The '''Dancer's costume''' is a recurring set of clothing in the {{DQSeries}} that first appeared in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''. It is a provocative set of clothing that can only be equipped by female characters.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ4}}===
The Dancer's costume has a {{Defence}} bonus of +8 and is part of [[Maya]]'s initial equipment. In the original [[NES]] version, it could be equipped by both Maya and [[Alena]]. However, in remake versions of the game, Alena can no longer equip it, while [[Meena]] gains the ability to do so. It can be purchased for 400 gold in [[Femiscyra]] and sold for 300 gold. One set can also be found in the [[Palais de Léon]] and they can also be dropped by [[Elepus]]es and [[Mimic]]s.
* If [[Torneko]] appraises the dancer's costume, he is shocked at how scandalous the outfit is, stating that it won't offer much protection in battle. He says that the outfit suits both Maya and Meena, but that it probably wouldn't fit him due to his size. Torneko then states that he wouldn't mind buying one himself to wear at home for the right price, then conspicuously denies that he's a crossdresser.

==={{DQ5}}===
The Dancer's costume has a {{Defence}} bonus of +20. It can only be worn by female characters. It can be purchased for 1,300 gold in [[Mostroferrato]] and sold for 975 gold. They can also be dropped by [[Hula ghoul]]s, [[Magic marionette]]s, and [[Suckling ocker]]s.

==={{DQ7}}===

}}In the ''Definitive Edition'' of the game, the Hip-Shaker will be added to Serena's outfits after acquiring the dancer's costume.

==={{DQDai}}===
In the manga and the 1991 anime series, the dancer's costume makes an appearance as one of the many outfits that [[Princess Leona|Leona]] tries on at Bengarna's department store before she eventually settles on a set of [[wayfarer's clothes]]. The design is different from the one seen in ''Dragon Quest IV''. [[Popp]] vetoes the outfit, telling her that it's too flashy for a [[Sage]] to wear. In the 2020 anime series, she tries on the [[Angel leotard]] instead.

==={{DQTreasures}}===
The Dancer's costume is Treasure No. 127 in the Armour category and can be found on [[the Maneland]]. Its base value is 230,000 gold. There is also a crystalline version in the game that is known as the Crystal Dancer's Costume.
