A question for my fiber craft folks (not that I don't have enough hobbies... Buuut)
My entire area is currently being infested with fall web worms
Tumblr media
And I noticed they're very preferentially setting up on all the mulberry trees in the area, like silkworms so now I'm wondering if I go tear down a few dozen handfuls of web worm nests can I card and spin the fiber into a thread?
I think with all the tree debris I'm bound to get there's no way I'll be able to unravel long threads like from a cocoon, but I bet I could card most of the debris out. Got any tips tricks methods for me to test carding and hand spinning this stuff with minimum new purchases? How can I a Jerry rig something together for a trial? Got any spinning for beginners resources?
I'd love to make my own silk thread/yarn to do the stitching/embroidery on a silk barong Tagalog I'm attaching pearl and mother of pearl beads to rn inspired by a creation in my novel SAINTS OF STORM AND SORROW
I plan to go out tomorrow and collect some nests, my partner has reported that they are not sticky. Will report back on my findings

Maybe a short Pearlsuma drabble? If that’s okay?
hey anon! since pearl and xisuma have previously expressed some level of discomfort with shipping, i prefer not to write them romantically. i've written a platonic scene instead, and i hope you still enjoy! word count: 645 words pairing(s): pearl & xisuma (platonic) warnings: none general tags & vibes: friendship bracelets, fluff
Spread out on a picnic blanket, Pearl and Xisuma sat across from each other, soaking up the last warm day of autumn. Sunny, clear blue skies painted the illusion of summer’s remnants, and there seemed no better way to spend it than in each others’ company enjoying a much needed rest.
Xisuma clicked his pen idly, twiddling it between his thumb and forefinger as he tapped it against the back of his book. He was alternating between reading and jotting down notes in the margins, occasionally shifting to stretch and readjust. 
Pearl was sprawled on the other side of the blanket, knotting embroidery floss into a friendship bracelet. The small project was secured to her jeans with a safety pin, using her clothing as an anchor point to keep it steady as she continued to build the bracelet down. She was nearly done by then, working through the short untied ends. 
“Would you rather a bracelet or a bookmark for yours, X?” She asked. 
“Oh, that’s a good question,” Xisuma said as he looked up, “I’m really not sure. Surprise me, I guess.” 
“Surprise you,” Pearl echoed back. “Well, alright.” She smiled as she went back to work, tying off and trimming the remaining threads. She fished through her small box of supplies, eventually finding a small plastic clip. She set about securing closures to either end of the bracelet, clipping and unclipping it a few times to ensure the mechanism worked properly. 
“Here we go,” she finally said. 
Xisuma marked his page, closing his book to set it aside. “What did you decide on?” 
“Both!” Pearl answered brightly. She held up the finished creation, demonstrating how it could be clipped and unclipped. “You can wear it around your wrist like a bracelet, or you can undo it and use it like a flat bookmark. Best of both worlds, right?” 
The corners of Xisuma’s mouth upturned in a smile. “Yeah, that’s perfect actually.” He held his wrist out, and Pearl immediately put it on for him. 
“Look, we’re matching now!” She exclaimed, holding her wrist next to Xisuma’s to show off their matching purple bracelets with a little laugh. 
Xisuma admired his own bracelet for a moment, before he unclipped it. He picked his book back up, wordlessly swapping his old bookmark out for the bracelet Pearl had given him. “I love it, really. Thanks, Pearl.” 
“Of course,” she replied. “What’s next then, want me to bead your shoelaces to match mine?” She teased. Pearl uncrossed her legs, extending them to show off the laces of her sneakers that she’d adorned with a few star-shaped plastic beads scattered throughout the lacing. 
“You think I could pull off the look?” Xisuma asked, glancing skeptically at his practical work boots. 
“Oh for sure,” Pearl replied. “Colors of choice too.” 
“You know, maybe. But I’ll have to make something for you to return the favor first.” 
Pearl swept her bracelet materials back into their carrying case. “Really? Like what?” 
“I don’t know yet,” Xisuma admitted. “But just something. You made something for me, now it’s my turn, right?” 
Pearl smiled. “Well, okay. I’m sure I’ll love whatever it is.” She resituated herself, rolling over to lie on her stomach beside Xisuma.
As Xisuma reopened his book, he resecured the bookmark around his wrist into a bracelet, laying the book open in his lap so Pearl could read along with him. Propping up on her elbows, Pearl did exactly that, reading on as Xisuma continued with his reading and annotations. 
Their afternoon continued on in comfortable silence, Pearl and Xisuma simply happy to coexist in the same space together on a sunny afternoon. When the day would be over, they’d have a matching set of friendship bracelets to take home as a lasting token of a day well spent. And maybe one day, they’d just do it all again.

Julian in Hebitian clothes! World building ramble under the cut
These are Qåmtsu specifically, and the fancier type you might see at celebrations... such as weddings.
While it might look like Julian is wearing a blouse and a kilt here, he's actually wearing a garment that resembles a long Qåmtsu blouse. Catching it up high on the chest with a pin is the masculine way of wearing it: much lower or not pinned at all would be feminine. The wide shawl here marks the garment as expensive and not for everyday occasions. This could be worn with a kilt under it, or, as he's done here, with a wrap over the waist and hips, to keep from flashing others. This is necessary as Hebitian underwear is often just a pair of sprang leg warmers covering the femoral glands. Another version of this garment combines with the Cardassian boned undergarments, and has long tabs. This one is just a trapezoid piece of fabric overlapped and pinned in the back.
Cardassians tend to protect their hair with waxes and oils; while Hebitians historically did this as well, especially the Qåmtsu, it was far more common for them to wear hats, wraps, turbans, etc to protect the hair.
The beads here would commonly either be all pearl, or a combination of pearls, amber, and jevonite (the major three gems used by Hebitians). This is true for the rest of the outfit as well, amber and pearl being precious because they're the two gemstones whose creation is dependent on organic life. Green amber is common on Cardassia in the region Hebitians lived pre-Union due to its formation in swamps, as is regular amber. Hebitians and Cardassians both associate metal with women, so men's jewelry and accessories tend to be made of other material. The ear pendants (Cardassians-as-a-species aren't good for piercing their earlobes, it's painful and messy, so these are on a chain) are made of wood or shell in Julian's case, and have ribbons streaming down. Someone more fem would have these made of metal with straps of metal, similar to the type used in tulle bi telli embroidery, instead. These particular ear pendants are still used in some service class weddings, and the metal strips have become popular for Cardassian brides overall.
Julian's belt here would similarly, be made of wood or shell plaques, or even stone. It has strings of pearls and ribbons hanging down from it, and the ribbons have 3 feathers attached to their ends. Additionally it has a center pennant, depicting a dzyrei tree and two birds- the Dryzei is important to Hebitian culture, and considered sacred, and the two birds would be a prosperous symbol for a good relationship (as well as a common motif overall). Birds and other flying creatures are considered sacred messengers of Oralius.
Julian's shoes are simple slippers with some diamond cutwork and painted plastic detail.
The design on Julian's arm is also something found in some Hebitian weddings, but would normally be a tattoo or more commonly, an ink rubbing scar. Makeup is gender neutral for Hebitians, though certain colors are considered masculine and feminine, it's not uncommon to see someone wearing both.

Elegant and Timeless: Wedding Dress Trends in Queensland
Finding the perfect wedding dress is a journey filled with excitement and anticipation. For brides in Queensland, the options are as diverse as they are beautiful. From classic designs to contemporary styles, Queensland’s bridal boutiques offer an array of wedding dresses that cater to every bride’s dream. Let's explore the elegant and timeless wedding dress trends that are captivating brides in Queensland.
Tumblr media
Embracing Classic Elegance
Lace and Beading
One of the most enduring trends in wedding dresses is the use of lace and intricate beadwork. These elements add a touch of timeless elegance and romanticism to any bridal gown. Lace overlays, delicate bead embellishments, and intricate embroidery are prominent features in many wedding dresses in Queensland. These details can transform a simple dress into a work of art, making the bride feel like royalty on her special day.
A-Line Silhouettes
A-line wedding dresses continue to be a favorite among Queensland brides. This classic silhouette is flattering on all body types and exudes a sense of grace and sophistication. The A-line shape, which flares out from the waist, creates a beautiful flow that allows for ease of movement and comfort, essential for a day filled with celebrations.
Modern and Minimalist
Clean Lines and Simple Designs
For brides who prefer a more contemporary look, minimalist wedding dresses are gaining popularity. These gowns are characterized by clean lines, simple designs, and an understated elegance that speaks volumes. In Queensland, many bridal boutiques are showcasing dresses that focus on high-quality fabrics and impeccable tailoring, rather than ornate details. This trend is perfect for brides who appreciate subtlety and sophistication.
Sleek and Structured
Another modern trend is the sleek and structured wedding dress. These gowns often feature smooth, luxurious fabrics like silk or satin and have a form-fitting design that accentuates the bride’s natural shape. The simplicity of these dresses allows the bride’s beauty and personality to shine through, making them a popular choice for contemporary weddings.
Bohemian Beauty
Flowing Fabrics and Floral Details
Bohemian-inspired wedding dresses are ideal for brides looking to embrace a more relaxed and free-spirited style. These gowns typically feature flowing fabrics, floral lace details, and whimsical touches like bell sleeves or tiered skirts. In Queensland, where outdoor and beach weddings are common, bohemian dresses offer a perfect blend of comfort and style. They capture the laid-back yet elegant vibe that many brides desire.
Off-the-Shoulder and Backless Designs
Off-the-shoulder and backless designs are also prominent in bohemian wedding dresses. These styles add a touch of romance and allure, perfect for a bride who wants to feel both beautiful and confident. The open shoulders or back details can be adorned with delicate lace or beadwork, enhancing the bohemian aesthetic.
Vintage-Inspired Glamour
Old Hollywood Glamour
Vintage-inspired wedding dresses bring a sense of nostalgia and timeless beauty. Drawing inspiration from the glamorous eras of the past, these gowns often feature intricate beadwork, luxurious fabrics, and dramatic silhouettes. Queensland brides who love the charm of old Hollywood glamour often opt for dresses with details like sequins, pearls, and dramatic trains.
Tea-Length Dresses
Tea-length wedding dresses, reminiscent of the 1950s, are making a comeback. These dresses are perfect for brides who want a vintage look with a modern twist. The shorter length allows for more freedom of movement and showcases a bride’s shoes, adding a playful element to the ensemble. In Queensland’s warm climate, a tea-length dress is also a practical choice.
Personalization and Customization
Unique Custom Creations
More brides are seeking unique, personalized wedding dresses that reflect their individual style and story. Customization options, such as bespoke fittings and personalized embellishments, are increasingly popular. Queensland bridal boutiques offer a range of customization services, allowing brides to create a one-of-a-kind gown that perfectly captures their vision.
Mix and Match
Another trend is the mix-and-match approach, where brides can combine different tops and skirts to create a look that is uniquely theirs. This approach allows for endless possibilities and ensures that the bride feels truly special in her custom creation.
Conclusion
Queensland’s bridal fashion scene is vibrant and diverse, offering something for every bride. Whether you’re drawn to the classic elegance of lace and beading, the modern sophistication of minimalist designs, the relaxed beauty of bohemian styles, or the timeless charm of vintage-inspired gowns, there is a wedding dress in Queensland that will make your dreams come true.

