The Flowing dress is a robe in the series. It offers a high degree of protection against fire and ice attacks and is one of the most protective pieces of equipment for spellcasters.
Design[edit | edit source]
In most of its appearances, the flowing robe looks like a traditional Japanese kimono made out of sky blue cloth, with the hemline of the robe blending into flowing water or mist. It is worn with either a blue or purple sash tied around the waist, another cloth sash attached to a pair of wristbands or carried around the wearer's wrists, and a pair of sandals. However, in appearances such as Dragon Quest X, the flowing dress looks closer to a Western-styled robe with a hood and has wave-like decorations around the sleeves and hemline. Some games also divide the robe into sections for the upper and lower body.
Although the flowing dress debuted as a unique and special piece of equipment in Dragon Quest II, later games in the series reduced its importance by making it purchasable in armour shops in later sections of the game or by allowing players themselves to craft it on their own. It is still a very protective in its own right, but its status as the most protective robe has been replaced by other pieces of equipment. Contrary to its English name, the robe typically does not have any gender restrictions.
Appearances[edit | edit source]
Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line[edit | edit source]
| Game | Description |
| A garment woven from celestial skein.[1] |
The Flowing dress has a Defence bonus of +35 in the original, and +65 in all other versions, and can be worn by all three characters. It reduces damage taken from fire attacks by 50% and damage caused by swamps and magma tiles. The robe is obtained by giving the Subtle Shuttle and Celestial skein to Don Calico in Slewse. The don does not finish his work until the player saves and then restarts their game or rests at an inn in the remakes.
- In the original version, a second copy of the dress can be obtained by gathering the skein and shuttle again. This only works the first time. Because Don Calico wove it specifically for her, the dress cannot be received if the Princess of Moonbrooke's inventory is full.

Dragon Quest Tact[edit | edit source]
The Flowing dress appears as a S-rank piece of armor as part of the original Dragon Quest II event that can be received as a reward for defeating Atlas in a Mega Boss Battle or purchasable from the Swap Shop for 500 DQII medals each. The robe has a DEF bonus of +10, a WIS bonus of +7, and increases resistance against Hobble by 10%.

In Other Languages[edit | edit source]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- In the original Japanese, the flowing dress is known as the "mizu no hagoromo". "Mizu" simply means "water", while hagoromo are special robes or kimono worn by celestial beings in Japanese mythology, such as angels or "tennin", heavenly spirits from Buddhist heaven. These robes were made out of materials like magical feathers and had special properties. If a tennin were to find themselves without their hagoromo, they would be unable to return to heaven.
