Yes, the hail was pretty weird. o_o; I'd never seen hail before but this must have gone on for 20-30 minutes and it was coming down so hard at points that my father was wondering if the windshield would crack!
Yeah, I've seen another red and black version of the 19th Century outfit but that's probably a more common color combination in general. What struck me about finding that other version was that it matched my colors in the smaller details, too, like the purple sash with green stone brooch and gold beads. As if they'd seen my version and assumed my colors were supposed to be an official color scheme. o_o
It's true that D has a lot of lighter, more colorful outfits but I suppose more gothic would be okay. He does have some dark robes like from the cover of volume 1 and there are moments when he seems more sinister.
You should definitely get more pictures of Sofu's robe. I'm a little surprised you're thinking of retiring it already. I tend to hate saying that a costume is retired if I put a lot of work into it. Even after all these years cosplaying I've only officially retired a few of my simpler costumes. ^_^;
