Beauty and the Beast teaches us the timeless lesson that if a woman doesn't like you, you should hold her hostage until she does.
So when my ex girlfriend tied me up to the bed (and not for a bdsm session), took the key of the house, locked me inside and gave me the bare minimum of food for me to survive for weeks, just because I told her I wanted to break up...
I see it was not because she was a psycho, it was because she loved me...
Thank you disney for such a good experiences...

I better check before I make any further jokes: did that really happen?

Oh I was just joking, don't worry
Same for me, I just imagine the meetings because my male qunari is twice her size, with huge horns, and has a mercenary background.
And he is the lover of a proper polite noble lady.
Actually when I look at josephine and her yellow dress with my male qunari inquisitor, I cannot stop thinking "that is so beauty and the beast, well minus the stockhom syndrome of belle, but whatever",
You mentioning a Beauty and the Beast looking romance reminded me of this fanart:

Ah thank you, that's such a good art, I was not able to find much image of josephine with a male qunari.
I just initiated the romance between the Inquisitor and Joshiphine and I'm at the part where you have to challenge her fiance to a duel. Is it worth doing or should I not?
Cute smile is cute.
You mentioning a Beauty and the Beast looking romance reminded me of this fanart:
Adaar: I bought you this in Val Royeaux, Lady Montilyet.
Josie: That's very generous, Inquisitor.
Adaar: It would have been a bouquet, but there were... complications.
Josie: I understand, the bazaar can be difficult to shop at for the uninitiated.
Adaar: Oh no, I found the bouquet. I'm afraid this was all that was left unscathed after the attack by... well, complications.
(This is how I roleplay my Josiemance with Adaar... he's polite, thoughtful and a total doom magnet)
Video I did from the Trespasser dlc. Josephine is only part of the video, but figured I'd put it here since Josie is the romance in the video.
From the Twitter thread:
I know it's been said many times over, but I still dislike the ambiguity of whether or not Josephine and the Inquisitor were ever physically intimate. This isn't another "adults can handle sex scenes" rant; I would've loved if Josie told the player she wants to wait until marriage* and/or is asexual or demisexual. Give us a new type of romance arc that we haven't had Bioware! Now I understand the writer's reasoning, to allow players to be able to headcannon their relationship with Ms. Montilyet, just that for a couple of reasons that it doesn't work for me personally:
1. I admit I've become weary of ambiguous storytelling in general; is he good or evil? Is she alive or dead? Did they get back to their proper timeline or not? is it all real or just a dream? Now there's a difference between Unreliable Narrator, where the layers of first person storytelling is the whole point, versus Omniscient Third Person narrative where huge portions of plot and/or character develpement is hidden. I also admit this quirk is not necessarilly an absolute for me, and some of my favourite tales are ambigous. But said ambiguity is a pretty big hurdle for me to get past anymore, so new stories that use it better be good 
.
2. For me, the "did they or didn't they" aspect is just one more symptom of the utter passtivity of Joshephine's romance arc. You can be a jerk, anti-Andrastian, choose Lelianna's plan in Of Somewhat Fallen Fortune, and you can still woo her**. If Josie had told the player that she wants to wait until marriage, it would have been something towards reclaiming her agency.
*I agree you should have been able to marry Josephine in Tresspasser. As well as any of the Love Interests, barring Solas for obvious reasons.
**One more problem of Advisors not having an Approval Meter. Hopefully Bioware will fix this (as well as being able to choose Advisors) in future games.
Just a though but has anyone ever wondered why Josephine does not wear a full skirt as opposed to what she actually wears. Not actually sure how to describe it....a half skirt with bloomers and boots?

Judging from this picture I took of the Trespasser epilogue, it appears to be a layered skirt. With leggings that apparently double as boots.

Her outfit boggles the mind, honestly. If she didn't put on the red Inquisition uniform, I'd wonder if she was even capable of removing it.

I think she actually wears a full skirt, but her outfit is very layered.
The first layer is underclothes and bloomers. Then she puts on the yellow poofy shirt and a blue, layered skirt. She then puts the neck-cloth on.
Then she puts on a long, sleeveless blue coat. Puts a belt/corset over that to hold it in place, so it sits correctly even if she's on the move. Then she covers the belt with a yellow sash (which could probably double as a head cloth if she got stuck in the rain.) Finally she puts on her fancy necklace and she's ready to do word battles with the diplomats .
A crappy paint drawing that doesn't explain anything and just makes you question your life in general:

I suppose it makes sense for Josie to wear clothing with that much layers in Ferelden where its cold but isn't it warm in Antiva which is where she's from. Wouldn't she wear something else to avoid perspiring all day ?

Well if the shirt is made out of silk it probably isn't really going to be that warm even if it's very layered. And the layers under the skirt seem to be made out of light, thin fabric (don't know the name of it) but it's also not that terribly warm either. The coat is probably the most warmth giving outfit of the lot.
She would probably feel decently warm in her office and in the halls of Skyhold, but if she were to go down the mountain into the snow she'd probably get pretty cold, even in all those layers.
In Antiva she could probably wear the shirt and skirt and still feel quite breezy, but I think she'd skip the coat when it's really warm outside or when she was just hanging out with her family.
Note that this is just guess work. I'm not an expert on fabric nor have any idea how you dress in anything hotter that 20°C.
But at the same time I refuse to believe that she hasn't got a gigantic closet back home, filled with all sorts of dresses and outfits, each for different social function.

Yeah, I was thinking about that but from that picture it seems like she has many petticoats? under her skirt and they usually make a skirt/dress bigger and poofy but Josephine's outfit does give the impression in game.

From this picture I have it would seem like there is a layer between the outer skirt and the bloomers though. They this all is probably just the contrast between a drawing and in game.

That is very well thought out and make pretty good sense. That's as good as I could draw so no worries.

The skirt does have the long split down the middle, so maybe it is not a skirt and that whole blue part is one piece?

Maybe that is how people just dress in Antiva, with lots of layers? Back in the day people wore a lot more clothes and layers. In the South back in the day look at the dresses the women wore and all the layers and how hot it is in the southern US. It is more like Orlais look wise, I know but you get the idea.

I'm thinking that she has a long coat over her shirt and skirt. So the split is her coat, not her skirt.
Like so (don't mind the angry face, it was just the best shot I found of her unmodded armor 
)
So the blue outline is of her coat and the pink outline of the skirt beneath the coat.
But I'm probably wrong. Can't load up the game at the moment to check because the computer is having some personal issues.
Also I need to learn how to read before writing.

Yeah, that makes sense. I do not have a PC but how different does a modded version look?

It's just some recolors, but it's nice to have some change once in a while.
They really should have offered a choice between one or two armors for the advisers as well, or have them change once the team reached Skyhold since you can't craft armor for them and they too deserve a change of outfit.

That looks nice, I like the original colors but if I could play on PC with mods I'd probably mix it up. Yeah, I would not have mind if there was a alternative option you could pick from. Probably simpler to not have to come up with multiple outfits for the advisers though.
I'm sure this has been posted before, but... two of my favorite ladies.
