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 version, multiple copies of the dress can be obtained by gathering the skein and shuttle again. This will only work once, however. Additionally, because Don Calico wove it specifically for her, the dress cannot be received if the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]]'s inventory is full.