Wedding Dress A Journey Through Time and Style
Tumblr media
The wedding dress, a symbol of love, commitment, and tradition, has undergone a fascinating evolution throughout history. From ancient civilizations to modern-day weddings, the wedding dress has transformed in style, silhouette, and significance, reflecting changes in culture, fashion, and societal norms. In this article, we'll embark on a journey through time to explore the evolution of the wedding dress, tracing its origins, examining key milestones, and celebrating the diverse styles that have shaped bridal fashion over the centuries.
Ancient Origins: Symbolism and Tradition
The origins of the wedding dress can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where bridal attire played a central role in wedding ceremonies. In ancient Rome, brides wore brightly coloured tunics adorned with intricate embroidery and jewels, symbolizing wealth and fertility. Similarly, in ancient Greece, brides wore flowing robes in vibrant hues, often accented with gold jewelry and floral wreaths to invoke the blessings of the gods.
Medieval Splendor: Luxurious Fabrics and Elaborate Details
During the Middle Ages, wedding dresses became symbols of wealth and status, with nobility and royalty showcasing their affluence through sumptuous fabrics and elaborate designs. Brides wore gowns made of rich silks, velvets, and brocades, embellished with intricate beadwork, embroidery, and lace. These opulent dresses were often adorned with pearls, gemstones, and precious metals, reflecting the extravagance of the era's aristocracy.
Victorian Elegance: White Weddings and Romanticism
The Victorian era saw the rise of the white wedding dress, thanks to Queen Victoria's iconic choice to wear a white gown for her wedding to Prince Albert in 1840. Prior to this, brides wore dresses in a variety of colours, but Queen Victoria's white satin gown, adorned with Honiton lace, set a new standard for bridal fashion. White came to symbolize purity, innocence, and new beginnings, and soon became the traditional colour for wedding dresses.
The Roaring Twenties: Flappers and Fashion
The 1920s ushered in a new era of bridal fashion, influenced by the spirit of the Jazz Age and the rise of the flapper. Wedding dresses became shorter, sleeker, and more daring, reflecting the liberated attitudes of the time. Brides embraced drop-waist silhouettes, beaded embellishments, and art deco details, channeling the glamour and exuberance of the Roaring Twenties. The wedding dress became a symbol of modernity and independence, as women sought to express their individuality through fashion.
Mid-Century Chic: Elegance and Simplicity
In the mid-20th century, wedding dresses took on a more traditional and romantic aesthetic, with designers focusing on timeless elegance and simplicity. The 1950s saw the rise of the full-skirted ball gown, popularized by icons such as Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn. Brides embraced delicate lace, flowing chiffon, and feminine details, creating a classic and timeless look that remains popular to this day. The wedding dress became a symbol of romance and nostalgia, evoking the glamour of bygone eras.
Contemporary Trends: Diversity and Individuality
In the 21st century, wedding dress trends have become more diverse and inclusive than ever before, reflecting the changing landscape of bridal fashion. Brides have embraced a wide range of styles, silhouettes, and colours, from bohemian-inspired designs to sleek and modern creations. Designers have responded to this diversity by offering a range of options to suit every bride's taste and personality, whether she's seeking a traditional ball gown or a non-traditional jumpsuit.
Conclusion:
The evolution of the wedding dress is a testament to the enduring power of love, tradition, and fashion. From ancient civilizations to modern-day weddings, the wedding dress has evolved in style, silhouette, and significance, reflecting changes in culture, fashion, and societal norms. Today, brides have more options than ever before when it comes to choosing the perfect gown for their special day, allowing them to express their individuality and embrace their unique style. As bridal fashion continues to evolve, one thing remains constant: the wedding dress will always be a symbol of love, commitment, and timeless beauty.

Types of Embroidery Machines and their Functions
Tumblr media
The art of embellishing fabric or other materials with the use of thread or yarn is called embroidery. Moreover, embroidery can use other materials like sequins, beads, pearls, and quills. These days, you can see embroidery on skirts, jeans, golf shorts, caps, headgear, coats, overlays, blankets, dress shirts, and stockings. In embroidery, a vast array of colors and thread types are employed. It’s also utilized for materials for clothes and gifts. Machine embroidery is the term for the technique of creating a pattern on textile material with the use of an embroidery or sewing machine. It is mostly used for corporate advertising, uniform decoration, and product branding (logo). In the fashion sector, it’s also utilized to embellish clothing. Fanciers and craftsmen utilize machine embroidery on garments and home decor to enhance the present. Consider designing wall hangings, quilts, etc. We shall discuss all of the many kinds of embroidery machines in the below section. Additionally, there are contemporary embroidery machines. That is computer-controlled machine embroidery that has been computerized. Weavetech, being the best textile machinery manufacturer in Gujarat, delivers innovation and quality. So why look anywhere else when you can connect with us for innovation and quality.
Mechanical Embroidery Machine
There are other kinds of embroidery machines, but this is the first one that functions similarly to a household sewing machine. Here, the machine uses the needle to pierce the fabric material; the real fabric, needle, and treads are not attached. This machine pulls the stretched thread through the hole to make the embroidery design over the fabric. Additionally, this machine functions just like a standard sewing machine.
Free-motion Machine Embroidery
 This kind of free-motion machine embroidery uses a regular zigzag sewing machine to create embroidered motifs. This is primarily utilized for customization, meaning that it has less automation and innovation. The machine’s feeding dog was covered, and a human manipulated the cloth by hand to create a design. The running stitch will be used to make the embroidery. Thicker lines are needed for patterns so that the machine can perform a zigzag stitch. Whatever the design created for this, it is unique and cannot be duplicated exactly. Another name for it is a free-hand sewing machine. Here, visualize the needle as a pencil and use it to create the design on the fabric by moving it in the direction you want.
