#I think I might draw Malora again because I'd love to add some more personal touches to her design

Malora and Alerie Hightower

The hightower sisters, thanks to @highgardenart 's suggestion, I designed the 2 elder daughters of Leyton Hightower and loved the planning and gathering of references for the fashion of the Reach

I'll write more on my headcanons for the Reach fashion below if anyone is interested in that!

Also, closeups of Alerie's dress!

My inspo was mainly late 15th/early 16th italian fashion, with some big sleeves and lots of nice patterns, embroidery, motifs, and fabric (which I think would be very popular around the Reach). Lots of slashed sleeves because fabric is costly!

Jewels are a must but not the main show (unlike those flashy Lannisters), and the hair is what I can describe as "pretend you woke up and did this in 30 minutes" like showMarg, where she has pretty hairstyles but they feel more "natural" and less elaborate than Cersei's updos, but they're just as complicated, (it's all part of the persona) with the presence of decorative veils (which could be callback to fully veiled women back in ancient Andal fashion back in essos, but that's just headcanon) I feel that this is more in line with the "romantic" notion and tradition of the Reach!

And it's all supposed to be very romantic and very fitting to the courtly love aesthetic (they're doing the Victorian old trick of romanticizing ancient eras just for romance sake)

Alerie is dressed more within accord to Highgarden/Central Reach fashion, where I'd guess where she'd be wearing a kirtle and above it, that'd be the "overdress"/giornea inspired garment, filled with rose patterns and just a few towers to honor both houses (but more house Tyrell, since she's the lady of the family), the sleeves are very slashed and in my headcanon it would more similar to other dresses around the continent, while Malora is dressed in a typical fit around Oldtown, which is not necessarily THAT different but it still (hopefully) has its differences, like much fuller sleeves and lower neckline, showing more of the chemise, and fuller, pleaded skirt, (characteristics that I also have a headcanon for, they're originally from Braavosian dresses and then adopted by other port cities)

I also included some personal touch for both women, Alerie's hair rings as mentioned by cannon, and for Malora, I included a chain meant to mimick/pay homage to Maesters and a overdress/ropa because it'd be chilly at the top of the Hightower

So anyways, if you made it here, congrats, hope you like it! And that's it!
