five days and five nights

Summary:

Terezi and Rose celebrate Diwali.

Notes:

I was prompted to reinterpret the Seer garb -- described by Andrew through Rose as a 'sun sari' but resembling more of a salwar kameez -- as a sari for our resident lady Seers, with bonus points for incorporation of the greater Indian subcontinent/diaspora culture. I hope you enjoy!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Notes:

Growing up in Asia, Diwali (which I knew as Deepavali) always brought me a sense of wonder as a child, so I immediately latched onto the idea of using a part of the festivities to bracket the centerpiece of the prompt, ie the outfit redesign. This is probably set during Dhanteras. It should be noted that Terezi is definitely just licking the coloured flour off of her hands, and not actually licking the rangoli!

For a more deconstructed view of the outfit designs, for which I attempted to combine elements of the original design with the general sari setup, I present to you this messy reference image. You can also now check out this work on my Tumblr. Happy Ladystuck!
