got/asoiaf meme ♕ [2/6] costumes | Daenerys Targaryen’s blue dress-tops
The inspiration for Dany’s costumes and their evolution is very much her story. The colour choice was dictated by the fact that the Dothraki precious colour is blue, so as a nod to her role as khaleesi and an acknowledgement of her dead husband and son, it becomes the basis of her palette.
After Qarth, where it was designed so that it felt as though she had made a mistake in her style choices, Dany begins to take on more elements from the Qartheen male style of dress, whilst also adding her own personal twist. The change in her clothing style is partly about her journey of becoming a leader, but also the practicality of it. She has been leading a nomadic life so wearing boots and leather trousers is a necessity. They lend strength to her look, while the shape of the dress-tops helps to create a sense of her femininity.
Many elements were considered when designing these costumes, with the dragon-scale embroidery and the cobra-hood shaped sleeves acknowledgements of both her House and her role as the Mother of Dragons, while also conveying a sense of armour and protection.The embroidery on her costume begins as a subtle texture, but as she increases in power and strength it becomes more elaborate. As Dany grows alongside her dragons, the texture of her dress-tops becomes more embellished, growing down the costume. (Source in the replies)
