Pick-a-poodle

I am making 3 poodle skirts. Two are for my daughters, one is for my friend's daughter/daughter's friend. My youngest and the friend both wanted pink skirts. My youngest was quite specific: she wanted a black poodle with a black sequin leash:



So I need to decide on a combo for the friend. For reference, my older daughter has a turquoise skirt with a pink poodle and opalescent pink leash. I have 3 options for the friend. The first is to duplicate exactly what my youngest has. The merit is that it's high contrast and easily visible. The downside is that variation is fun.

The second option is to change the leash to matte silver:



The upside - the matte silver is seriously cool in person (doesn't photograph accurately). It looks very good with the matte silver embroidery around the applique. It's still pretty high contrast and easily visible from a distance. The downside is that at first glance it doesn't seem noticeably different than DD2's version.

The third option is to change the leash to matte silver and the poodle to white:



The upside - very obviously different than the others. There would be 3 different colors of poodle for each of the 3 girls. The girl's complexion is very fair and really is at her best advantage when wearing light colors. See above about how cool the matte silver looks in person. Downside - much lower contrast. (Still obviously a poodle skirt.)

I am planning to make crinolines for the girls. I am hoping that by making the skirts stand away from the body a bit the details of the sequins and appliques will be more visible. But I won't know until it's all complete.

Anyway, if you have an opinion about which combo I should do for my friend's daughter please post in the comments.
