How does a dust weaving character work.

I imagine someone that uses something like a dress or scarf or another cloth thing. And when they fight the cloth lights up/freezes/powers up and is able to be used as a sword, whip, shield...

As for long range, I can imagine a simple slash trough the air makes a crescent elemental thing that flies and hits the enemy (like Octavia's fire slash. Does that move have a name? It's used so often that it must have a name, supposedly it's called a sword beam).

What would a character like that be like? How popular is it as a way of utilising Dust?

To me it looks like an older way of using Dust. Like some older families still know the secrets. Well, more like know how to best utilise the technique and pass it on to their children... and stuff. I guess anyone can use cloth, but not everyone can be really good at it.

How about a big family of people who specialise in weaving dust in cloth. Like an old, fairly wealthy family, with a rich history and they live in a big mansion and all that. Like a smaller version of what I assume the Schnee family looks like. And since they're both pretty old they know about each other. Like they both see each other at rich people parties and those types of events.

Any constructive criticism, thoughts or ideas? I am open to suggestions.
