@mitsubaz got me inspired to make a quick sketch of Elizabeth's clothes in my rewritten AU of 7ds. These were originally supposed to be a study of the art style, but I got lazy.
About some of them and why exactly they are the way they are:
First of: Why the eye patch?
Basically, she always covered her different eye with her bangs, because it was considered improper to use an eye patch because she was a princess and a public royal figure. Once she decided to run away to search for the Sins, she covered it up properly, but kept the bangs in place out of habit. Her eating is being kept tucked away in her dress in a sort of "necklace"
The runaway princess dress: I honestly don't know how Elizabeth in the Manga had time to find and put on that bodysuit she was wearing, did she just have it laying in her closet all along? Did she stop to change into it? It wouldn't make sense since it's told to us that she wandered nonstop for days on end.
In my au, she ran away with her lightest dress, leaving it torn and crumpled from the armor, using its adorns for other purposes until she collapsed on the Boar Hat's tavern.
Goddess clothes: Bells are a big part in goddess clothing. It's something that announces their arrival to humans before they're seen. The clothes themselves are kept simple and flowy.
Different bells mean different angels: common angels usually use those jingle bells, the ones present on her fake halo. Meanwhile, the bells she uses at the end of her hairdo means she's a high ranking angel.
What does a high ranking angel mean? It means an angel gained importance in the hierarchy of the Goddesses clan by gaining followers.
The line or Archangels however doesn't wear bells, just pure aura announcing their presence.
The little cloth around her neck is a reference to the tie she wears on her og desing.
The bracelet she has is something worn by the goddess to express affection and commitment. Kinda like a ring. Angels like rings because it reminds them of halos, which they only obtain (fake ones) when they climb up the hierarchy. Only the archangels have real halos, symbolizing their power.
The bracelet worn by an angel is usually adorned with the angel's and their loved ones feathers. In Elizabeth's case, there is only her feather on her bracelet, and that is because Meliodas doesn't have feathers, so she wears a strand of his hair on it as a substitute.
I think about my au a lot, like, a lot lot.
