Title: Erulaitalë Gown
Artist Name: Lyra
Prompt: Write a story or create art about the midsummer holiday (Lithe, Gates of Summer, or another midsummer holiday of your choosing).
Description: For the three major Númenorean holidays, it is said that the King and a great concourse of people ascended the holy mountain Meneltarma, "clad in white and garlanded, but silent". This is supposed to be a typical white gown for the purpose of attending the Erulaitalë (praise of Eru Ilúvatar in midsummer) ceremony. Well, technically speaking, my LARP character (for whom I made this thing, really) can't afford to have an extra dress for each of the three holidays, so for her, it's more of a "general Meneltarma gown". But it's got cornflowers on it, so it's clearly meant to be a summer gown.
Rating: General
Warnings: None apply, except perhaps for the bad quality of the pictures
Artist's Notes: I'll try to upload better pictures once I've got my paws on a taylor's dummy, but for now, this is the best I can offer!
