Yeah!! Once you go RED, you never go.... uhh... OK, I got nuthin'.

Okay, newbie question: should the boots match the burgundy of the inner robes, or the red of the outher robes? Or should you just be glad to find either one?

I'd be really niterested in how those Payless would work, and how they would look after the straps and such are removed. Curious to know what your thoughts are on the color, too.

Can't wait to go to a Payless and say "Yo, I need this in a Ladies size 12, and lemme' try 'em on".

Would any of these work? http://www.glovepassion.com/c=eiN9Xg9Q2j1CIfpgWDbOth5mf/product/3GSS941808/Sophisticated-Elbow-Length-Stretch-Velvet-Gloves-assorted-colors.html (in burgundy) http://www.glovepassion.com/c=eiN9Xg9Q2j1CIfpgWDbOth5mf/product/3GLFE17616/16-Button-Opera-Length-Velvet-Slip-on-Gl...

I'd think you'd want them to be damned close. Makes an argument for finding the prefect gloves first, and then finding the under robe material based on that

Got it. I was gonna' get the robes tailored, anyway.

Glad I saw this post; Rubie's was the first one I saw on Amazon, and I wondered if it was cool. Seems appropriate that the helm would be the first thing acquired!
