Shuri von Neuschwanstein - A Stepmother’s Märchen

 


A Stepmother’s Märchen is actually based on historical Germany. In the Manhwa (comic), Shuri Von Neuschwanstein duchy was located in Nuremberg where she lived in the Lahneck Castle. 

The dress Shuri von Neuschwanstein is wearing in this image echoes the fashion of the early 1800s, particularly from the 1810s to the 1860s era. Her gown features an off-the-shoulder sleeve, a hallmark of the romantic and elegant styles prevalent during this period. Colored in a deep ocean blue hue, the dress stands out with its simplicity yet enhances her striking facial features and straight, long pink hair.

By the 1860s, there was a noticeable shift towards simpler designs and fabrics in women's dresses. This trend is reflected in Shuri von Neuschwanstein’s attire, where the focus remains on the single-colored fabric and the graceful flow of the full skirt, typical of the fashion sensibilities of that era.



The next dress is a whimsical choice for a picnic outing with her family. The dress features a delightful yellowish-green hue complemented by delicate white frills, creating a charming contrast. Its design includes multiple layers adorned with intricate embroidery, showcasing large ruffles that add volume and movement to the garment. Traditionally, such a dress is worn with a petticoat and a lobster tail underneath, providing structure and enhancing its silhouette. To emphasize her youthful spirit, the dress is further embellished with numerous bows, adding a playful touch. As for accessories, she adorns a choker adorned with an emerald that beautifully matches her captivating green eyes. Additionally, she wears bracelets on both wrists, adding a subtle glimmer to her ensemble, completing the look with elegance and grace suitable for a delightful picnic gathering.

Claude de Alger Obelia - Who Made Me A Princess

Image
  In my earlier blog post, I introduced Athanasia de Alger Obelia, the daughter of Emperor Claude de Alger Obelia, reigning over the Obelia Empire. His daily ensemble consists of various robes and flats. His fashion style is noted by Athanasia de Alger Obelia to resemble that of Ancient Greece or Egypt. However during formal occasions, Claude de Alger Obelia wears an official military uniform that is decorated with a double-breasted frock coat, a fur-lined cape, trousers and boots. In this image, Claude de Alger Obelia wears a tunic called a chiton which resembles that of Ancient Greece fashion in the 1800s. Although his outfit is quite simple, the tunic he wears is made out of fine cotton and silk. Being the emperor of Obelia, the colors of the side of his tunic are dyed a magnificent red embroidered with golden decorative stitchings that signifies blood and strength along with the gold representing status and power. He wears a dark green belt that helps keep the tunic in place gi...

Image
Penelope Eckart has a very defining hair color. It is often hard to match with such a vibrant hot pink hair color. However the author, Gwon Gyeoeul, managed to brilliantly give her outfits that matches with her features. The first outfit showcases an elegant composition of a long, deep green and black gown with delicate short sleeves. Adorned with a trailing ruffle fabric in light deep aquamarine cascading behind, it is accentuated by a gracefully tied bow of the same hue at the waist, embellished with lustrous white pearls.

In the second outfit, Penelope Ecka...

Melissa Podebrat - Beware of the Villainess

Image
Melissa Podebrat often wears pants in her daily wear due to her being a swordswoman. Her outfits are usually extravagant even when it is simple. Her long straight light brown hair and golden eyes makes her have an assertive demeanor around her. In the first image, Melissa Podebrat wore a royal garment to show her superiority. Her coat is adorned in many tassels attached to the sides. In the 16th century, a single tassel, made from silk or gold and silver thread, would cost the equivalent of today's thousands of dollars. Historically in the Victorian era, noble clothes were made of finely crafted linen, wool, silks, and furs. Both the undertunics and outerwear would have been heavily embroidered and might even have had precious gemstones adorning the fabrics.  Melissa Podebrat’s second outfit exudes the grandeur of royal knight formal wear, tailored to her noble status with lavish embellishments. She ties her hair up into a ponytail to match her formal wear and so her hair does not ...
