Ridiculous fashion cravings, part something something
Long, full black skirts with sequins/beading/embroidery. You know, the sort that SOME of us would purchase at the Indian import stores in the University District or Pike Place Market.
In other words, I want back some of the skirts I had in the 90s. Which are shockingly hard to find on eBay/Etsy, and involve using search keywords that are actually slurs, but clueless sellers still use as a description.
I can blame part of this craving on Jupiter Ascending. Funeral sparkle! Black sequin accents on everything! But I suspect some of this craving also comes from discussing upper-class witch fashion in the Harry Potter 'verse with [Bad username or unknown identity: thatyourefuse"]. Dense black-on-black embroidery. Subtle beaded charms sewn into clothing. Yes. I want this.
So! Anyone have suggestions of where else I can look for these skirts?

The short form is: holy crap, it's a Regency Romance Space Opera! This is not about the traditional Hero's Journey! OH MY G-D I LOVE IT.

Beyond the fabulous sparkles, etc, I have to say that I loved the choice Jupiter makes at the end of the movie-- usually when villains threaten the hero's loved ones, movies picture them caving until something manages to save everyone at the last second, because love the most important thing, etc. I thought it was really interesting that they had Jupiter deliberately choose to sacrifice her family (and herself) to save the world.
