Well it's just that I have so many D robes now, and if I want to make one or two more I have to put a few of my least favorite ones aside/away for good.
I totally gave up on Daddy D's first robe, that black velvet was just too hot to wear over pants and I never did get shots of it with his labcoat the way I hoped. Plus the white and gold embroidered pattern on the under sleeves never showed up through the sheer over sleeves the way I'd hoped either, it was sort of a failure.
And the christmas robe for D, I'm so not going there again. I feel it clashed too much even though I used teal instead of true green it just looked weird to me, especially in too shiny satin. I never bothered to line it either.
And the dragon robe is never to be worn again. Every time I wear it I end up having to repair something so I've just given up. It's not hallcosplay worthy and I never enter masquerades so it has to live in my closet.
I find very few uses for his gray velvet duster as well. That was also left unlined simply because velvet is so hot to begin with. There aren't enough winter cons here for that sort of thing.
I think the only D robe I really want to wear right now is the white and green sakura one from the art book, and it's not even finished!
... could you help me decide on a new less bulky robe for Sofu to wear? I'd like to have one hall cosplay robe for each of them. Daddy D's blue and purple satin one isen't too bad. And the sakura one for D will be really nice to walk around in. It's only Sofu who can't fit through doors right now. ^^
