The princess's robe is a recurring garment in the Dragon Quest series that first appeared in Dragon Quest V. This regal gown for women was designed to protect against breath damage in its debut, but has since shifted focus to magical resistance. In later games, the robe also gave a boost to the wearer's spellcasting abilities, as well.
