same side of the bench and room as Chim, Buck and Eddie, until they question her version of events (Eddie is the one to actually ask the question and he is the one dressed differently to Chim and Buck - this isn't about putting him in opposition to them, more just visually signalling that he's the one to ask the important question that we as viewers should be ready for) and then she moves away from them and becomes visually in opposition to them. Its the perfect example of costume, set and direction working in perfect harmony to tell the story visually - we don't actually need to hear whats been said, we can tell it all from the way its shown to us visually.

Hens jacket is a fascinating choice - it plays into a couple of themes we’ve seen in action over the two episodes we’ve had thus far. I did write a little bit about it when we got the first stills of it (which I now cannot find - stupid tumblr search!) but essentially it is a jacket that has various places around California - the golden gate bridge, the redwood trees in Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, etc. as well as the victorian style rose pattern running along the cuffs and edges of the jacket.

The pink roses are a really lovely touch - and one I picked up on specifically because Hen is not a flowery kind of person, so seeing them on her means they are important. Pink roses are generally considered to signify a strong friendship or family bond - something that is ultimately at the heart of matters - the fire family are just that - a family and they might have argument's etc, but they still love each other as a family and will go all out to be there for each other. Its a low key piece of

then we have all that water - do we even need to talk about its meaning?!! Its a literal visual play on the entire them of this arc - water! We all know that water is a really key theme that 911 uses a lot in its storytelling, whether thats big water based events such at the Tsunami or this cruise ship disaster, or smaller low key water theming such as the rain being present at so many of the disasters we see. I'm interested that we now have it appearing on Hen - because it hasn't really been connected to her in many of her personal story arcs (by this I mean arcs such as her deciding and training to be a doctor, Henren's journey through parenthood, the ambulance crash or even Karens lab blowing up last season) so its interesting that we're now seeing her pulled into the water theming in a visual way like this. It is also a play on the two aspects of this episode - there is the loud water theming of the Cruise ship, but there is also the fact Hen has landed in hot water/ deep water.

Hen is also wearing her 'H' necklace, not her 'K' one. This is important because her necklaces tend to be a visual indicator of what her arc is about - the 'H' is worn when it's about her specifically and not her marriage/ family, which is when we tend to see the 'K' heart pendant being worn.

Thats all from me this week! Thank you as always for reading and I hope you enjoyed the shortness of this post - I doubt many of the others will be this short 😂

one special part of my wedding was that my dad's temple where we got married had just had a new chuppah made. You can use anything for a chuppah-- it can be a special wooden frame or basic wooden poles or pvc pipe or whatever, to hold up the cloth roof. The temple had a gorgeous permanent one carved by an artist and we were the first couple who got to be married under it! Most people use a tallis as the fabric on the top, but Adam's grandma had died a few months earlier so we used a cutwork tablecloth that she had made by hand for ours. It was very very special and I like to think of all the other couples who have been married under it in the years since! you can see some of the beautiful carved wood in this photo:

2 and 8 for the ask thing? 👀

2. What was your first piece?

My first lolita specific main piece that I bought was a sax gingham bunny pockets set from bodyline. It's still in my closet for nostalgia. My first brand items were two AP skirts I got on egl com sales. AP's strawberry picking in pink, and a red gingham AP skirt.

8. What are some details you wish to see more of?

Hmm, are pockets a detail? Because I've been buying meta and AP has me spoiled when it comes to pockets. But I also really like decorative pockets. Those little felt embroidery patches AP puts on dresses that are detachable are also top notch. I wear my fruits parlor ones with everything. I also am really into the way pinkhouse does cutwork and pintucks and embroidery at the hems of so many things and I want to see more of that in classic lolita. Also embroidery and appliqué being used with print series ♡

Blouse Design Trends for Party Wear Sarees in 2024

The blouse has become much more than a simple companion to the saree; it’s now a key piece in defining a woman’s style statement. As we step into 2024, blouse designs for party wear sarees are getting bolder, more creative, and infinitely versatile. From daring cuts to delicate embellishments, this year's trends are all about merging traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. Let's take a look at the top blouse design trends that are set to dominate party wear sarees in 2024.

1. Dramatic Sleeves

Sleeves are having a major moment this year. From exaggerated puff sleeves to layered bell sleeves and even cape-style designs, the focus is on creating drama and volume. These statement sleeves add an element of surprise and make your blouse the star of your ensemble. Whether you choose a blouse with oversized sleeves for a vintage-inspired look or opt for ruffled layers that cascade down your arms, this trend is perfect for creating a memorable impact at any party. Pair these with a saree that has a simple drape to keep the look balanced.

