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 elemental resistance in general. In later games, the robe also gave a boost to the wearer's spellcasting abilities, as well.

The recipe book Classy Clobber for Kingly Kids contains the recipe for the princess's robe. It can be found in an underground chamber in the Zwaardsrust Region behind a red locked door that requires the Magic key.

Dragon Quest of the Stars[edit]

The princess's robe is a 5★ piece of armour. In this game, it is divided into a torso piece and a leg piece much like other pieces of armour.

Dragon Quest Tact[edit]

The Princess's robe is a S-rank piece of armour that first appeared during the Dragon Quest V event that could be received as a reward for defeating Bjørn in a Mega Boss Battle or purchasable from the Event Swap Shop. It has a DEF bonus of +10, a max MP bonus of +14, increases the wearer's paralysis resistance by 10%, and has three slots for Alchemy Effects. The robe can only be equipped by Attack and Magic units. The potential Alchemy Effects include further boosting the paralysis resistance, increasing resistance against Zam-type attacks and spells, and boosting the wearer's DEF, WIS, or AGL.
