But Elayne doesn't have such red hair.
I just read about the dress too, but no way Elayne has such red hair or such height.
The hair color and maybe the height are most likely mistakes. Also from the artist's description at Tor.com it seems that the woman on the left is supposed to be Elayne, since she states: "When you add in the thumbnail-size that ebook covers are often first seen at, I thought it best to focus on a few of the key characters: Elayne, Aviendha, and Nynaeve."
She obviously names the women in the picture from left to right.
The artist also explicitly mentions that she was especially informed on the correct clothing for the women, thus it's unlikely that she would give Elayne and Aviendha a wrong dress.

Yeah,I think you're right.The red hair confused me (though Aviendha also doesn't have red hair) *NM*

Encyclopedia wot also describes Elayne as having a "mass of sunburst curls"

Yet Aviendha is described as having "dark red hair", which clinches her as the woman on the left *NM*

Sareitha is from Krypton, where the sun is red. Hence her confusion. *NM*

I think it may just be artist error, but the hair color for the left woman is too dark to be Elayne.

Instead of dress I think she got hair color wrong
