Kevin VanNatter Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Loras tells Sansa that he's always dreamed of a big wedding and that his bride would wear a beautiful gown with French sleeves. I'm just wondering where French sleeves are imported from in Westeros since there is no such thing as France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrosir Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I'm pretty sure he said "Fringed", not French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebevan91 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 It says fringed on the subtitles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hour of the Wolf Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I totally heard french sleaves when I watched this for the first time and got so annoyed that the writters could be so out of touch with the domain they are working within. It really gives me relief that they might have wrote fringed instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Selig Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Bryan Cogman explained when asked that it was "fringed", he also added "Give us some credit, people" IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin VanNatter Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Still, the fact that enough people noticed to ask the question makes me feel a little better. I wasn't trying to "catch" them on it... I just thought it was interesting. Although in retrospect, it isn't interesting at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aFeastForDragons Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Not sure whats worse: That it sounds really like French or that people kicked up a huge fuss over it. I'm surprised nobody caught it in the editing stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks Among Us Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I thought it said French too, glad to read this and see it was fringed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Thomason Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 So, to answer the OP's question, I assume Loras could procure fringed sleeves from any reputable tailor in King's Landing or Highgarden. In fact, via Google (behind all the "Did he really say French sleeves" pages), I learn that fringed sleeves are just sleeves that are cut ("fringed") in a simple pattern. Loras or his family probably has a servant on hand who could do that work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Monkey Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I was more bothered by the scene where Cersei is clearly checking her cell phone during a small council meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