Cornely Hand-guided Embroidery
Hand-guided embroidery requires one human operator to control the machine’s speed and accuracy while utilizing the artistic ability of a trained embroiderer. Special chain stitch, satin stitch, long and short stitch, cording, and applique may all be produced with this machine. Interior designers are well familiar with this hand-guided needlework. The cost of the embroidered job will vary based on design times, size, intricacy, and size. Following the creation of this machine, individuals realized that more diverse embroidery machine designs were required, which led to the introduction of computer-controlled embroidery machines.
Computer-Controlled Embroidery Machines
All contemporary embroidery machines are solely computer-controlled. The devices we observed in the previous section are sewing machines that also function as embroidery machines. However, these are exclusively meant to be embroidered. With these kinds of machines, the design is pre-programmed into the machine by the program format. The fabric is then put into the hoop, which is then fastened onto the machine. At that point, the machine automatically begins to embroider in accordance with the program. This computerized embroidery machine requires a variety of inputs.
The machine’s straightforward, independent touchscreen interface will let users adjust many parameters, including design, stitch type, stitch length, and other necessary factors. This activity does not require the hiring of professional labor because the machine generates an accurate design based on input instructions. Here, all that is required is the creation of a simple pattern in software, which must then be fed into the machine interface and turned on. The machine will then automatically begin to embroider the fabric, stopping itself if a thread breaks.
1- Single-head embroidery machine: This machine has a single embroidery head, as the name would imply. The machine’s arms move in accordance with directions, and the embroidery head remains stationary. This device will have seven to fifteen needles. operating at a speed of roughly 300–1000 stitches per minute (the machine’s manufacturer may have an impact on the number of needles and stitches per minute).
2- Multi-head embroidery machine: This machine has a single embroidery head, as the name would imply. The machine’s arms move in accordance with directions, and the embroidery head remains stationary. This device will have seven to fifteen needles. operating at a speed of roughly 300–1000 stitches per minute (the machine’s manufacturer may have an impact on the number of needles and stitches per minute).
3- Schiffli embroidery machine: These devices are used in the Schiffli product line. The fabric that requires embroidery is fed into the Schiffli machines vertically, which is a unique characteristic that is achieved entirely through the use of a device. The method of stitching will be horizontal needle entry. At the same height, every needle is positioned in a straight line and simultaneously pierces the fabric. Here, the cloth is gripped, and as it moves both horizontally and vertically, a design is eventually created on the fabric. Two textiles in total can be treated. Due to the individual handling of each needle, color shift is possible. Depending on the type of machine, 2200 needles can be inserted into fabric in a single shot.

 What is the classification of chikankari?
Chikankari, the traditional hand-embroidery technique originating from Lucknow, India, can be classified into several categories based on various factors such as the type of stitches, the design motifs used, and the overall style of the embroidery. Here are some common classifications of Chikankari:
Based on Stitches:
Taipchi (Running Stitch): This is the most basic stitch used in Chikankari, often creating a grid-like pattern. It's used as the foundation for more complex stitches and designs.
Bakhiya (Double Back Stitch): Bakhiya involves a double backstitch and is commonly used to create fine outlines and floral motifs.
Hool (Eyelet Hole Stitch): Hool is an intricate stitch that creates small, round holes in the fabric. It's often used to fill in the centers of floral motifs.
Phanda (Knot Stitch): Phanda is a raised, knot-like stitch that adds texture to the design. It's used for creating small, circular shapes within the embroidery.
Murri (Seed Stitch): Murri involves creating tiny, bead-like stitches that give the appearance of small beads or pearls scattered on the fabric.
Based on Design Motifs:
Floral Chikankari: Designs primarily feature flowers, leaves, vines, and other botanical elements.
Jaal (Net) Chikankari: Jaal patterns often resemble a mesh or net and can incorporate a variety of motifs within the netting.
Peacock Chikankari: This style includes motifs inspired by peacocks, such as their feathers and graceful forms.
Butta (Paisley) Chikankari: Butta patterns are characterized by the presence of paisley motifs, which are iconic in Indian design.
Jhumka (Earring) Chikankari: Jhumka designs incorporate motifs resembling traditional Indian earrings.
Manka (Conch Shell) Chikankari: Manka patterns include conch shell motifs, which are significant in Indian culture.
Based on Color: While traditional Chikankari is often done in white-on-white embroidery, contemporary Chikankari may use colored threads to create vibrant and varied designs.
Based on Garments:
Chikankari Sarees: Sarees with Chikankari embroidery are highly popular, featuring beautiful designs along the border and pallu.
Chikankari Salwar Kameez: Chikankari is commonly used for salwar kameez sets, with the embroidery on the kameez (tunic) and sometimes the dupatta (scarf).
Chikankari Kurtis: Chikankari kurtis (tunics) are fashionable and comfortable, suitable for both casual and formal wear.
Chikankari Dresses: Chikankari is also used in designing dresses, often combining the embroidery with contemporary dress styles.
Chikankari Men's Wear: Men's kurta pajamas and sherwanis are sometimes adorned with Chikankari embroidery for special occasions.
These classifications provide a glimpse into the diverse and intricate world of Chikankari embroidery. The specific style and classification of Chikankari can vary based on regional influences and individual artisans' creativity, resulting in a wide range of stunning Chikankari creations.

Embracing the Past with Embellished Clutches
Fashion has a cyclical nature, and every few decades, styles from the past re-emerge with a fresh twist. Embellished Clutches are a perfect example of this phenomenon.

These clutches often feature exquisite patterns and motifs, ranging from floral designs to geometric shapes.

Oh and what if the next dress description in Ballad of Empires is going to be so beautiful complex but at the same time my favourite creation yet? The imperial gown with high neck collar or a deep plunging neckline without being sexualised or more but beautiful because it does not reveal much? The simple and yet flared and gentle embroidered sleeves and flared skirt?
