The '''Flowing dress''' (formerly ''water flying clothes'' & ''water robe'') is a powerful robe commonly used by spellcasters in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'']] series. It offers amazing protection against fire and ice attacks. Despite its name, it can be equipped by both male and female characters in most cases.

The '''flowing dress''' is a powerful robe in the {{DQSeries}}, debuting in ''[[Dragon Quest II]]'' as a special piece of equipment. It offers very high protection against fire and ice attacks and is one of the most protective pieces of body armor for spellcasters. Despite its name, it can be equipped by both male and female characters in most cases.
 
==Characteristics==
The appearance of the flowing dress has not changed much over the years. In the majority of its appearances, the robe looks like a traditional Japanese kimono made out of sky blue cloth with the hemline of the robe blending into what appears to be flowing water or mist. It is worn with either a blue or purple sash tied around the waist, along with another cloth sash attached to a pair of golden wristbands or carried around the wearer's wrists. However, in some appearances such as ''Dragon Quest X'', the flowing dress looks closer to a Western-styled robe with a hood and has wave-like decorations around the sleeves and hemline. As footwear is usually part of the "armor" equipment slot barring accessories, it is also typically depicted as being accompanied by a pair of light sandals, yellow or orange (in a way suggestive of leather), secured by straps on the ankle, arch and around the big toe. More recent depictions feature a pair of anklets on the left foot.
 
Although the flowing dress debuted as a unique and special piece of equipment in ''Dragon Quest II'', later games in the series reduced its importance by making it purchasable in armor shops in later sections of the game or by allowing players themselves to craft it on their own. It is still a very protective in its own right, but its status as the most protective robe has been replaced by other pieces of equipment.

The flowing dress has a defense bonus of +35 in the original, and +65 in all other versions. It protects against fire attacks by 50% and damage caused by swamps and magma tiles. It can be worn by all three characters. The robe is obtained by giving the [[Subtle Shuttle]] and [[Celestial Skein]] to [[Don Calico]] in [[Slewse]]. The wizened weaver will not finish his work until the player saves their game and begins again.

*In the original Japanese, the flowing dress is known as the "mizu no hagoromo". "Mizu" simply means "water", while hagoromo are special robes or kimono worn by celestial beings in Japanese mythology, such as angels or "[[Wikipedia:Tennin|tennin]]", heavenly spirits from Buddhist heaven. These robes were made out of materials like magical feathers and had special properties. If a tennin were to find themselves without their [[Wikipedia:Hagoromo_(play)|hagoromo]], they would be unable to return to heaven.

The flowing dress is a powerful robe in the Dragon Quest series, debuting in Dragon Quest II as a special piece of equipment. It offers very high protection against fire and ice attacks and is one of the most protective pieces of body armor for spellcasters. Despite its name, it can be equipped by both male and female characters in most cases.

Characteristics[edit]

The appearance of the flowing dress has not changed much over the years. In the majority of its appearances, the robe looks like a traditional Japanese kimono made out of sky blue cloth with the hemline of the robe blending into what appears to be flowing water or mist. It is worn with either a blue or purple sash tied around the waist, along with another cloth sash attached to a pair of golden wristbands or carried around the wearer's wrists. However, in some appearances such as Dragon Quest X, the flowing dress looks closer to a Western-styled robe with a hood and has wave-like decorations around the sleeves and hemline. As footwear is usually part of the "armor" equipment slot barring accessories, it is also typically depicted as being accompanied by a pair of light sandals, yellow or orange (in a way suggestive of leather), secured by straps on the ankle, arch and around the big toe. More recent depictions feature a pair of anklets on the left foot.

Although the flowing dress debuted as a unique and special piece of equipment in Dragon Quest II, later games in the series reduced its importance by making it purchasable in armor shops in later sections of the game or by allowing players themselves to craft it on their own. It is still a very protective in its own right, but its status as the most protective robe has been replaced by other pieces of equipment.

Etymology[edit]

  • In the original Japanese, the flowing dress is known as the "mizu no hagoromo". "Mizu" simply means "water", while hagoromo are special robes or kimono worn by celestial beings in Japanese mythology, such as angels or "tennin", heavenly spirits from Buddhist heaven. These robes were made out of materials like magical feathers and had special properties. If a tennin were to find themselves without their hagoromo, they would be unable to return to heaven.
