Aaron LeFay’s Cersei skirt construction (pictured left to right):
Picture 1 is of the stretch waste band I made to pull all the skirt panels to my hips so that it is snug and fans out as it falls
Picture 2 is the back of the skirt panels the fabric I choose was to show a bit of history because Game of Thrones is based off the Wars of the Roses. The design reminded me of old United Kingdom and Celtic art and to also show Cersei walking away from the lavish life and freedom she use to know
Picture 3 shows one side of the side panels of the skirt. I loved the fabric because it shows that her character has been broken and was made into nothing like sand it also represents the ashes of when she blew up the sept and killed the High Sparrow and all in it.
Picture 4 This fabric I love because of just how wild it is. It makes me think of three things one the effects of wild fire and dragon fire because of the waves and swirls and it also reminds me of frost because of the shine it has and to show that the Night King and white walkers are coming and also pay respect to House Starks words, “Winter is Coming” and its is finally here.
Pika Chu’s costume design of Sansa’s end-goal costume description:
This is based purely on the theory that Sansa will end up on the iron throne at the end of ASOIAF & that she will Mirror Elizabeth I in that she won't marry.
She has an embroidered jewelled weirwood leaf wreath around her neck, representing how her Direwolf died & placing the importance of the Stark religion & what she learnt after having the Stark in her to die, only to resurface once again in the later seasons. This wreath is atop a white version of Catelyn's banded Tully neck piece, Sansa wears hers higher up her neck.
She has a wedding cloak over the top of her dress which falls down behind her, symbolising her marriage to herself & to the people, instead of the forced marriages she went through. On the shoulders are white (for Winterfell) embroidered ravens. Sansa is the only Stark not to have shown her warging abilities yet, the other children have warged into their wolves but many believe that Sansa will warg into a bird because of the bird references she's so often associated with, this detail represents Sansa as her own sole entity.
She has blood red fish hooks down the centre of her dress for her mother's house Tully.
The bottom of the dress is massive & billowed to reference Elizabeth [I] but also to represent Sansa's newfound power, whilst also retaining the romanticism that Sansa held onto in the very beginning, suggesting that whilst she's changed for the better in so many ways, she can still believe & hope in the beauty of what she imagined as a child. The blue of the dress mirrors the first dress she wears in episode 1, light blue for the innocent, romantic Stark child. White embroidered wolves and fish adorn the blue fabric at the bottom, red weirdwood leaves are stitched down the dress, cascading into ruffles.
She has Stark fur around her waist.
I wanted to include some kind of embroidery about her defeating her enemies... possibly a wolf stamping on a lion, to mirror her dress she wore to marry Tyrion. BUT I like the idea that she wouldn't want any of her enemies anywhere near her headspace & clothing!
ALSO, I recognise this style of dress doesn't seem to have been worn in the GoTs world yet, but I like the idea that Sansa makes her own gowns, and would come up with something completely new, for a new era of ruling in Westeros!
