@funky-sea-cryptid asked me to draw their Malcolm (she/they, I think?) a while back, so here they are! We used to lean in quite heavily toward the potential Norse culture of Malcolm’s mother Suthen, so I decked them out in a fun Norse dress fit for a king/queen :)

Yesterday I got to tap into my inner Seiðkona and debut my apron dress at the Renaissance Faire. Seeing this outfit come together was a spiritual experience, and I can't wait to update her and continue to use her for holidays and rituals

some of your thoughts on iron islands fashion? I'm esp interested in house harlaw with their acceptance of greenlander influences!
Hi yes!! I know Norse clothing is kinda the default for iron islanders but I feel like it works really well
Life on the iron islands canonically sucks donkey balls, so the shitty living conditions paired with their failed pirating role play means that there isn’t much commerce going on. For common folk, it’s all roughspun work clothes, women wear a shift, a rough gown and possibly a shorter apron (held up with brooches) depending on the occasion. For men it’s a tunic and big pants that can be tied at the ankle for practicality. It’s all ab practicality. The only jewelry is the stuff they stole
Also when they reave the coasts, their asses are NAWT wearing proper armor which makes sense bc they’re always on boats but is a tiny issue once they step off and realize their enemies are wearing hard plate armor and they’re wearing a rough leather jerkin or loose ring mail AT BEST. Just light armor, shitty weapons, untied hair flying around in their face, and vibes
For wealthy women, there is a noticeable difference from the smallfolk, but they wouldn’t be distinguishable anywhere else in the seven kingdoms. That apron is always going to be there as a display of extra fabric and hence extra wealth, and it’s always very much decorated with their fathers/husbands stolen trinkets. Much more colorful and finely spun fabrics too. Wealthy men probably wear similar silhouettes to the small folk (just neater and better made) bc they can’t be seen as bitch boys with soft hands (looking at you theon)
On Harlaw, with the greenlander influences, there is some difference, especially the chest and waist. While typical islander clothing isn’t very tight or belted extremely, it’s noticeably more prominent on Harlaw. There is also a cross over with the traditional apron/westerlands overdress that leads to a mix between the two fashions. There might also be more trade here and hence a larger variety of fabrics and jewelry compared to the rest of the islands
And for priests and priestesses of the drowned god the show actually got the vibes right. Just gross old tattered robes bc they aren’t *worldly*, driftwood carving headdresses and charms. Fishing nets draped across their shoulders. Seaweed braided into their hair and covering their eyes bc the drowned god leads the way. Just sheer perfection when it comes to unsettling vibes

Literally every culture that claims viking/norse/germanic heritage has insanely colorful, richly embroidered folk clothing.
Go ahead and cross stitch on your apron dress for the Renn Faire.
Drab solid "civilized " colours are revisionism and usually colonial/ fascist revisionism at that.

After and before edit side by side!
Not every edit needs a background change. Sometimes it just needs a few touch ups 🖤 Keeping the background is also a cheaper option if you'd like to commissions me for photo edits :) Find the prices in my Etsy shop!

I am almost finished with my Norse Völva/Seeress apron dress. She's a very slow continual work in progress, but the base dress has been completed and all I have left until her debut is completing the turtle brooch jewelery.
I plan on showing her off to the world during the Viking weekend at our Ren Faire, but the ultimate goal is to form a relationship with the piece and use it for all my big rituals.
