Is it the outfit you have got on in your loft you are trying to enter?  Some of the banned things for this show are, big frilly outfits & wings.  You've got the right idea with the colors though. :)  If you can make a few adjustments, rejoin if you want.

Its not fair on those who do follow the theme to not disqualify those that don't.

Hi, it is very hard to understand what you are tying to say here.  Please be clear if you want people to respond.  :)

Although I don't often enter the Fashion Show (or log onto the Board)... I do actually have one doll entered, so I am going to respond to this.

First...

To register you will meet these prerequisites:
(prerequisites must be visible!)

- 2 items from the Amethyst shop
- Your outfit should contain at least one element of each color.  All shades of green, blue and yellow are allowed.

All shades of yellow are allowed... and gold is a shade of yellow.

Second...
The "shade" of yellow (or gold) that the graphic designer chooses for a particular item is beyond the control of players... as such, players must do the best they can with what is available. How many times has an item been introduced where you said, "Oh, if only it came in fill-in-the-blank" or "I wish it was a bit less (more) green/blue/plum/etc." ???

Third...
The categorization of color is subjective. There are many times I go looking for an item, expecting to find it under "red" but it turns up in "brown"... or vice versa.  Because there is some "crossover" in the color spectrum, there are many instances where an item could go either way.  When assembling my own outfit, I noticed that a great many items I would have called "yellow" were actually classified as "orange"! Does this actually make them orange? Not to my eye... but someone somewhere had to make a "judgment call".

Fourth...
Unless you actually own the item in question (or it is still available in the permanent stores), there is no way to be absolutely certain what "color" an item falls under... and, even then, you may not agree with the designer's determination.

Fifth...
I always refer to the French site when I have questions about what is/is not allowed... as players often post their outfits on the Forum, and their outfits are approved by AADs prior to entry. Most, if not all, of the approved outfits I have seen do include gold accents (clothing, jewelry, or otherwise)... and it is exceedingly difficult to find items that have zero "gold" accents (particularly with jewelry, belts, purses, and feathers; which were very popular in the French fashion show). Whether or not an item includes a "gold" accent is, again, beyond players control... they can only control the items they select, and I think most players try to be conscientious in their choices ^.^

Now, speaking personally, one of my own "yellow" pieces could appear gold"ish"... but not necessarily "gold", as that would most likely be a "metallic" item. But, metallic or not (and there are plenty of gold, metallic jewelry/elements that were approved in France):

All shades of green, blue and yellow are allowed.

Sorry if it sounds like I am taking this personally... but, personal or not, I am trying to supply valid & objective information, explanation, examples, and perspectives.  Also, sorry for the lengthy post... such is my nature (thank goodness I don't post often :P).  For the record, with regards to my own entry:

Personally, I do not vote in Fashion Shows I am participating in, so I have not seen the outfit you are referring to here. I do, however, vote in shows I have not entered (I enjoy looking at the outfits)... and I have seen that banned outfit, or components thereof, on another site.  I would prefer to see more emphasis placed on the continued and consistent use of "ready-made" (expressed as "held-made (including the cabinets)" in this post) dresses, complete outfits, and characters rather than miniscule nuances of color.  If a dress or "complete" outfit has not been altered, accessorized, or customized to make it different from the standard "off-the-rack" look (as bought from the store and, as such, identical to every other person who owns that item)... it is "held-made" (ready-made), as I understand it (which has been confirmed by a mod).

I have no doubt that moderating the Fashion Show is a big job, and off-theme entries do slip in... that is the nature of the shows.  Unfortunately, as frustrating as it is (particularly when off-theme entries win)... it is a well-known problem, and a chance you choose to accept when you decide to enter.  Remember:  There are more players that do try to comply with the themes than don't... that is the silver lining in this cloud ^.^

wow. makes one want to never give a comment opinion.  Lesson learned.
