All events and crown store changes happen at 16:00 CET/10:00 ET. So, in 15min.[Lie] Of course! I don't even worship Daedra!1 -
DreamsUnderStars✭✭✭✭✭Congrats on making a dress that doesn't flatten the hips on all my characters! I love it.1

Kiyakotari✭✭✭✭✭The white section in the middle does not dye at all. The decorative patterns on the skirt and the bust/top that border the metal trim also do not dye. The dye channels are: Main Fabric of Skirt & Top/Metal Trim/Gems
(Yes, the gems dye!)

DreamsUnderStars✭✭✭✭✭The only thing I dislike about it (and it's admittedly a trivial dislike) is that I can't dye the skirt and top separately.1

✭✭✭✭✭It dyes soooooo well, I'm absolutely delighted
Except for that giant white section that's not dyeable.

✭I love the dress except for the bottom is so big and round when you walk. The other altmer dresses stick to the legs more but this ones like a big gaping black maw.4 -
Donari✭✭✭✭I had to fiddle a bit to find a green dye that kept the shimmer, and am slightly sad the underskirt and embroidery won't dye. But I *love* the lack of hip flaps and the overall elegance. It's also about as good as ESO gets at skirt physics -- a far cry from actually having good cloth physics, but at least it flaps instead of deformedly hanging like it is made of metal.
Very happy with this dress even though I now don't have the crowns for the Hearts Day furniture.3 -

✭✭✭✭✭Does anyone know where I can see how this dress moves when walking/running, without having to buy it myself? (And without having to creepily follow someone around a town.)
It's a shame it's only partially dyable, but that's not a deal-breaker on its own. I'd like to see how it moves before I make a decision.Edited by Danikat on February 11, 2021 9:00PMPC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

Still ten times better than when you get weird colours or pale ultra-shininess. And it's at least white, not purple or something (looking at you, stupid dragonguard front flap).4 -

The gems should have been included with the underskirt and embroidery, I think.Araneae6537 wrote: »

It's 1200. The website's Crown Store section displays prices too, btw. Only the showcase article doesn't.How many crowns. I'm stuck at work

Aptonoth✭✭✭✭✭We need more stuff like this for all races but to match their styles. If the women feel left out then get the guys some sexy clothes too. Fanservice for everyone! I want to see the reach barbarian costume with no granny panties that ruin it. Also something like very tight work clothes for Nord women since nords typically don't do dresses and frilly stuff.2

I'd trade the gem dye for a skirt pleat dye.
The gems are tiny and visible only to people who are close by, whereas you can see that white skirt pleat from meters away. Besides, in the real world, you wouldn't dye a gem (you'd replace it with a different gemstone), but you would dye cloth.Nightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU

✭✭I am also very sad that large part of skirt can't be dyed Changing colors of gems is cool, but not worth it in this case.The gems should have been included with the underskirt and embroidery, I think
Perfect solution, if we can't get 4th dye channel!
I bought this costume mostly cause there is nothing else I want this month, and I need some new cosmetics. Permanent white part ruins the color scheme on almost all my characters It's a shame, cause the dress itself looks awesome, and I really love design of waist. It even looks nice on male characters

DreamsUnderStars✭✭✭✭✭Sure it would have been better if the underskirt was dyeable too, but we should all be thankful that it's white, which goes with everything, and not something that would stick out like a sore thumb, such as yellow or orange.4

I'm glad that white works with your character's colour schemes.
But that huge undyable white section is the main thing putting me off getting this outfit and being informed that I should be happy about it even if it doesn't suit my characters doesn't change that.
(The other problem is the animation, not the black bit showing underdeath, although that's annoying, but the fact that it moves like it's two sections clamped to your character's legs and not at all like I know a dress like this should move. Every time I see it it's like a reminder that this is game designers doing the best they could with limited animations and that ruins the immersion for me...which makes buying a costume to dress up my characters to fit in with the world rather pointless.)PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!
