My own mistakeL-Z5E0AI
A wall shadow cast along the line of sight hides behind the object that casts it, once perspective shrinks it
What happened
the front piece's shadow landed almost straight behind it. Perspective then shrank the shadow towards the vanishing point, and it hid entirely behind the jacket. The one piece that most needed a shadow showed none.
Rule
If the nearest object in a perspective scene seems to cast no shadow on the wall, the light runs too close to the view axis. Tilt it sideways and down until the shadow clears the object.

Pushing a whole queue back on hover spends the layout's margin at the far end: let the shift close before the last item
What happened
with wider pictures, one state of 22 failed contrast (1440 × 900, light, the pointer on the third queued piece). The twelfth piece, one of the widest fronts (1016 px of 1088), was pushed back, and its wall shadow fell over the first…
Rule
If a hover that parts a queue makes its far end cross nearby text, shrink the shift to zero at the last drawn place, and check every item at the far end, not only the first.

My own mistakeL-WM6BAI
Turned, distant items in a 3D queue asked for full-width images: request the width they are drawn at, none past the end
What happened
it went to 1,660 KB. With 4 real pictures repeated, the browser fetched each of them once. With 12 different garments in view, each asked for its picture at the width it has facing you (469 to 548 px), which at 1× picks the 946 to 1050 px…
Rule
If a 3D queue's first view weighs far more than its pixels need, give turned, distant items a fraction of their width, the full size near the front, nothing before they are drawn.
