Yet another casual clothing Costume, yet another cosmetic being dragged upon the ground by would be adventurers.

The Tavern Maid dress has so much potential in it to be more than just a situational attire. I LOVE it's simplicity, its low cut shoulders, and that really pretty choker pendant. But then below the waist it follows in the design pattern of every other dress in this game. It falls to the ground doing it's best to trip up it's wearer and get dirtied in the muck and slime we adventure through. If you've seen any number of films where the adventurous heroine is forced to don a high society dress only to rip the bottom off to give her legs more freedom of mobility, you'll understand why I took a pic of the Costume into a photo editor.

Before:

And what I hope for with every new dress:

    It would be really neat if Costumes had variants you could choose from, to make them more customizable for preference and uniqueness per player.

    How many other dresses would be good with higher cut versions? Ones that stuck out to me were the Priestess of Mara recently.

    There are short dresses already, and more will come with the addition of Khajiit racial costumes that you can already see on some NPCs! That said, I prefer the barmaid dress to look like a barmaid, not like... a lady of the night or something :tongue:

    My point wasnt to make it sexy, it was to make it look more practical and to remove the ugly side effect of what happens when a character wearing a full length robe/dress, runs/mounts. How am i the only person that notices this?

    I mean, robes are common in Tamriel among traveling mages and the such. Another point is it's a game and yes, a tavern maid's dress wouldn't be practical outside of a tavern. It's not meant to be practical.

    Why do people always say if they don't like something about a mmo: "Go back to WoW"

    How does one go back, if one has never been there before.

    That said... i really do like the Tavern maiden dress. It actually looks like one if i would google it.

    But yeah, more skin is welcome. I can't go back to WoW either but maybe Age of Conan for bewbs. But i wouldn't mind seeing some extra cleavage and legs also. Bunch of prudes.

    That isn't even slutty by 1950s standards. You know back when polite people didn't dare mutter the word hell in public.

    Thats not far fetched either. Theyve done it with that Nord dockworker costume. The only difference between those are the sleeves.

    Dockworker? Do you mean Rawhide-Laced Riften Jerkin and Solitude Stevedore's Jerkin?

    Anyway I'd love a variant like that on that dress. Or maybe a proper maid costume so we could finally live out our fantasies about a certain lusty Argonian. ;)

    Oh yeah, i didnt know what a stevedore is but i remembered the description said it was worn by the workers at the Solitude docks.

    your point here is the reason I won't buy any costume that is a full length dress.....

    I like your edit of the dress - I'd buy that one

    I always wanted a costume i could wear permanently that looked immersive but always came up short for what i was looking for. If the bottom half of the tavern maid dress wasn't there, this would literally be that costume. sigh

    I hope they release at least one good one with Elsweyr.

    Back when I played WoW, they had stopped making 'revealing' armor by Wrath or Cata. No idea if they went back the other way since.

    I know that they came up with a transmog/outfit system since then, so people who liked that stuff could still use the ancient armor models.

    But it's been a looooong time since I saw someone hold up WoW as the example of "slutty" (/eyeroll) armor. Usually it's TERA. Or just Eastern MMOs in general.