Or the imperial gown which screams royalty? Beads and sash and soutache amidst rich embroidery and a headpiece. A gown with layers of tulle and yet elegant. Pearls and flowers of agate. A cape with broad shoulders made of several faint coloured layers of veils.

British Royal Weddings - Part 1
Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten, 20 November 1947.
For her wedding dress, Elizabeth still required ration coupons to buy the material for her gown, designed by Norman Hartnell. The dress was "a duchesse satin bridal gown with motifs of star lilies and orange blossoms." Hartnell, who had been Court Designer since 1938, claimed it as "the most beautiful dress I had so far made".   Elizabeth's wedding shoes were made out of satin and were trimmed with silver and seed pearl.  Elizabeth did her own makeup for the wedding. Her wedding bouquet was prepared by the florist M. H. Longman, and consisted of "white orchids with a sprig of myrtle". The myrtle was taken from "the bush grown from the original myrtle in Queen Victoria's wedding bouquet". The bouquet was returned to the abbey the day after the service to be laid on the tomb of the Unknown Warrior, following a tradition started by Elizabeth's mother at her wedding in 1923.
Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones, 6 May 1960.
The wedding dress was designed by Norman Hartnell, the favoured couturier of the royals, and was made from silk organza. The skirt comprised some 30 metres of fabric. Hartnell specifically kept the adornments of the dress such as the crystal embellishments and beading to a minimum in order to suit Margaret's petite frame. Margaret’s look was completed with the the Poltimore tiara. Vogue described the dress as "stunningly tailored". Another author called it "a study in simplicity". In 1960, Life magazine named it "the simplest royal wedding gown in history". It has also been described as one of Hartnell's most beautiful and sophisticated pieces.
Princess Anne and Mark Phillips, 14 November 1973.
The wedding dress was designed by Maureen Baker, the chief designer for the ready-to-wear label Susan Small; she had previously designed outfits for the princess. The dress was an embroidered "Tudor-style" wedding dress with a high collar and "mediaeval sleeves". The train was embroidered by Lock's Embroiderers. Anne was said to have designed many aspects of the dress herself. Compared to previous royal wedding dresses, it was described as "simplistic" and was noted as being close to contemporary 1970s wedding fashions.
Lady Diana Spencer and Charles, Prince of Wales, 29 July 1981.
The dress was designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, who described it as a dress that "had to be something that was going to go down in history, but also something that Diana loved", and which would be "suitably dramatic in order to make an impression". Diana personally selected the designers to make her wedding dress because she was fond of a chiffon blouse they designed for her formal photo session with Lord Snowdon.
The woven silk taffeta was made by Stephen Walters of Suffolk. The Emanuel's consulted Maureen Baker, who had made the wedding dress of Princess Anne, during their construction of the gown. One observer wrote "the dress was a crinoline, a symbol of sexuality and grandiosity, a meringue embroidered with pearls and sequins, its bodice frilled with lace". The gown was decorated with hand embroidery, sequins, and 10,000 pearls, centering on a heart motif. An 18-karat gold horseshoe was stitched into the petticoats as a sign of good fortune. The lace used to trim it was antique hand-made Carrickmacross lace which had belonged to Queen Mary. 
Fittings of the dress posed difficulties because Diana had developed bulimia and dropped from a size 14 to a size 10 in the months leading up to the wedding. Even the seamstress was concerned about her weight loss and feared the dress might not fit as it should.
The twenty-five-foot train posed problems. According to writer Andrew Morton, in Diana: Her True Story, the gown's designers realized too late that they had forgotten to allow for the train's length in relation to the size of the glass coach Diana and her father rode in to the ceremony. They found it difficult to fit inside the glass coach, and the train was badly crushed despite Diana's efforts. This accounted for the visible wrinkles in the wedding gown when she arrived at the cathedral. Diana also had a spare wedding dress, which would have acted as a stand-in if the dress' design was revealed before her big day.
Prince Andrew, Duke of York and Sarah Ferguson, 23 July 1986.
Sarah Ferguson wore a dress made from ivory duchesse satin and featuring heavy beading, designed by Lindka Cierach, the beadwork incorporated various symbols including hearts representing romance, anchors and waves representing Prince Andrew's sailing background and bumblebees and thistles, which were taken from Sarah Ferguson's family heraldry. Copies of the dress, including the motifs specific to the royal family, went on sale in stores just hours after the end of the wedding. Influenced by the wedding dress of Lady Diana Spencer, a notable feature of Sarah Ferguson's 17 foot long train was the intertwined initials A and S sewn in silver beads. The head-dress and bouquet, fabric rosettes or artificial silk flowers were used to adorn the gown itself.  Ferguson was pleased with the dress, describing it in her 1997 memoir, My Story, as "an exquisite creation I'd lost twenty-six pounds to fit into. Lindka was a genius; I knew she could make the most flattering gown ever, and she had. It was amazingly boned, like a corset." Hair stylist Denise McAdam and make-up artist Teresa Fairminer attended to the bride, while florist Jane Packer designed the bouquet. The ivory silk wedding dress became the season's most sought-after style.

Lasabrjotr Chapter 79: The Rites of Blood and Knowledge
Chapters: 79/?
Fandom: Thor (Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe
Rating: pg 13(Blood)
Relationships: Loki x Reader
Characters: Loki (Marvel),Thor(Marvel) Wanda Maximoff, vision, Bruce Banner
Additional Tags: Post-Endgame: Best Possible Ending (Canon-Divergent), Party Time, In Reference To Blood Mixing Mentioned In The Eddas
Summary:  The great ceremonies begin.
The dreams were powerful that night, whisking you off to far away places, off to the increasingly familiar form of the gargantuan space artist. There was a strange nostalgia out here that you were slowly coming to recognize as being not your own. How could it be? You had never physically been here, only visited in dreams.
