She's been sitting on her little shelf for a long time

I do not think they are restocking her (I hope they do just so I can have a twin for her)

I saw this line in Youtube comments about a Cinderella video:

In the Charles Perrault version, for the ball, the older stepsister wore a red velvet gown with French trimming, while the younger stepsister wore her usual gown along with a diamond necklace and a cloak embroidered with gold flowers, and while they cannot compare with Cinderella in beauty, they were still beautiful young women in their own respective rights.

And it made me wonder "Wait, really? Their outfits are described? I don't remember Perrault describing their outfits". I checked and these descriptions are actually there - but given by the stepsisters themselves, not by the narrator.

If you are interested in these details, the oldest of the two stepsisters says she will wear, indeed, a red velvet gown, as well as "garniture d'Angleterre". Now a literal translation might result in you reading "English topping/garnish/filling", which of course does not make much sense. In truth, "garniture" was an old saying to designate lace in this time - so this is "British lace".

The youngest of the two stepsisters does wear a "cloak embroidered with gold flowers" - though the actual word used is "manteau", which isn't truly a "cloak". It is actually a coat, so that's a coat "with gold flowers". As for the diamond jewel, it isn't actually a necklace. In the text it is written "barrière de diamants", a "barrier of diamonds" - and we are not exactly sure what a "barrier" was at the time, but my annotated text goes with the theory that it was a "barrette", aka a hairclip. (Which is why I doubt "manteau" means "cloak" because why wear a hairclip if you hide your head under a hood?). They are also precised to wear "mouches" (literaly, "flies", they were those fake beauty marks you put on your face at certain given places to mean different things) and "cornettes à deux ranks", "two-rank cornettes". Now, "cornette" can actually mean two things. Most people take the general sense, which was used by most authors (including d'Aulnoy), "any kind of female heawear" though at the time the fairytales were written, it was noted the term specialized itself in the meaning of "pieces of cloth women wear on their head at night, when in their undergarments". However other commentators have pointed out that this likely isn't what Perrault meant since, in his "Parallel of the Moderns and the Ancients", he talked about the "cornette à deux rangs" as a type of hairdo typical of modern day women. He evoked it as an elegant and beautiful high hairdo, opposed it to the flat "coiffure à la raie", and the boyish greasy haircuts of the previous generations.

As for Cinderella herself, beyond her glass slippers, we only are given for description a "dress made with cloth of gold and cloth of silver, and all shining with precious stones".

I have new designs available for custom order! 🌸🌱🩵 I kinda fell down the fairycore rabbit hole. I actually started these designs last Spring, but I was so back logged with custom cardigan and set orders that I didn’t have time to finish these up, photograph and edit them, and then make time to take on new orders. But I’m slowly getting out the last of my custom sets and cardigans, so now I have time to work on some new designs! I have a new bag design coming soon too! Be sure to follow on instagram (smalltowncoven) for all the seek peeks 💖

A drawing of concept art for my mocking movie script thing… I have a few of these as they are simply practice and nothing is intended to come from it.

So this is prince raven from the Jack and the Beanstalk, script. (A mix of Jack and the Beanstalk and Jack the Giant killer fairy tail)

I am still deciding her colors. But here she is with her regular hunting outfit. But on the left there is raven in her night gown.

Jack is the character up top. He is always getting into trouble.
