I'm making a White Mage robe, but the robe I have doesn't have sleeves. I'm altering some elbowlength silk gloves to bear the red triangle motif, will I still be recognisable or will people just be rude about my cosplay? xxx

Part of cosplaying is playing around with designs, and being creative! No one's about to be rude about it! And chances are, with a costume like that you'll be recognised anyway
