Cosmetics, mostly a women's perspective

My wife plays with me and her biggest problem is in game items often are not pretty. It's also rare that cosmetics are as well. Normally leaning towards trashy. My wife would love to see all manner of famale atire. Summer dresses, Camisoles, Ballroom dresses, Elegant evening wear, right down to the dresses from the 1800's that require corsets. Even the side bits like scarfs, hats etc.
I personally would love to see outfits for things like lumberjacking, cooking, gardening clothes for herbalism. What cosmetices would you like to see?

Scroll right down and you can see the costumes and accessories they've designed already. Gives a good idea of how they want the game to look.
Yeah, some 'Worker Clothes' would be cool. Tavern worker, Maid, Smith, etc.
It doesn't need to be as long, obviously. Also bonus if it 'fades into the ether toward the ends'.
I will give you all of the monies, Intrepid.
You can have it, as long you trip over it while you're running and fighting, and end up stunned for a few seconds each time.
Elves don't trip, they glide or somersault, so I'll take it.

Sure, they're for the wife.
The stranger's eyes lifted to the blood red cloud on the horizon.
'We have to move. It's not safe here.'
Ya i feel with most games that same male and female, its really just male outfits to make it easier on development + a bit generic.
BDO you could feel more of a differences between male and female looks (though i also feel it shouldn't be just skin showing).
Is there any kind of reference you might like to see for style?
So the biggest issue with these outfits are that they are not really medival fantasy. :[
That said, I've seen some gorgeous robes and dresses from the early packs that indicate that IS will have more elegant and graceful outfits. At the very least, I've seen enough to feel confident in that they know how to make them. ... I have a sneaking suspicion that empyrean elves will have some racial outfits that your wife will like, so stay tuned for more concept art from the empyreans! c:
Then they are doing a great job, since they have stated multiple times over the years that it is "high fantasy"
Literally the first line on the wiki. "Ashes of Creation is an upcoming MMORPG set in a world of high fantasy where player’s choices will shape and define the world around them.[3]"
Ah. Pardon, I guess the language barrier is showing. :'] I am well aware of that AoC is a high fantasy game (I guess I lost the wording. English is not my first language, after all). And I was definitely not complaining - quite the opposite! I am generally in love with AoCs designs!
I just meant (in case my comment was unclear) that the outfits op listed felt quite modern, at least in my head, compared to what we have been showed so far. :x I do not recall seeing anything that looked as modern as summer dresses nor evening dresses. I can't even recall seeing any corsetts nor trench coats. I do however recall seeing what I would classify as fantasy ball gowns and some extremely elegant empyrean robes.
Chapó, better said impossible. I also want a game where women's clothing does not sexualize, and even less pornography. This is a serious and immersive game, not a model catwalk.
I could go for this
With that said, I hope this game doesn't follow Final Fantasy XIV's footsteps by sacrificing the established aesthetics in favour of randomly throwing in modern day style clothing.
