Okay, it's time for another dress!
Horrible Harfang Dress
The book describes the children wearing bright clothes, and Jill's didn't keep her warm. Plus, the giants clothes were made for humans but were too big for Jill herself. So I'm going to give Jill a flashy outfit that she has somewhat adapted to make fit herself better. The outfit will be a bit gaudy, be we still want Jill to be pretty. In my mind, she stays in this dress when they leave Harfang (remember, they was supposed to be nonchalant), unless they abandon the book-plot of slipping off for a walk somehow so that Jill changes first, then slips off, or if they make Jill change back the next day when her clothes (which obviously fit her better) have been properly washed. Here goes!
The dress should be a bright green (remember, Jill thinks they have human things because LotGK visits, so why not the dress be green?
Sides, that popped into my mind from reading that Jill (or maybe 'twas Eustace) wearing something green at this part of the book. Works either way!). It should be dragging on the floor a bit, almost like a train, but Jill has pulled it up in the front slightly (so as not to trip) and cinched a belt 'round her waist. She also wears a circle clock that covers her from neck to chest, same size round the back (do you know what I mean? I've seen something like this before...). The cloak is bright blue. Her slippers are yellow or pink, either one would be bright. Her hair is in curls (I have decided that, in my mind at least, Jill's hair was curled at Harfang, rather than her having curly hair throughout.
). She wears no jewelery.
Tune in later for the Peace Restored dress (think purple!) and my newest addition, The Healing of Harms Dress!

Peace Restored Dress
This dress needs to be beautiful and glamorous (akin to Susan's Farewell Dress in PC, but more modest
). This needs to be the dress little girls look at and beg mommy to make!
Imagine a soft purple/violet under base w/ gauze overlay in periwinkle, floor length, covering matching slippers (softly beaded, think Galadriel's dresses), w/ a slight train in back. The sleeves are a good bit fuller than the others, and Jill has perhaps a thin sliver crown on her head, beautifully ornate, but lightweight(honorary Queen!). Her hair is curled, down, except perhaps for those lovely "lu and su" braids, and she wears fine jewelry, maybe a matching necklace and ring set w/ dress-matching stone(matching the crown, or kind of complementing it). This dress is flowy and gauzy w/ a collar like Lucy's coronation dress, but higher. Jill needs to look gorgeous and be able to dance in this dress! Think snow dance w/ her in it, maybe!
Healing of Harms Dress
A pale blue, gauzy dress, not quite floor length, maybe to the tops of Jill's shoes, w/ silver slippers and silver accents on the dress, still wearing her crown? W/ Jill's hair either curled or just down. Maybe the dress can have a silky silver underlay and a silky silver tie around the waist over the gauze part. Jill needs to look soft and beautiful. Her eyes should shine with tears, and the dress reflect this w/ it's shimmery, blue and silver-ness. She is a glimmer, a glitter, a tear-drop. But beautiful.
So, what do you all think?
