I now have a messy gathering of half-finished pieces. Don't mind the ribbon on the hat, it's hastily pinned in place.

I basically sketched up a pattern for what I assumed would work for the shawl and tried going with it. The first prototype actually went better than what you see here; I thought I'd try some minor changes and it ended poorly. I also didn't account for how thin the material is (you can see red underneath near the stitching on the borders). The top corners don't meet as closely as I'd like but I think I can fix that by enlarging the neck circumference in the back.

That being said, I'm betting the thinness of the material can only really be noticed up close so I'm considering sticking with it, though that means it'll look bad in photos...I'm running out of the red fabric so I'm hesitant to have to remake it.

All in all I'm decently satisfied with it for my first costume attempt. Just the bottom tier of the shawl and the scarf and I'll be set!
