It's possible he didn't scroll down in your imgur account and see the other photos.

I don't usually post in ROTS, however as the CRL suggests crimson in colour, I'd say that's the one you're going for. What you took a picture of isn't crushed velvet, so should be fine (as CRL allows velvet/velveteen).

Of course, feel free to wait for one of the other guys to chime in :)

Sorry didnt scroll down.
I would say the first burgundy cotton for the inner and the crimson velvet are fine.

So I found these in the tutorials section and I would love to use them... But it doesn't appear that they've been approved or not approved for use. What do you guys think?

These patterns have not been approved.

Personal opinion (ie: not saying approvable or not), the construction of these patterns does not match the on screen references that have been available and use far too many seams, especially on the "front panels" where there should NEVER be a seam.

So the size of the boots I most recently posted about don't come in my size. So I'm wondering if these would be alright instead? It does say rounded toe but they look pointy to me.

Also the zipper is along the side as seen in the black suede version pictures. Does the zipper have to be hidden?

If I were to go with the optional black boots, are those supposed to be suede or leather? The CRL isn't clear on that.

Those will be fine. The zipper should be on the inner side of the foot and the boot needs to be nil of extra detail.
