TIME SENSITIVE FASHION SHOW ALERT
May. 24th, 2008 11:58 amI'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.
