Thread: Items tailors rarely make and customers rarely buy (and why) Please add to the list.
Dress slacks!
Whenever people order these, I alwaysrecommend comfortable slacks instead. Why? Dress slacks don't really work with formal shoes.
It's silly that formal pants reveal your ankles when they're worn with the shoes that they're supposed to complement. The comfortable slacks and striped slacks don't share this problem.
Intricate Dress
I think this is one of the nicest dresses in the game, but I rarely see any women wearing them.
Very classy outfit.
LOL - yes, the crested vest just looks wrong! Also the short skirt - gah.
My addition: the two toned formal skirt (screams big butt all over).
Any of the short skirts except the short wrap (which by the way males can wear and I've sold a few as non-Wook kilts). They all, except the wrap, make your hips huge.
Pretty much any belt. I sell a few small pockets, but beyond that it's basically whichever one is on the outfit display is what they want because they don't even really look at them. Most of the time they end up exchanged or in their packs anyway because they don't scale.
Crested Necklace - the bottom two sections disappear into your chest - I don't even display it anymore.
Shoes (vs boots) - I've had maybe 2 guys ask for shoes over boots. Women buy dress slippers, but never women's shoes. I've had the same 2 pairs of sandals listed and relisted on my vendor forever, yet need to replace dress slippers every day.
Decorative and Longsleeve Dresses - I change out the colors on these in my display the most, and always the reaction is either "eww" or just plain ignoring them. People either want sexy or elegant, and I've yet to receive a request for frumpy.
Any short skirt. Why? Because short skirts accentuate the way the female figures in fact, stand and move like men. It's so painfully obvious that you're standing with your knees and ankles apart when wearing a short skirt.
Crested vest: ugh, what were they thinking?
crested vest..just aweful
mangie vest even worse
i love the dress robe but hardly ever sell any
Camo Naritus
As I wanted to be a field wear specialist, I decided to stock all pieces of field wear... even the bits I thought were ugly or people wouldn't buy. Belts were one of the surprises. I don't like them, but evidently my customers do. They don't fly off the shelves, but they're a steady seller.