With green and blue sparkling at your right and left, you drifted along in their orbit, yet another asteroid in a primordial star system.
First Wielder.
The concept filtered through your mind, trailing a warm and wistful longing behind it.
Peace. Eternity. Creation.
Before battle. Before separation. Before imprisonment.
Before all.
The star system was strange: every time you came here, the sun was a little different. A variable star, its brightness oscillating, it was still young and new.
There was only one planet in this system, located fairly close to the star. The presence of the colossal giant perturbed the asteroids and gas around the star, but their great mass prevented them from coalescing.
Comets formed in great numbers from the gas and ice beyond them, whizzing past them, inspiring new drawings. Asteroids clumped up against them; a brush of their great hand sent them flying, to collide into one another, to spin away from their unstable orbit, and join the comets on their cross-system journey, to crash into the singular planet.
The colossus watched with the patience of true immortality, as the planet burned and erupted, filled up with water, and clouds, and sky.
Thoughtfully, they regarded an asteroid they held in one hand, then, with their color-stained fingers, they began to draw.
The wistfulness and regret reached their peak, and you woke up in the empty bathtub, with a thought ringing in your head.
The Wielders always came to a bad end.
                                                                            ******
Loki was somewhat disgruntled to discover that you'd been having these dreams without him. He didn't scold, but his concern was clear. You described them in as much detail as you could, but, to your dismay, he didn't have any explanation for what you'd been seeing while you slept.
It would just have to remain a mystery. The upcoming day was going to be far too busy to dwell on it.
Both you and Loki had dressed in your absolute finest, your armor polished bright, your skirt covered in embroidery, your chest and neck festooned in beads of carved gold and pearl. You still felt a little bit like you were so buried in finery that you became invisible, but you tried to carry it with pride. All of this had been put together especially for you, and that hard work deserved to be shown off.
Loki was so magnificent in his fur-trimmed cloak, and elaborate helmet, you had to firmly tell yourself not to spend the whole day just staring at him all moon-eyed.
Maybe just a few hours.
Today, the Second Feast, was really the main event, as far as this Buridag was concerned. At noon, you would participate in the Blood Taking ceremony, wherin you would 'mingle blood' with the royal brothers, in order to be formally adopted into Asgardian high society. This would cement your status as high enough to advise Loki as one of the most important members of his personal entourage. And before the evening feast, you would perform the ritual that would confirm you as an official Seidkona.
But before that, you would have the time to run around and enjoy the festival.
It was set up like a combination job fair and reenactment fest. Stalls lined the streets and filled courtyards, peopled by the crafters of Asgard. Smiths, armorers, and carpenters, goldsmiths, lapidaries, scrimshanders, and glassblowers. Weavers, spinners, leatherworkers, and dyemakers, artists, musicians, chefs, academics, mages, stonemasons, construction workers, scribes, dancers, and cheesemongers. All the sights, and sounds, and scents, and flavors that made up Asgard were being demonstrated and celebrated.
Your Father and Tara joined you in the streets, and Loki reluctantly released you into their care, having some preparation left to do.
Tara, flouncing around in an apron dress and domed brooches very much like your usual style, gushed over how beautiful you looked, and your father, rather sheepishly dressed in an Asgardian greatcoat and cowl, agreed openly.
“You look like a princess.” he said. “A real one. You...You walk different now. Talk different. You look so strong.”
“Is it me, or are all these people following us?” Tara asked, not very quietly. A few chagrined people in the crowd that flowed in your wake down the street peeled away, and wandered in different directions. The rest either had less shame, or had orders to keep watch over you.
You spared the group a glance. There appeared to be a solid mix of Asgardians and humans, several of which had their phones out. You surmised there would be a new wave of photos of you on the internet over the next few days.
“Keep your cowl up dad.” You advised.
“Want me to run them off?” he offered.
“Nah. I don't really mind if they take pictures of me. Can't really hurt anything.”
“Wasn't so great last time.” Tara pointed out. “I spent a lot of time stanning for you.”
“Well, last time was sensationalized bullcrap. This time is a nice festival. I mean, check out that guy!”
That Guy was a glassblower in his stall, spinning a huge, bubble thin amphora of rose pink glass. You had seen its like before, but never seen one made.
“Oh, they age crystal mead in those! The pink lets in the right wavelengths of light that give it it's shimmering quality.”
“What's crystal mead?” your father asked.
“Don't try more than a few sips, if anyone offers.” you warned. “Asgardians have iron guts. Their booze is way too strong.”
“Yeah, they warned us about that on the plane.” Tara said. “And yesterday, it looked like they had everything divided up by species, so no one got the wrong thing.”
You took them around to various demonstrations: spinners spinning yarn, brewers preparing several of Asgards many alcoholic beverages, apothecaries showing how basic medicines were made, a cobbler putting together a nice pair of boots.
“So, Asgard's really advanced, right?” Tara asked. “Why is everything like Ye Olden Times?”
“Asgard's never had that big a population, even at it height. There just isn't that much demand for mass production. Most things are bespoke, or self-made. Quality depends entirely on the maker, so that, of course, becomes a competition. And that, in turn, becomes a matter of cultural pride. Also, they have thousands of years to get good at what they do, so Asgardian made goods are super high quality, and they judge personal worth by that. I don't think they'll ever automate; it would go against a lot of what they stand for.”
You snagged the three of you a traditional Asgardian snack; fat sausages, wrapped in savory pastry. You thought it might be good to have something else in your stomach before the first ceremony.
Tara called them Asgardian corn dogs, which you couldn't wait to share with Loki, if only to watch his nose wrinkle with disdain over the undignified term.
“So when do we have to let you go?” Tara asked.
