Miriam's shoulder clothing

So now that we've gotten a good look at Miriam's 3D model, its interesting to see that there is a scarf/ribbon on each of her shoulders. It's a little "intricate" (and thus I would expect to be a bit hard for cosplayers) but it does the job of adding flow to Miriam's outfit without obscuring her back. Thinking about it, I do wonder if say a bow with tassels was ever considered for Miriam? Like on the back of her outfit right below her back. Like something similar to the below but with a much larger bow & tassels:





I'm just curious, Mana were the shoulder ribbons the first thing you guys tried that stuck? Where there other outfit permutations that you tired (like perhaps this bow & tassels combo) and if so what were they? Why did the twin shoulder ribbons win? Did you need them to be X long to work and if they were lower they would drag on the ground? Again, I'm just curious is all.

I joined ArtPlay after the ribbon was included on her back. Funny thing is, no one at ArtPlay knew about the extra shoulder clothing until I pointed it out to them. No one seemed to be bothered by it so they made room for Inti Creates to make changes in her design. Unfortunately, I don't know the process behind the shoulder ribbon design.

Although the shoulder clothing can't be taken off, the ribbons are detachable. 

Sounds good, regardless.  I like the shoulder clothing the way it is.

I can only wonder how those ribbons would affect gameplay?  (If not directly affecting stats, or other fun things)

I'm sure it's too early for you to answer that question.
