Papa Movements WIP

Here are some WIP explorations of Papa's movements as a ghost. I am experimenting with his clothes moving independently of the world around him. Like Papa would have a perpetual wind blowing his clothes lightly.

Would he move flamboyantly or stocky/stiff?
Would his legs disappear the faster he goes?
How squashy and squishy is he?
any ideas and more comments welcome

Color for Mindy's dress

I researched all dresses, shirts, and skirts in all shades of pink that are currently in stores to get colors of real fabrics and clothing. The colors range from ivory to an orangish blush.
The square circled and dress pictured is the color Danny chose for Mindy's dress. This is not the fabric type or dress style.
