After a lot of fiddling about, I've come up with another design that I think I'm happier with- having taken the feedback from the prior design.

The green is gone, as I am having trouble balancing the design without it ending up GREEN or just 'blah'.



I've simplified the darker field, and gone with a richer, more coppery colour. The blue is fairly close to what I want as well.

Below is a variant incorporating an additional vanilla stripe through the blue field, but I don't think that I like this one as much as the above.



Any thoughts from the rabble? I still really like the idea of the lighter, more simple blue field being 'hidden' inside the pleat, either as a box or knife pleat which would give a very dynamic 'reveal' as the pleats swish.