You checked your phone for the time, stuffing the last of your sausage into your mouth.
“Eh, I've got a few minutes left. Better start heading over though.”
Your winding path through the courtyards took you past minstrels, impromptu dances, and games, to a large, tall dais that had been put together as a temporary mirror to the throne room. It towered over the City Hall courtyard like a ziggurat. You'd be up there soon enough, but currently...
“Who's that?” your father asked, pointing at a man standing at the top. “Doesn't look like Thor.”
You squinted up at the figure, his bright armor shining in the rarefied sunlight.
“Ah, That's Heimdall. He's the Guardian of Asgard, and god of...uh, sight? I think? Vigilance? It's not quite that neat and simple, you know? The whole 'God Of' thing is a bit more complicated than that.”
“So that's a god?” your father asked. “How can you tell? Are they all gods? What does that even mean?”
“All good questions. Mostly because they are very hard to answer.”
Your father and Tara jerked at the sudden new voice, and, not for the first time, you found yourself amazed at how easily a man of the sheer size and importance as the king of Asgard could sneak up on people.
“Your Majesty.” you said calmly, inclining your head. Your father and Tara dipped into awkward bows, a little awed by the mythical figure before them. Thor didn't necessarily demand obeisance, but he didn't exactly discourage it either; he let people act as they felt appropriate.
“Not every Asgardian is a god.” Thor explained. “Those that are go by the term 'Aesir', a common name through most of the realms for beings of that type. You are born Aesir; you cannot become one by outside influences. However, Aesir nature doesn't always become apparent at birth, it often doesn't manifest until adolescence. As for what it means to be Aesir...that doesn't have so straightforward an answer. I leave it to the philosophers, who, incidentally, are in booth seventy-eight.
Anyway, I have come to collect your daughter for the ceremony. There isn't much time left, so we'd all better get in place. If you go through those two poles there right now, you can get very good seats.”
“This could get a bit weird.” You warned. “It's a ceremony more ancient than any recorded human practices, so it's probably going to seem archaic.”
“Oh, it's not so bad.” Thor said. “It's been updated and refined over all those years. For instance, everyone remains clothed now, and there are at least seventy percent fewer entrails used.”
Your father coughed, and you rolled your eyes. Thor's sense of humor was difficult for you to understand, considering how serious he was about everything. The thing about Thor's jokes was that he might have been joking about something that had really happened, or he might have been joking about something he'd completely made up, but he would never specify which.
“On that note, I've got to go.” you said. “Entrails to sort, and all that.”
Your father coughed again, Tara patting him compassionately on the back.
“Good luck!” she called to your receding back.
                                                                                ******
“Now, you've been fully briefed on what will happen during this ceremony, correct?” Thor asked, as the two of you loitered near the back stairs of the temporary dais. People were filtering in to seats and standing room around the courtyard, waiting for things to start.
“I think so.” you said. “If I've got this right, there's going to be a special dance-”
“The Alignment of the Celestial and Worldly bodies, yes.” Thor said. “It symbolizes everything that must come together to bring the 'adoptee' to the greater 'family'. In this case, it will tell the story of how you came here to join our family.”
A soft warmth crept up your neck, and heated your ears beneath your helmet. You knew it was all socio-symbolism, but the notion of 'joining the family' hit differently now that you were on intimate terms with Loki.
“And then all the braziers will have some kind of incense thrown in, and in the smoke, we'll all go up the stairs like we're magically appearing. Honestly, it sounds like it'll look really cool.”
“All ceremonies contain a bit of theatrics.” Thor agreed. “Perhaps that is the most important part. Or that's the part that makes it important. I wish we still had some of the traditional ceremonial incense, but we just don't have access to the materials anymore. You would have liked it; it was much more floral than most of what you have here. We did manage to get some lavender though. That should be nice.”
“Maybe one day, when the Bifrost is more stable.” You said. It did sound very nice. “Loki said that you, and he, and Heimdall will sing a blessing song?”
“Yes, a divine blessing from a trio of Aesir. It's got to be three. And then...”
“Yeah. And then.” Loki had told you about the bloodletting. He had been very frank about it. “I know. I'm nervous, but not afraid.”
Thor nodded. “Sometimes there are unforeseen effects, but never anything bad. You'll be perfectly safe.”
“I know. The nervousness just comes from knowing it'll hurt. Even if just for a short time.”
You buckled under Thor's hand when it came down on your shoulder, enveloping the whole thing.
“Loki would rather slice out his own guts than draw your blood, trust me. He's been trying to figure out how to get around it for weeks. Unfortunately, the blood is the most important part of the magic. It carries all of the power. It's very old magic: according to him, this is practically the only part of the ritual that has remained unchanged from the beginning.”
“Did there really used to be entrails and naked people, or was that a joke?”
“Ehhh, well, yes and no. This ceremony originated with the Vanir, and they are not opposed to nakedness under certain circumstances. In this case, everyone who attended was expected to leave the clothes they came in at the door, and wear a special loincloth instead. This was actually to prevent violence, by barring hidden weaponry from being brought to ceremony grounds. So rather than pure nudity, everyone was dressed as scantily as was possible.
As for entrails...unfortunately yes, that was also a part of it. A seer would perform a divination using the entrails of a slaughtered animal. That practice was going out of fashion, even before the war, and I don't think anyone today even remembers how it was done.”
You shuddered. Yes, it was a different culture, and a long time ago, but it still grossed you out.
“I'll have to remember to thank Loki for trying to get me out of it, even if he wasn't successful.” You said. He really did put in a lot of effort behind the scenes. If only he were more open about some of that effort, so you could appreciate it more.
“He was adamant about the bull.” Thor said. “Demanded a private ritual the night before. Put your helmet up on the pillar, then sacrificed and butchered the beast himself. Insisted on it. Did our ancestors proud, but you know he knows his way around a knife.”
