I do understand that. That's why I used the shimmery satin fabric for her gown and drape.
I didn't do the red because I have Pontius Pilate in a burgundy gown with gold braiding, gold sleeves, gold tunic and a gold leaf headband. (Renda, remember that costume I told you I was making a long time ago and only had enough of the burgundy for a gown with no sleeves. You suggested adding the gold for the sleeves and tunic! I found a use for it!
)
Also, the red and purple were usually used by the wealthiest and that was another consideration. (I guess I'm being too technical - lol)
I just think the shorter sleeves are making her look more Roman or Greek and I'm not good, for myself, with that.
But, I will deliver what they want. I know it's not really that big of a deal for anyone but me.
