TOPIC | Baroque/Rococo Inspired Apparel
1 2
As someone who is interested in historical fashion, I would love to see this particular period represented with some Flight Rising apparel. This era of fashion was very colorful, fun, and appealing, so I think that the apparel would be very popular with FR users. French baroque/rococo style (18th century, basically everything "Marie Antoinette" style) was characterized by beautiful pastel colors, over-the-top coats and dresses, and lots of ribbons and lace. In my opinion, the light colors and elegant designs make this era PERFECT for basing Light, Air, or Ice Flight holiday apparel off of. Here are some examples of clothing (note the colors and patterns -- wouldn't it be cool to see that on a dragon?!): [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/d1/5e/bf/d15ebfd5ac17d23d63cd069a17082ea1--rococo-fashion-vintage-fashion.jpg[/img] [img]https://historyofeuropeanfashion.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/mmepompadour.jpg[/img] [img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/Pompadour6.jpg/800px-Pompadour6.jpg[/img] Here are some possible apparel ideas: [LIST] [*]Fancy coats with embroidery and lace. Like [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/75/da/c3/75dac32186a9a1be0fd4bb04b6140de9--rococo-fashion-french-fashion.jpg]this one[/url] or [url=http://68.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5pvl7GNGk1qfrw84o5_500.jpg]this one[/url]. They were in fashion for men, but I'm sure both male and female dragons would look great in them! [*]Tricorn hats (like what George Washington wore). Example: [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/c9/3d/e5/c93de5883d6479a33b4d9b1f3121637d.jpg]An 18th Century Portrait[/url] [*]Hats with bows, flowers, feathers, etc. Like [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ac/33/49/ac33491a63d076f19874e9ba868d0614--marie-antoinette-elisabeth.jpg]this wonderful painter lady's[/url] or the one in [url=http://www.batguano.com/vlbmarose.jpg]this painting of Marie Antoinette[/url]. [*]Headpieces with pearls, feathers, and jewels (I think wigs would look kinda silly on dragons, but imagine the decorations by themselves). [url=https://render.fineartamerica.com/images/rendered/search/print/images-medium-5/portrait-of-marie-antoinette-de-habsbourg-lorraine-french-school.jpg]Here's one of Marie Antoinette's.[/url] And [url=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vAHwETCxfmw/UapgLcSAYtI/AAAAAAAAL7o/dnsiuazsuaE/s1600/m507704_07-537329_p.jpg]another one with more feathers[/url]! [*]Necklaces like [url=http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.226686091.jpg]this[/url] [*]Fans with lace & bows (different than the existing Wing fans!). [url=http://www.carmenyuen.com/blog/blogpics/080826_fan4.jpg]Here is a reference.[/url] [/LIST] Similar existing apparel and why it is [i]not the same[/i] & [i]not as cool[/i]: [LIST] [*]Tunic collection: Cannot pass as an 18th century coat. Wrong cut (especially the sleeves & back), patterns, and colors. [*]Aviator Coat: Same as tunics. Does not look anything like an 18th century coat. [*]Mage's Overcoats: Might be able to pass as an 18th century coat, but all of the colors except white and pink are too dark. Also, no lace (not fancy enough!). [*]Sandwastes Turbans: Not light and feathery enough to pass as a headpiece. [*]Bowman's Hat: Cannot pass as a tricorn. Wrong shape and not fancy enough. [*]Lace Collection: Most of the colors are too dark. The white & pastel lace are passable, I guess, but don't really look like the necklaces I mentioned (see the reference pic above). [/LIST] Baroque/rococo fashion would look great on our dragons, its patterns and designs blending seamlessly with FR's fantasy setting, and FR already has many apparel collections (such as the Dapper Collection and Ancient Egypt themed stuff) that set a precedent for history-inspired outfits. Therefor, I think it would be great to one day have apparel like this!

i really like star wars ok
The bowman's hat is closer to a bycocket than a tricorn. A better comparison for you to have used would be the seaspray cap

Still, I always support more apparel! I might even find a use for the coats (but I personally wouldn't use the dresses)

Woah I didn't know my dragons needed poofy dresses and fans until I saw this. We have literally no apparel like what's on this list so I don't see why not!

I support this, I mean, dude, I wish I could wear that kind of stuff without it being "out of the norm" and if it was comfortable. Absolutely gorgeous. I love that green dress.

I totally support this! We need more dresses and fancier outfits based in the more historical eras in which FR is seemingly based round.

YES, please! Full and total support. There's not enough lace and floof and fancy on FR, and it must be fixed!
