Thelma Goth
Seamstress
DESCRIPTION
Thelma was commissioned to create this outfit by Efret Farr, who requested a more elaborate version of her usual plain black saree. As she was unfamiliar with the techniques used in making this type of garment, the project required extra research. The resulting ensemble is an elegant and glamorous take on another culture's traditional wear. The blouse covering the upper body is made from raw unstitched Gothic Silk featuring gold gota work. The saree features Gothic Silk in a georgette weave, embellished with a gold foil print depicting vases - a motif symbolizing abundance and prosperity. The border of the saree is likewise decorated with gold and tiny mirrors sewn into the fabric to add reflective sparkle. Finally, small black tassels trail from the embroidered corners of the cloth.
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Gothic Silk special features
- Outfit includes a gold choker necklace designed by Thelma to match the pattern of the blouse, creating a lengthened and unified silhouette
- Blasterproof: As clothing goes, this outfit is very durable against blaster fire, able to withstand even direct hits.
- Sleeps With Vibroblades: The outfit boasts exceptional defense against blows from weapons such as vibroblades and lightsabers.
- Like Water Off a Duck's Back: The fabric has been treated so that it will not retain water (and become heavy) when wet. In addition, it regulates the wearer's body temperature so that they are never too warm or too cold.
- Self-Repairing: The fabric can repair itself over time, though some of the decoration/embellishment may be lost in the process.
- Disrupters, Ion, and Vacuum: The fabric lacks durability against disrupters, EMP/ION, and vacuum.
- Requires Connection to the Force: For the imbued effects to function within it the material needs to be able to feel the Force energies around it. Vong tech, yalisimiri, voidstone, and dampening fields are all counter to what the material can handle.
- Self-Repairing: The process of repairing itself can take hours to days depending on the level of damage sustained.
- Mere Clothing: While the list of resistances may look long and robust, keep in mind that this is not armor and should not be treated as such. It is not designed to protect the person wearing it from harm so much as it is designed to preserve the clothing itself against damage. You could be lying on the floor dying from your wounds, but at least your drip will still be immaculate.
