I agree with Ihaveavoice.  We are not talking about used panties.

I think it more likely would have been a petticoat which were worn from the 14th century until well into the 20th.  Something lacey or embroidered to give the wedding dress more volume.  Something that would be pretty rather than nasty.

If it were my wedding, I'd have Pintsize as a flowerboy.  The position allows for a bit of mischief without having the capacity to f*** things up.

I feel like Dora would be very, very interested in owning a pair of Veronica's panties. 

Maybe it'll be her gift to the lucky couple!

It  —no pun intended— suits here.

Beeps also looks quite cute in their outfit.

Oh, Pintsize won't fuck things up.

Everything will go to heck exactly as he planned it...

Roko did not waste any time getting rid of that tie!  Those Devices Of The Devil are just as prone to getting caught in things as The Dreaded Cape :{

There is a reason why security guards who have to wear one use clip-ons.  I'm certainly not going to wear one ever again.  I'm not even comfortable with a shirt collar fully buttoned (I REALLY hate the feeling of anything touching the front of my neck, no matter how lightly).  No way in hell am I going to wear a leash.

My father calls neckties 'corporate nooses'.

I don't like things touching the front on my neck either. You'll never catch me in a cowl neck, and I'll only wear a scarf if it's really fricken cold.

I have a very vague recollection of reading something about neckties actually being nooses back in Ye Olde Days. If the King (or whatever) decided you were being untruthful, you'd be hung by your neckwear. It occurs to me that I read a lot of strange stuff when I was young and hiding in a library.

I have a vague recollection of them being an evolution of the cravat. Confirmed. And apparently bow ties are also.

Fun fact - the Polish word for necktie is actually "krawat" (pronounced pretty much the same as "cravat"). And I think the connection is preserved in some other languages, too (French, I think, for one).

And IIRC is - or at least was - derived from hrvat, meaning "Croat", after the neckwear of Croatian soldiers.

That was only a thing in the original film, and was not David Lynch's decision, but one of the screenwriters. (not that Frank Herbert didn't have enough fucked-up things in his novels). The fact that _Salvador Dali_ of all people had the less disturbing ideas in the original screenplay should tell you something.
