Wedding was in the old town of Fredrikstad, we took all the traditions and twisted em for our own style. Tai'shar Norge!

[michellem]

Awesome :) I've never been in Fredrikstad, wrong side of the fjord :P lol. Me and my husband did that too; we did everything how we wanted it.

 

I'm really looking forward to seeing more of your stuff!

[Shen'an calhar]

I didnt use it for the wedding but i added a litle "flap" thing on the shoulder to have a cord with a sigil on. i think Lan called it a con or something. From when he gives Rand the Manetheren sigal thingy before he sees the Amyrlin(one of my favorite chapters btw)

[michellem]

Nah that isn't a con, a con is what the Cairhien officers have on their back (a stick with a little flag on top, with the symbol of the house they belong to or something). Not sure what the cord-thing Lan did was, maybe a Malkier-tradition.

[Shen'an calhar]

Had to delv in to it^^ he doesnt give it a name "From his pocket the warder produced a long length of wide, fringed golden cord and tied it around Rand left arm in a complicated knot. on the knot he fastened a red-enameled pin, a red eagle with its wings spread"

I've been trying to think of how to pick out clothing for my WoT costume and this thread has some great ideas in it!

 

One of the things that I keep getting hung up on is historical medieval vs. fantasy medieval.  

[michellem]

Well I think it is in general quite open for interpretation Brandie. Some of the countries have very specific styles, while others are not described to such detail. So I guess it depends on what kind of character you want to be :P

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too...

*laughs* I want to be a Green Aes Sedai of course but I don't really know what country I would be from... Guess I would need to figure that out and then dress accordingly    

[michellem]

Well not necessarily; a lot of Aes Sedai live a long time and travel a lot, and wear fashions from several countries and some dresses that are a mix of different styles. At least that is what I would expect.

[Brandie]

Which makes it even more difficult to pick a style. And what about the Age of Legends? Does it go into any real detail about their clothing. It would be more modern I would think, you know with the flying cars and such.

[michellem]

Hmmm I think the only things we know about their clothing, is the Aiel cadin'sor, and that streith was very fashionable. The only time we see something from there is Rand's trip through the glass columns and for once RJ didn't describe clothing in every detail

 

I guess you just gotta pick the style that you think is the nicest! Andor has a Tudor-era type of clothing, Cairhien is more French (think Marie Antoinette, just darker colors), Tear is spanish-influenced and about the same era as the Tudortimes, Ebou Dar I'm not quite sure where in the real world is influenced from, but I always think of them as a bit pirate-y I guess there is some french inspiration there too. Arad Doman and Tarabon I'm not sure where to compare to our real world. And the border lands and Maradon, Ghealdan and Amadicia I don't know really. Mayene, I always picture Berelain's dresses as similar to the style of dress that Arwen wears in the Lord of the Rings-movies.

[Brandie]

I hope you realize that I will be picking your brain when I start compiling my WoT wardrobe *laughs* hope you don't mind!

[michellem]

I absolutley do not; the fashion aspect is my favourite geeky thing about WoT as this thread proves!

[Brandie]

Cool, I'm going to make a Pinterest board of what I plan on buying/making and you'll have to ok it for me *giggles*

[michellem]

Good deal! ^^

bump

[Brandie]

bump?

[michellem]

Bumping a topic to make more people see it and answer in it ;D

[lolguy26]

i skimmed through the thread but imo because of min randland has tight jeans breeches 

[Brandie]

I think I want to make a Min outfit for JordanCon. My hair is short now, shoulder length and dark brown. I'm going to keep it that way for a while as well so I think she would be a good choice. Any ideas on how to put together a Min costume?
