The shimmering dress is a recurring dress in the Dragon Quest series that first appeared in Dragon Quest IV. This radiant yellow gown sometimes reflects incoming spells from both enemies and allies, with the exact frequency depending on the title. Design wise, it has shifted from a loose-fitting robe to a regal ballroom gown as of the seventh game.
Appearances
