Hornet, like 15 minutes after getting back from the void w/Lace and dropping her off to recover: hey pavo now that's dealt with, can I ask you for some personal advice?
Pavo, tired but very happy That Shit Is Done With: yes, of course, what ails you?
Hornet: How soon after murdering someone's mother is too soon to ask them out?
Pavo: ... ?
Hornet: I suppose I should clarify she helped with the murder. It's not a source of conflict between us. I'm simply unsure if Pharloom has any particular rules or beliefs about this sort of thing? I don't want to be culturally insensitive.

Shakra, who was 100% eavesdropping, yelling from the background: either ask her out right after the victory while still dripping with the blood of your enemies or you have to wait a week!
Hornet, yelling back now: I see! Thank you Shakra!

Surely this has been done, but I had to.

Thinking of First Sinner/ Atla spinning herself a dress right after popping out to fight Hornet, combined with the fact that her name has been almost lost to time, kinda makes me feel that her putting on that dress is a reclamation of identity? I don't know what the implications of that are tho, like the dress feels really significant as silly as that sounds
I think being able to dress yourself up after probably centuries of imprisonment is a way of reclaiming Something, yeah. I suppose maybe it's significant that despite the way she speaks to Hornet she's still willing to engage her as an equal, she just wants her to work for it.
I think it's also noteworthy that Weavers almost always seem to wear a cloak/dress! Widow is the only exception to this, and she's in such a broken state that Hornet doesn't recognize her fully as a Weaver.
But putting Widow aside, even visions and memories of weavers have some sort of covering:
Down in the void they had clothing too! (and also as best I can tell the side shoulder spikes seem to be the biggest thing that differentiates them? From what we see in the First Sinner's cutscene, they seem to be at least somewhat innate, she evolves with them but not her dress. It's possible it was a symbol of what batch of evolution they were from, or possible that some weavers later altered their spine spikes to symbolize being part of a group. Notably the First Sinner's matches the one buried in Moss Home, and all the weavers seen in Herrah's group match each other. Fabric color of their dress/cloak likely matters too, but we can't see that in the memories)
And the one weird unexplained still alive Weaver in Hallownest is clothed too! (she also lacks shoulder spikes all together, matching up with the weavers we see in the red memory!)
A secondary interesting note, the Weavers we see still singing for GMS also all lack shoulder spikes! This is from Widow's memory, and she lacks the shoulder spikes as best I can tell in her current day form. Possibly all of these Weavers belonged to the same group at one point and fragmented in different directions?
This matches up with a Weaver Burial spire in Craw Lake, the one you get thread storm from! One of the abilities we actually see Hornet being able to use in Hollow Knight as a boss, that presumably she forgot how to do after her incredibly severe concussion. Maybe there's some relation/shared clan?
From how often we see weavers clothed in that long flowy fashion, I don't think it'd be a stretch to say it's probably an important part of their culture. Hornet weaving her first garment is a vital part of "proving herself more Weaver than Wrym". It's likely a point of pride/showing off, particularly when we consider how difficult fabric seems to be to access for bugs. Bugs we see wearing lots of fabric or high quality fabric are almost always nobles or involved with the making of cloth somehow (PARTICULARLY intentionally colored fabric, bright/color fabric seems exclusive to nobles or weavers, with only the Pinstresses standing out in silksong).
I would say that First Sinner weaving her own dress isn't even necessarily her just reclaiming part of her identity, I think it's her SPECIFICALLY reclaiming her identity as a Weaver. Weavers are creatures that wear a long dress/cloak. And she is still one of them. Despite being cast out and away as a sinner, she refuses to let that be taken from her.