2. Backless Blouses with Unique Straps

Backless blouses continue to be a popular choice for their sensual appeal, but in 2024, they’re getting a twist with unique straps. Think blouses with crisscross strings, delicate pearl chains, or even embellished tassels that dangle gracefully along your back. These creative details make the back of your blouse as captivating as the front. This style works beautifully for evening events or weddings where you want to turn heads. Choose a saree with a minimalistic pallu to keep the focus on the back design.

3. Metallic Blouses

Metallic fabrics are making a big splash this year, adding a futuristic touch to traditional wear. Blouses in gold, silver, bronze, or even rose gold hues are perfect for adding a dose of glamor to your saree. Look for fabrics like satin, silk, or brocade with a metallic finish. Pair these blouses with solid-colored sarees to let the metallic shine through. This trend is ideal for night parties, cocktail events, or festive gatherings where you want to stand out under the lights.

4. Corset Blouses

Corset blouses are back in vogue, bringing a structured, form-fitting style to sarees. These blouses typically feature lace-up details, boning, and hooks that accentuate the waist, creating an hourglass figure. This trend is perfect for those who want to highlight their curves while adding a vintage yet contemporary feel to their saree. Pair a corset blouse with a flowing saree like chiffon or georgette to balance the structure with fluidity. It's a great choice for evening parties or more formal events where you want to make a bold statement.

5. Sheer Blouses with Floral Appliqué

Sheer blouses add an ethereal touch to your saree look, and this year, they’re getting a romantic update with floral appliqué work. Think of delicate lace, organza, or tulle blouses adorned with 3D flowers, leaves, or vine patterns that seem to float on your skin. This trend is perfect for a feminine, soft look that is ideal for daytime events or garden parties. Pair these sheer blouses with pastel or neutral-colored sarees to keep the look airy and light.

6. Blouses with Cutwork Details

Cutwork blouses are making a comeback, and they’re more intricate and detailed than ever before. Cutwork involves creating patterns by cutting out sections of fabric and then finishing the edges with embroidery. This is always Trendy blouse ideas for party wear sarees. This year, expect to see geometric shapes, florals, and even abstract designs that add a unique texture and depth to the blouse. These blouses work well with both plain and printed sarees and are ideal for occasions where you want to blend traditional craftsmanship with modern style.

7. Off-Shoulder Blouses with Embellishments

Off-shoulder blouses continue to be a favorite for their chic and contemporary appeal. In 2024, they’re being reimagined with heavy embellishments like sequins, beads, or zardozi work that add a touch of glamor. This style highlights the collarbones and shoulders, making it perfect for those who want to show off a bit of skin in a tasteful manner. Pair an off-shoulder blouse with a saree in a complementing shade to create a cohesive look that’s ideal for both day and night events.

8. Blouses with Dramatic Necklines

This year is all about experimentation, and that extends to necklines as well. Expect to see a variety of dramatic necklines like deep V-necks, square necks, and even high collars with intricate details like embroidery, beads, or sequins. These unique necklines can instantly elevate a simple saree, adding a fashion-forward edge to your look. A blouse with a statement neckline pairs beautifully with a saree that has a minimal border or subtle design, allowing the blouse to remain the focal point.

9. Blouses with Tassel and Fringe Detailing

Tassels and fringes are back in a big way for 2024. Blouses adorned with these playful details add movement and texture, creating a dynamic look that's perfect for dance parties or festive celebrations. You can find blouses with tassels along the hemline, sleeves, or even the neckline, adding a whimsical and fun element to your outfit. Pair a tassel or fringe-detailed blouse with a plain saree to keep the look chic and stylish.

10. Mirror Work Blouses

Mirror work has always been a popular choice for festive wear, and in 2024, it’s getting even more attention. Blouses with mirror work are perfect for adding a touch of sparkle and shine to your saree look. Whether you choose a blouse covered in tiny mirrors or one with larger, statement pieces, this trend is sure to catch the light and create a dazzling effect. Mirror work blouses pair best with sarees in rich fabrics like silk or georgette and are ideal for weddings, Diwali parties, or any celebration where you want to shine.

Styling Tips for 2024 Blouse Trends

Mix and Match: Don’t be afraid to mix traditional and modern elements. For example, pair a metallic blouse with a vintage-style saree or a corset blouse with a modern, geometric print saree.

Accessorize Thoughtfully: Let your blouse guide your choice of accessories. If you have a heavily embellished or statement blouse, go for minimal jewelry to keep the focus on the blouse.

Pay Attention to Fit: No matter how trendy the blouse, a perfect fit is key. Make sure your blouse is well-tailored to highlight your shape and avoid any discomfort.

Conclusion

Blouse design trends for party wear sarees in 2024 are all about creativity, experimentation, and making a statement. Whether you’re drawn to dramatic sleeves, metallic fabrics, or romantic florals, there’s a trend for everyone. Choose a style that reflects your personality and complements your saree, and you’re sure to dazzle at every party or event this year!