“I wish he'd told me. I was really stressed about that whole thing. I'm glad, in the end, that he was thinking of me, but I really wish I'd known. I wouldn't have lost so much sleep!”
“It was a little last minute.” Thor admitted. “I approved it the instant he explained, but we had to do it pretty much immediately afterwards. He really should have told you, but I fear my brother is usually more invested in the making of plans, rather than what to do once they come to fruition. I feel you will be a positive influence on him, though.”
Even though he was wearing his eyepatch, rather than the mismatched prosthetic, his one blue eye was open and sincere.
“I think so too.” you said. You already were influencing each other. It was impossible to live so close, to sleep in the same bed, without doing so. But Loki did have a bad habit of assuming things, a by-product of his upbringing as a leader, you supposed. You would simply have to speak up more.
Perhaps you had gotten too comfortable. But perhaps you wanted to be too comfortable. It might be a holdover from your year of struggle, but having someone who wanted to do so much for you was very tempting. You knew it would be better to strive for a balance, but you also knew that, unless Loki somehow diminished himself severely, the two of you would never truly be equals.
But you admired that greatness, and somehow, those all too common flaws in him made him easier for you to love. They made him so real.
An ambling drum beat started up, accompanied by the brassy ting of zills, and a flute. Loki joined you and Thor in peeking out around the dais, just as a group of dancers spread out around the courtyard.
You'd been told that the dancers represented personages from history and legend. You were pretty sure that the three women who orbited the dance stage equidistant from one another must be the Norns, and you assumed the cluster of people standing beneath a glittering tree branch and clanging their zills were probably meant to be the ancestors of the royal family.
The dance told a story of a woman dressed like you, and a man dressed like Loki, wearing silver bells at their wrists and ankles that jingled with every step. They made everything look so much more graceful and sensual than it really had been: Holding hands like the rune branding had been on purpose, dancing circles with each other, like everything had been friendly and not at all awkward from the very beginning. How elegantly 'you' swooned into 'his' arms, while the assassin was caught. How triumphantly 'you' defended 'him' against the Huldra. And how beautifully 'he' clasped 'you' in a romantic, yet properly chaste embrace.
There was none of the blood, none of the fear, or anger, or petulance, or confusion. No loss, or loneliness, or uncertainty.
But that was how it worked, wasn't it? None of those things could be shown to the general public. This was ceremony. This was spectacle! This was what would be remembered.
The pair danced away, out of sight, the ancestors retreated, and the Norns raised their arms in unison. All around the courtyard, attendants dumped incense into the torches and braziers, sending thick smoke and mysterious perfume wafting over the entire area.
“Show's on, darling.” Loki said, grasping your shoulders, and leading you up the stairs. A new wave of anxiety washed over you as you rose above the sweet smelling clouds like a legend. Heimdall stepped aside to let you pass, Loki and Thor leading you right up to the edge of the elevated platform, where waited a podium, upon which rested a brass bowl. An unfamiliar rune was stamped on its bottom. So that was where the magic would happen.
Thor held his hand out over an unlit brazier just in front of the podium and concentrated. Scarcely a moment later sparks danced between his fingers and jumped to ignite the fuel. The light illuminated the clouds of incense, obscuring the audience. Cut off thus from every other person out there, you didn't flinch as the trio of gods each placed a hand on you, and began to sing.
You couldn't help but wonder if they had done this before. It was a complex song, with rising and falling harmonies, parts layered over one another, something that couldn't have been easy to learn. As their voices dipped and flowed, you felt the power rising, just like out in the camp, months ago. Why could you sense divine power? Was it because of your magic? Was there anyone out in the crowd that could feel it too?
Thor's good eye had begun to sparkle with crackling white energy, the power of the blessing he was singing into you. You assumed Heimdall, behind you, was lighting up orange, and when you turned your head to glance at Loki, you were suffused with the gentle glow of the blue light from your dreams.
All of the anxiety drained out of you at the touch of that light, your arms dropping to your sides as relaxation took over.
Everything was all right. Loki was right beside you. Thor and Heimdall were with you, their voices reverberating through you, their blessing upon you. The rare winter sun filtered down over you like a blanket, as the last notes of the Aesir's song filled your head.
Loki gently took your hand, gazing earnestly into your face as the calming light faded from his eyes.
“Forgive me, my love.” he whispered.
A sudden, painful jab, ripped you out of your cocoon of sunny calm. With a sharp cry, you turned to stare at your fingertip, pierced deeply by the tip of one of Loki's knives.
Loki held your hand over the brass bowl, letting the blood drip, enough to cover the rune at the bottom. Then he tenderly bandaged the tiny wound, lines of regret around his eyes. Thor held his hand out for a slash, and then Loki turned the blade on himself. Blood slowly filled the little bowl, as a light throbbing started in your head. Every drop that rippled its surface was like a giant heartbeat within you.
Once it was full, Thor and Loki began singing again, lifting the small bowl between them. They held it up to the sun, and then poured it onto the burning brazier. The fire sputtered, sizzling, sending a huge cloud of smoke directly into your face. You gagged on the scent of burning blood, practically bathed in it, a layer of death-scent on your skin. The song cut through it, thrumming in your ears, an echoing promise of cherishment and fidelity.
The blood burned down into nothing, the smoke slowly clearing. All of the people in the courtyard came back into view, the upturned faces solemn. The dancers below picked up the chorus.
And you understood them.
Loki took your hand and lifted it up, flourishing to the crowd. They cheered, while you stood there, stunned. You understood what they were saying, their enthusiastic calls, their songs. The blood smell lingered in your nose, the throbbing swiftly receding from your head.
He led you to the stairs down as you wobbled, but you never made it all the way down. Dizziness overcame you, and you collapsed into Loki's arms.
