In any event, I come to you for help. It seems that my priests' robes are somewhat outdated. We were so enamoured of the idea of reviving the old Priesthood in its entirety, but there have been some comments made about our aged style and I feel we must modernise somewhat if we are ever to gain the support we desperately need. I have heard that you have a keen eye for these sorts of things, so I offer what few funds the Priesthood has in order to commission a new design.
You see, myself and the High Circle agree that our robes need updating. Our priests cannot be traipsing across muddy landscapes in those old-fashioned things, tripping over hems here and being dragged off by the hood there. However! We also require a style that maintains the Priesthood's formality and humility. These are uniforms in a sense; Elysians must be able to recognise us at a glance, even without our Marks. And of course we wish to keep the colours the Priesthood has long held, for their significance and symbolism pertaining to my Lady Xanth, as well as in memory of the priests of old.
So, do you understand my wishes? Of course I will pay for your assistance, though naturally we must keep some back for fabric and such. Still, I will give you what I can.

Your job for this contest is to design a set of robes for the Priesthood. You can choose to design for any of the ranks from acolyte to High Wisdom, or you can submit multiple entries if you'd like a bash at all four. All you have to do is go to a dollmaker (like tektek, the Doll Palace, Arvee, or any that give you permission to use their stuff in this manner) and make up a custom doll of your design, then post the image (with credit) as a reply to this thread.
You can find more information about the current designs here. Remember, the colours need to stay the same but you have room to play with the design itself (as long as it's not, like, jet packs or something xP).
Prizes:
The winner for each rank, chosen by Emma, will receive ζ200. They may also be posted on the Priesthood's page as a visual representation of their uniforms.
Deadline:
