Harvest Dress
The Harvest Dress, also referred to as the "Death Dress", is based on what would possibly be the dress worn in the world that is controlled by the Jabberwock, aligned with death.
Appearance
Dress Symbols
- Lead – ♄ – Ruler of Law; represents matter taking priority over mind & spirit.
- Chaos – ❉ – Disorder; represents the principle becoming disruptive and breaking the laws of order.
Dress
Loosely based on Alice's classic blue dress, the Harvest Dress has a black Alice silhouette with puffed up sleeves, a crew necked bodice with stitching which is tied at the waist with a loose v-shaped sash on which the alchemy symbol for Lead is affixed. She has an a-line skirt shape made from feathery layers of overlapping pointed fabric scraps that finishes off the dress as a whole. On her hands she wears black gloves that extend past her wrists and at her throat the silver Chaos necklace is present. Underneath the dress she wears black tights and platform Gothic style boots, complete with a multitude of straps.
In its ‘Chaos’ mode, Alice's appearance becomes much more malicious and distorted. Alice's face becomes gaunt and deathly pale with sunken-in cheekbones and horrific white eyes. Her mouth is black and oozing. The once matte dress becomes a shiny, slimy black and resembling the ‘Ruin’ from Alice: Madness Returns. The black slime drips from her sleeves and neckline, down to the layered fabric skirt that naturally flows and bleeds onto the floor as she floats about the field. Her gloves transform into nothing but the shiny ooze and crawls up onto her arms. Her limbs have become more skeletal, her waist almost non-existent, earning this dress the nickname: the Death Dress.
Trivia
- The dress would possibly be worn during the final boss fight.
- This dress may also lead forward to the ‘Ruin’ as an enemy in the future of the story. While in the ‘Chaos’ mode, the black slime dripping off the dress could escape and otherwise become its own entity perhaps leading the Ruin in Alice: Madness Returns.
According to what has been discussed before I understood that there were two Alices in this game, Child Alice and Shadow Alice, the latter being the one that goes to AMA and AMR. Based on this I thought the Harvest Dress would be one of the power modes that Shadow Alice can access and that it will be playable at the end of the game, I had the conception that Child Alice wearing the Blue Knight armor and being bestowed with the Vorpal Blade went to fight the Jabberwocky but was utterly defeated, then Shadow Alice, who has been an enemy before, comes and rescues Child Alice but then drags her to a pond in the Dark Side of the Moon or something, at this point the player has to accept that Child Alice is not able to win and has to stop struggling to get out of Shadow Alice's grasp (Any input on the controller would stop the dragging effectively putting both Alices in a state of stagnation) and let Shadow trap Child in the Pond (Later this would be the source of the ruin), after ALL OF THIS, the player would take control of Shadow Alice who's usual dress is the Ash Dress and Harvest comes out when her Chaos/Rage/Patience is filled up. I hope this makes sense. Thank you.
