Jo’s Minoan Disguise Dress
A finely woven ankle-length gown in deep ocean blue with geometric bronze embroidery copied from Minoan court robes, its linen weave stiffened by shell-bead seams to hold shape beneath a fitted bronze corset borrowed from Lakis’s wardrobe. The high-necked bodice splits to bare Jo’s arms, revealing the tactical weave of shimmer-thread that shifts color under torchlight. A gilded belt cinches the waist, its clasp engraved with the lost Labyrinth motif—Jo runs her fingers over it when Lakis isn’t watching, searching for flaws in the replica.

Purpose
Infiltration disguise designed to pass Jo as a visiting aristocrat during the palace feast, enabling unauthorized movement through restricted chambers while minimizing suspicion.
Significance
The dress is the pivotal tool in Jo’s ruse to bypass Queen Galleia’s isolation protocols; its quality fluctuations reveal the limits of Peladon’s enforced historical revival, and Lakis’s provision of the corset signals an unspoken alliance that helps shift the power balance at court.
