fangrurin:got/asoiaf meme ♕ [3/8] costumes | wedding dresses (part 2)Wedding days should be a joyous event for the bride, but, unfortunately, Sansa’s being forced into a marriage that she doesn’t want, into the Lannister family. For this dress, Michele [Clapton] wanted it to be a confined, restricted bodice shape with bare, vulnerable arms. She wanted an embroidered band that would wrap around the bodice and tell Sansa’s life story.Obviously we imagined that the wedding dress has been commissioned by Cersei and the Lannisters for Sansa, and so the embroidery would have come from Cersei’s mind. We guessed that it wouldn’t be romantic or lovely and girly and pretty with dainty flowers, but a real strong message of dominance, saying that we own you now, Sansa.For the wedding band, I started at the back of the waist with some Stark direwolves and Tully fish entwined that represent Sansa’s parentage. Then, as we move to the side, the Lannister lion is tangling with the direwolf and emerging on top, representing Sansa being seduced and then controlled by members of the house of Lannister. As it moves up the center, there’s a central ascending lion that’s got a Baratheon-like crown, a nod to Joffrey’s parentage. At the back neck, the Lannister lion is stamped onto it, representing how the Lannisters now have total ownership over this girl who was once a Stark. — Michele Carraghar, Pinciple Costume Embroiderer -- source link
