👑 Historical Inspiration
Under 16th-century Tudor sumptuary laws, it was strictly illegal for commoners to wear velvet, making it a forbidden luxury reserved only for high nobility. Courtiers frequently slashed their outer sleeves to dramatically pull rich velvet linings through the cuts, flaunting their immense wealth to the royal court. Importing hand-woven silk velvet from Italy was so costly that a single yard could exceed half a year's wages for a skilled craftsman. To achieve the deep, iconic crimson velvet worn by royalty, dyers harvested and crushed hundreds of thousands of scale insects for their natural dye.
