Isn't it chilly up there this time of year? Is she not to wear any kind of
outerwear? Just wondering.
There is something striking about the plainness...by which I mean the lack
of applied decoration and components like a stomacher or open robe with a
petticoat showing...about the design of the dress. I think outdoors in the
cool
air it will be quite fetching in a shade of red as striking as the un-fussy
design. Not a bright fire engine red, but a ruby or dark crimson would be rich
and beautiful. Perhaps you can show her swatches of available fabrics [only
show her things you'd want to use!] Maybe even a Jacquard if a solid silk is
just too much. The shimmering pattern all in red could look amazing. Even in
two colors with red prominent could be suggested. Remember YOU are the
designer, and "know better". She should trust you....at least as much as you
should
please her.
