What you are looking at is the stylistic choices meant to convey that there are many different cultures with different values. Think of it as attempting to create a cohesive fashion book by taking one outfit from each designer at New York Fashion Week.

That cape looks EPIC when the wind catches it!

[dorota]

By a totall accident you went very close to the Dune costume design in the "Children of Dune" miniseries. And I love it!

[stephanemami]

It’s great to create something inspired by a film instead of just doing a copy of one of the looks. Nice work

[Lunareon]

It's so different from your previous works, but still in your style. Very epic and inspiring!

Thank you so much for sharing this process with us... all of it, the struggle is real lol... this came out beautiful!! Well done!!

[sarahheri]

omg bella i am so here for this

sitting in front of a piece of fabric, or a blank paper, or a skein of yarn, and not being sure how to go at it is one of the most dreaded and most real things i can think of!

the overall look turned out SO cool, it's really something i could see someone wear on a red carpet - i'll be honest, though, as a personal preference, a dress-skirt would have been more my own style LOL (so don't take this as criticism, it's just a personal preference :) i still loved the look!)

[Siansonea]

I think it came out well. I would love to see it with long sleeves and a high neck, like a still suit, it almost looks like a stillsuit for a Bene Geserit, which is cool.

[amberhuls]

I always appreciate how you interpret the style of the characters you reference to make your RCF (“Red Carpet Fashion”). I know you struggled with this one but I very much enjoyed the organic results of it. I’d like to see you flash it out and wear it to the San Diego Comic-Con next year!

[nickiecarlson]

Probably the coolest photo shoot ever! So much drama with the wind, sand, and cape!

[ChuckSmallvilleLOTR]

I think you did a great job! Wow, the final location is stunning

[LeeLee]

I think this is my favorite outfit I have seen created for this movie!! Great job!! ❤❤❤

[bunhelsingslegacy]

The bodice came out really nifty, almost made me think wood grain but holy cats, those pants! I love that idea of pleating them first! Now I might have to play with something like that! Probably shorter pleats than yours though, as I'm kinda hip-deficient and what happens under where pleats are released can sometimes fake it.

[embronyx]

this turned out so amazing! Im obsessed with dune and the costumes are so unique imo, I totally think your interpretation did them justice!!

[juliejay]

More please! This was so much fun to watch!

[emilywelsh]

This was so fun to watch! I loved the 16th century inspiration. Great job Bella!!

[BluestormsSong]

The cording on your bodice instantly reminded me of sand dunes and samdstone. This definitely looks like something an Imperial designer would make as part of a collection.

[cynthiadugan]

Sand dunes. Ah so many memories 😉 I grew up a short distance from the little Sahara and spent some quality time there😂. Also lived near the great sand dunes in Alamosa Colorado for a while and that one is much larger than the one in Waynoka. You made me miss playing in the sand🤣

[secretfox]

That turned out so amazing. I love the choice to make it pants. It would have been hard to maneuver a skirt in all that wind.

[RealRoyalPain]

The Dune other characters costume designs you are referring to and show photos of appear to me to be very Moorish inspired in style.
