You might want to take a look at Royloo's stuff over at 3DCommune. He has a shaolin monk's outfit for Michael the shape of which would work for a robe for your character. I do Tibetan Buddism and they are sleeveless with a swap on one shoulder. Look up the Dalai Lama on Google and those picts should show you. Yes, the nun's wear the same things. However, historically, the robes varied, Japanese nuns wore dull kimonos and didn't shave their heads, they cut them into kind of roaring 20's bobs. This is very early. Now, all the monks and nuns seem to wear sleeveless shapeless robes with a drape on one side. In either saffron Yellow or orangeish red, or a combination of the two. White, as you know is a Death color in the East [in some places-- black seems to be the death color in Tibet] Emily
