  • Some items are called dresses when they are Robes.....guys like some of the items but get nervous when its says dress. (there are also a couple of skirts that should be called some thing other than skirts IMO too)



  • Remove "Usually worn by females" ---- one again, sometimes it is a piece that will appeal to men or woman but the guys get turn-off when they see this



  • Remove Female only restrictions...two items come to mind that make no sense in this respect...The Cuffed Shirt and the Grand Healers Robe....there is nothing overtly female about these items and should be unisex...while there are some items that are definantly designed for woman - bikinis - other than an actual problem rendereing the outfits on males i dont see what harm it would cause...can woman wear all the mens clothing or are tehy restricted as well

I'm just glad I sold a healthy number of smocks *before* they got classified as dresses!

I fully agree! Especially with the Grand Healer Robe. A friend of mine (he is a doctor) was very eager to get this robe and couldn't wear it ... big disappointment

Good points all around. My male doctor friend also freaked when I gave him the doctor's robe, since it said "worn by females" even though he could wear it. We compromised with a robe of honor, lol.

I actually see two issues here. Things that are robes need to be in the robes section, as skirts need to be in dresses and so forth. I completely agree with this.


I agree that some outfits should be made unisex, like the mentioned shirt and robes, but I don't think the "usually worn by females" thing hurts at all. Any frightened by that little remark would probably prefer some all-black dusters or something.


Seriously. Getting nervous 'cos it says "dress"? Geez. It's Star Wars. Luke wore that stupid little mini-skirt and tights number for three quarters of the first movie!
