Envisioning Wizarding Robes -Thoughts & Links

[elady25]

Thank you for doing all that research I should have been able to do 
myself!!!

These are my favorites, of the patterns I could get readily at my 
local fabric store:

But would it look too elvish?

There's this classic costume patter, which might work for a simple 
school robe:

There's others, but you get the idea.
So, to codify, which of these seem to you all like the witchiest of 
the bunch?  Since we are kind of inventing this culture, or 
interpreting it anyway, as a fandom, we have a lot of freedom, and 
that's part of the fun.  But as such, I would like to know what my 
fellow fans think.
