TIME SENSITIVE FASHION SHOW ALERT

[cyrano]

I'm just now putting together a look for the Firefly LARP tomorrow. Below the cut are three photos--mostly different shirts. I would love your advice.

I have the dragons because, even if there are no asian people on the show, there's still an asian influence. Dong ma?


Advantages: Classic white. Sharp contrast. Light fabric so I sweat less.
Disadvantages: Sheer fabric so the white can go a bit pink.



Advantages: Not white, so unusual and untraditional. Nice rich color.
Disadvantages: It's very warm. The contrast, at least in that light, is not as dramatic as I'd thought.



Advantages: That's got the contrast I like. It's silk so it's nice to pet. Bright warm color.
Disadvantages: Short sleeves. It would probably require me to beg Lynthia or Tamago or somebody to do some quick repair assistance--a button and a tear. Less friendly for a cravat.


So tell me what you think, especially if you're familiar with FireFly and/or my wardrobe. And you've got about 24 hours.

EDIT:
As Aberdeen reminded me, I should mention that my character is a Registered Companion, looking to retire. And also, I mention that I tried the black silk shirt and didn't like the lack of contrast between it and the vest, but am willing to be persuaded.

Thank you for reminding me. Updated with a little character information.

If the blue were long sleeved, I might choose that, then. But I'm sticking with my previous order. (;

I like them all, but with the added character information, the white is best. A Companion wouldn't have as much of the "grittiness" that aberdeen rightly associates with the maroon version. Also, a bit of sheerness isn't so bad for the character type.

I'd tell you to go with the pettable silk, but the short sleeves just don't work as well.
