Crown Store Items in Abah's Landing

(Quick Disclaimer: I searched for "costumes Abah's Landing" but didn't find a thread about this. My searching might have been sloppy or I could have included this in a thread about Abah's Landing design praise. I did feel like this could fit more in the Crown Store section, and I didn't see any relatively new threads regarding it, so I went ahead and made this.)
I will admit I an very much a vanity person; I love mounts, pets and costumes a lot, and I love reading the descriptions and see where the costumes/mounts/pets would fit in the world of Tamriel. However, so far only players have been wearing the costumes, with NPCs wearing the NPC clothes one can steal, or a combination of gear. This was fine, but it could make players stand out a little bit. Especially when you realize you might be wearing richer clothes than the Queen of Wayrest, hahah (which could potentially just say that the queen does not want to use tax money on clothes when there is a war going on, which could be good morale for her subjects).
Thus, you can imagine my surprise when Thieves Guild came and I went to explore Abah's Landing. I do not want to flow over this post with the pictures I took, as I literally listened to rock music and took a picture of every mount, pet and NPC wearing a costume I could find. Here is at least two examples of costumes and mounts:
Some of these have already arrived in the Crown Store, a few (namely the white camel and the mid/high Redguard costume) will be coming later on in the future. You will also see Kindlespit Dragon Frogs as critter around the city and outside, along with Sep Adder, which I don't know will be a pet in the future, but should (it also helps that the Echalette came later as well). You also find other variations, like the future Blue Oasis Dragon Frog in cages (and another that looks like the Blue Oasis but really red). They even include dyed versions of costumes! I'm fine with non-dyable costumes, but this addition DOES make me curious if they are thinking about, or even working on, the possibility to dye costumes in the future. It could just as likely just be to give more variations to this world. Which would be too bad, since dyeing (dieing??) is fun, but all right with me.
Also, Elloa made a video a long time ago that showed various new hairstyles that have not been available on character creation yet on Abah's Landing's NPCs, which could also be kind of a preview of what will come when character recustomazation arrives.
All in all, I'm really happy that they did this. When my character wears "Song of the Night", I don't feel that out of place walking through the richer streets of Abah's Landing, and it is fun walking into the Diamond Thumble (sorry if that was the wrong name), displaying clothes I am wearing, keeping myself up to fashion. I also like how they still use the NPC clothes and motif gear to balance it out and not make the citizens of Abah's Landing themselves stand out that much.
I don't keep tabs on PTS, so I have no idea if this continues in Dark Brotherhood. Still, I wanted to let Zenimax know that it is appreciated and I hope it will be continued in the future!
If you have any confirmed information for something I am wrong about or do not know, please share it with me!
