Last night I got the 3rd color box. I was so excited because the 1st and second box I got some great colors. Bleh is my only word for the Fusia pink that I got.

I also got merchant and I had enough XP to get the first box for picking the NPC you want. No matter how many times I tried all Zabrak females and human females were A) Bald and B) Had a gut. Then i tried guys. Same thing. Finally I settled on a shockingly tall/fat wookie whom rather amuses me, as well as a decent looking Twi'lek female with dark tan skin and florecent green tatoo's. I stuck with her because she had a nice green trim lined top with decent thin stripped pants and she was failry skinny (to skinny for my taste).

If your on Tarquinas you should come by and see my fat wookie he's pretty cute.

I am also excited cause I can make Lekku Wraps now. What the heck pants do you put with a sport wrap so that stupid flap doesnt show??

I love to put sports wrap with vests.. There are quite a few that look really nice together.. Right now I'm wearing a Dark Blue sports wrap, Dk Blue infiltrator leggings, black mangy vest, and black sturdy boots..

Also my alternate character (for when I need a break from tailoring) is on Tarquinas.. She is in desparate need of wardrobe improvements.. Where is your shop located?? I'll come check out your fat wookiee vendor and fill my inventory with new clothes.. .. I'm feeling dirty sporting the revealing top I found on the bazaar for 200 credits..

Hi hon. Even at master merchant the vendors come out bald. I like to pair the sports wraps with infilitrator leggings and throw a belt on it. Looks rather shiek (spelling?). Congrats on all your accomplishments!!

Hehe! Well I am south of bestine in the SE player town. I am a loser and don't know my WP but if you email or msg me in game i will send it to you.

I am on most nights from 6pm-11:30pm eastern time. If you wont be on those times give me an order and I will put it in the vendor for you. I am almost master I need colors IV and fancy cloths IV which i may get tonight if I try really hard.

There are just some races and genders that "don't work" for me in my experience. Human is one of them. I got to hiring 4 this last week and placed two attractive female twi'leks, and a couple of other males of races I don't recall. They all look great (none have hair, but then again most races don't have hair, so it's cool). The funnest thing though was dressing them (which you can do at hiring 4). No excuse for a tailor not to have great looking vendors

Oh, btw, congrats on what sounds like casual 4 and tailoring 3. You don't like the tailoring 3 colors? strange, I found that to be a really great color level, and really the first time I felt like I had a more-or-less full compliment of colors.

Casual 4 was awesome for me too. Sales increased big-time, with pantaloons, the twi'lek headpieces, and the vests all selling really well. I've always had trouble selling sports wraps though. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I have had this converation with a dancer:

dancer: I need some new clothes, something sexy

me (with only casual 4): I can do a variety of bustiers, skirts, a sports wrap, and some nice matching shoes

dancer: I'll take a sports wrap (probably invisioning the master-level flesh wrap)

(I make the sports wrap)

dancer: oh, is THAT what a sports wrap is? can I try a bustier instead?

After a while it got so that whenever anyone asked for a sports wrap I'd make one, and also a bustier with the same colorings, then hand them both at the same timeand let them try them on. I'd say 5 times out of 10 they keep the bustier and hand the sports wrap back, 4 times out of 10 they keep both, and very rarely someone will actually choose the sports wrap over the bustier (can't recall it ever happening in fact).

Another oddity with sports wraps is that they seem to be really freqent NPC drops (or at least they used to). When I'd go check the bazars, even in small towns with hardly any tailors, there would inevitably be 3 or 4 sports wraps for sale in fairly ugly colors for like 50cr and like 750/1000 condition (i.e. a NPC drop) and of course nobody touching them. This obviously makes it real tough to sell any of yours, even with decent colorings alongside those.

Doesn't help that they are newbie clothes for some characters either.. (I think female marksman)... But, actually in my area on my server, sports wraps are becomming the current rage...

Oh.. btw mangy vests make that lil flap disappear when paired with the sports wrap, fwiw..

Well after last night I really feel like I need to have as many items in my house as posible to view. I mat even group the weird thing that have weird colors so as i explain that no you can't get that in the bright blue, thy understand why. Llike the vest. Everyone wants it in black. THAT IS BLACK i tell them and they have a hard time beliveing it!

I like the sports wrap with the hotpants. it makes the outfit look like a leotard when done in the same color with a pair of legwarmers it would be supreme (some boots can give this illusion)

Heh, I picked up hiring IV yesterday and I think I spent a couple hours dressing my 6 vendors. You can even give the vendors weapons to hold, although I'm now unsure how to get the vendor to lose the weapon. Lots of fun.

Yea, me too, and have had a lot of fun with it. I made two very attractive female twi'leks for my clothing vendors. Dressed one very elegantly and the other very slutty. I created a vendor to sell food and he's this little tiny guy (forget the race) but he has little horns sticking up out of his head. He looked like a little devil to me so I dressed him in bright red, lol. A lot of fun, and really approves the overall appeal of the store when vendors are attractive and well dressed I think.

I'm not a tailor, but I really like the way the sports wrap looks with paramilitary camos. I havea black sports wrap with black and white camos. It's pretty cute.

I know...I know... black... But not /all/ black. Hehe. And I'm female. I'm not trying to look l337.

Crafter's Pants are good for hiding the flap on the sports wrap, too. It disappears under the apron. And even though Crafter's Pants are newbie-wear (male artisans), in customized colors they can look really neat.
