Just post what you think would fit! Doesn't have to be accurate, we're just tossing about ideas.

 

Now onto posting pictures: copy the link to your photo, look for the little icon in the posting toolbar that looks like a photo, and paste in your link. Tada!

I was personally wanting to see some stuff that was more accurate. Thanks for explaining how to post pics.

 

Lemme see if I can get it to work:

See, something from your OUAT link would be cool.  Like Snow is wearing in this picture, perhaps with different colouring though, the one Regina is wearing also isn't a bad pants alternative.

Very cute. I think if it were about two inches longer on the bottom hem, it would be perfect. Currently it's an awkward cut off height.

@Cdale091 I like the second and third ones.

 

Hmm...When I try to post certain pics it says I'm not allowed to use that extension in this community? What's the deal?

Haven't figured that out yet. I just reroute through postimage.org.

What do you mean exactly?

 

It's an uploader site. So it takes any picture you've saved or you found online, and bundles it up all nicely for you so that you can post it here.

 

It'll size your picture appropriately and give you a nice short url.

Went perusing

even found a matching mask 

 

I could see this on my mage:

The high-low gown. Still doesn't seem to fit with the era of the game. But I though it still pretty:

interestingly enough the casual wear at skyhold would have been acceptable

[fdgvdddvdfdfbdfb]

You're simply torturing yourselves we won't be getting any of these. I would be overjoyed if modders could just hack a model swap with one of the NPCS. Of course, there's only hope for humans.

I think I like that even less.

[nikitalauncher]

They do have great stuff! There's also quite a lot of fabulous costuming on Game of Thrones. I pull a lot of inspiration from television when I'm on Pinterest amassing references for my own work. Funny thing is, in concept art of Celene's or even Morrigan's dresses, I think they're pretty on point with the looks I'd be hoping for. Those gowns have a bit of that Regina spirit in them! The Inquisitor's outfit, meanwhile, is a little more George Washingon . . .

Oh goodness, no. I would take the current ball suit over Skyhold's casual wear.

 

 

If I were a lady, I'd definitely wear something like this to a ball! ... Heck, I might regardless. 

 

This would be lovely for the Lady Inquisitor as well!

 

do you guys have any examples of something that isn't a dress that you would have also liked, if a uniform-esque thing was required?* (just to get ideas out. i know they said they had trouble animating a dress, presumably because we may have to fight in said outfit.) 

 

I might do some searching on Google in a bit (just checking the forums in a bit of a hurry!), but the best example I can think of is already in game. I've been in love with Josephine's outfit since I first saw it. I'd love to grab something similar out of her closet!

Alright, so I finished a short little comparison for Fereldan comparing it more to the time period of the middle ages. Just to let you know my perspective, I am not a fashion person, but I am a historian. Fashion is connected to history, as it is what people wore. With that said, here is Fereldan.

 

Fereldan

Spoiler

Spoiler

 

Fereldan is a based on anglo-saxon england if william the conquer was pushed out after conquering england. The Landsmeet for instance totally makes me think of the Witenagemot as an example. However in terms of actual fashion and what they dress like Fereldan seems to be more high and late middle ages for the most part then anglo-saxon, and in some cases more later periods. 

 

 

Men's fashion

Spoiler

 

The above is a general idea of what men in Fereldan, at least the nobility tend to wear. Bryce is wearing a doublet of some sort. A doublet, while much more commonly worn in the latter periods of time first came into fashion in the 15th century. When one considers that Orlais is modeled after later years of France when it comes to fashion, then this makes more sense. You can also see the doublet, and some more later period fashion in the second concept art for the male. 

 

Refering to the two concept arts for a moment, you can see in one the tabard for Fereldan. By the 15th century, the tabard became one of the more common ways for knights to identify whom they were. One's coat of arms helped show who you were. 

 

Spoiler

.

For men though, the tunic, with an overgown(kirtle) was the standard dress for the men of wealth, ie nobles. The overgown or robe was actually rather common, so mages in terms of clothing would fit at home here.

 

The picture is of Jean de Vaudetar whom was the chamberlain of france. This helps illustrate the overgown. The king here is wearing an overgown, while Jean is knealing wearing a doublet. Ironically, it looks rather similar to the Skyhold outfit

 

Women's fashion

Spoiler

Now for women, Lets start with the concept arts pieces. The second concept art is much later in design then the middle ages, you can tell by the sleeves. Women in the middle ages rarely had such poofy sleeves. The first concept art is more fitting in with the various styles of the period.  Looking at the noble ladies you can see that Eleanor is basically wearing the second concept art's dress, just less poofy. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

The thing to keep in mind though is that compared to later centuries, the dresses of the middle ages were rather plain.The above images are of monarchs during the coronation. It also shows that there was some decorations, particularly how Philippa of Hainault(1st image) has her coat of arms embroided in her dress. All that said, compared to later centuries, the middle ages were rather plain; this works good in game as a great contrast between Fereldan and Orlais(or so I am hoping)

 

Another thing is that corsets did not exist in the middle ages for women or men(yes men at one time wore them too). Instead women as well as men used belts. In most of the images from the time period, you don't see them, due to it being worn underneath the main gown or robe. Looking at the images of Fereldan noble women though, one can see it being worn around the dress and most dresses in the game have some sort of belt or wrapper on the outside. This is not a universal rule though, as the image below showing the Hennin headdress proves; but for the most part the belt was underneath the dress.

 

Head-dresses

Spoiler

 

 

There is one piece of medieval fashion that we haven't seen really in the dragon age games, and I blame the engine for this. That is headdresses, hats and the like. While we seen helmets, we haven't seen much of the rather varied designs for headdresses. Often a hood or in the case of women some sort of veil style design was common.  One of the more extravagant designs that arrived in the 1400s was the Hennin, see below for image, it was rather popular throughout france, burgandy and england. Though we haven't really got to see any headdresses for either men or women of fereldan besides a hood. Maybe that might change in Inquistion though.

Thank you for such a thorough summary of a historical perspective! Even though Thedas isn't always strictly medieval European, I do think it's been pretty consistently so for the most part. Funnily enough, the anachronistic corsets don't really bother me in the way that the fancy, gold epaulets do. My mind can easily reconcile a lot of the embellishments as so Orleasian, yet the 19th-century infantryman look puts me off for some reason.

yea, I am working on the orlaisian one now. Even ignoring dresses, the look doesn't fit anything of the time period or the concept art of what orlaisians or fereldans wear, at least from what I have seen in the world of thedas. Men just as much as woman wore rather poofy clothing, for the nobles, it was a rather excessive era for both genders. Just look at what these two kings are wearing

 

King Charles the IX of France

King Philip of Spain

Thanks for that herkles. Perhaps you could do Orlais next?

 

Now, this stuff sure ain't accurate, but oh my glob! I love Indian fashion! So colorfuls!!!

I wouldn't mind wearing the uniform if it was a little more tailored for a female instead of just scaled to fit the female model. I don't think it would take much, a few adjustments and accessories like a frilly cravat or something. I think something like what Revolutionary Girl Utena wore,  http://animoose123.d...Utena-394851623 but with full-length leggings and maybe knee boots or thigh boots. I think it would look pretty and feminine but still formal and commanding.

 

In general I don't hold much hope for being able to dress my protagonist in a feminine way in this game. In DAO and DA2 you could do it quite easily if you played as a mage, but even mages this time around from the unmodifiable casual clothes to the armour options, it looks like they'll be stuck in manly attire. Sometimes I feel like the only woman on these forums disappointed by that (I also feel like the only one who actually likes feminine run animations, but that's another issue entirely).
