Naturally, in a world where you are free to be yourself and express that in any way you want, you'll find many people express themselves through clothing, wearing intricate dresses, formal suits, bright t-shirts, they are all a common sight. In the
Shattered Skies , dolarites all wear very similar clothing, woven from the silk of fairy moths.
Silver gowns are constructed of silver silk, which is extremely valuable. When woven with the looms, it becomes almost unbreakable as the strength of the silk combined with the structure creates a strong fabric. This means that new gowns are almost never needed, all they need to do is wash their clothes, and while they are being washed, dolarites have a plain white gown they wear.
The gowns are decorated with small white crystals, harvested from glassbead snails. Dolarites customise their gowns based on their own preference, and often they dye silk a light blue colour to add more variety, as the two colours compliment each other very well. They were also designed to suit the flower crowns that every citizen adorns.
Along everyone's sleeves is a strip of white fabric. This strip is used to display all the trophies that dolarites have recieved, be it winning competitions, supporting charities, a whole host of interesting badges and trophies can be obtained which are shown off on the arm strip. If you're lucky, you may get a discount at shops for having many badges!
Clothing has no gender, so these gowns are worn by every dolarite.
These outfits can vary a lot, through the flower patterns, amount of white and blue silk. It depends on who is wearing it, this example is a very simple silver gown.
Nice article. I like the idea of showing off badges and getting the discounts because of it :p In that regard I don't fully understand what you mean with this sentence ' and trophies can be one which are shown off there.' should the one be won? Also I am curious about the silversilk. You say that they gain it from fairy moths but why is it called silversilk? Is it because of the color? In all good read.

Thank you for liking and commenting, I'm very glad you liked the article! I tried altering the sentence to try and make more sense. Regarding the silver silk, it is named after the colour of the silk :)
