Tailoress (Patreon)

I left the clothes descriptions as placeholders because I am awful at describing clothes and even worse at imagining them.

I also needed to do some research about 12th-century fashion. What came up was really interesting, but since this is a game — a fantasy game, no less — I don't want to hold myself to strict standards regarding clothes, armor, hairstyles, and weapons.

This post will focus on the options for a female Romanus. I'll make a separate post about the male wear.

I've decided to only offer two possible dresses for you to wear at the ball. This is because I want the style you pick to actually matter and for characters to react to each style in different ways. Maybe one makes you more respected amongst the 'proper' nobles, while the other makes it easy to seduce or entice some poor fool out of a key or information.

I know that if I offer more than two choices, I'll be overwhelmed. So, the choice will be between a more "risky" dress and a more conservative one. For the conservative, I researched the actual styles worn in the 12th century, which is more historically accurate (I love the looping belt around the waist).

For the risky dress, I compiled dresses with a more lax, fantasy style — mostly using Game of Thrones because the wardrobe of that show was insane. 😋

The Conservative styles can be as such:

And the fantasy styles can be:
