For the first skirt, try Dark red satin, and a cotton blend for the top. The second it would also be satin and cotton mix, that would work.

For Luchia's top, try either nylon or cotton. The skirt should probably be done in silk.

From what I've seen of WITCH and read of it, I'd say some sort of stretch material, nothing with a sheen because the designs are made to be simple and a glimmer would pull away from that idea. Something flat, a cotton blend perhaps.

Luchia's costume could be said the same. I wouldn't use satin, probably silk since it's a lightweight thing and satin is rather 'heavy'.
