The shimmering dress, also known as the light dress or dress of radiance, is a recurring armor in the Dragon Quest franchise. This radiant yellow gown sometimes reflects incoming spells, with the frequency depending on the title. Design wise, it has shifted from a loose-fitting robe to a regal ballroom gown.
Appearances
Dragon Quest III
The shimmering dress has a defence bonus of +90 and reduces damage taken from breath and magic attacks by 33%. It is the strongest piece of armor in remakes of the game, but it can only be worn by female characters. One can be found in Zoma's Castle on the 4th floor. In the GBC remake, more can be purchased from the 5th Treasures n' Trapdoors track in one of the shops for 19,000 gold.
Dragon Quest IV
The shimmering dress has a defence bonus of +50 (+45 in the NES Version) and can be worn by The Hero (female), Alena, Maya & Meena. The Dress can be sold for 6,600 gold coins. It has a 33% chance to reflect spells back at the caster.
They can be found in Baron's Folly and Doorway to Nadiria.
Dragon Quest V
The shimmering dress has a defence bonus of +45, and a 33% reflection rate. It may be purchased in Gotha and Lofty Peak for 8000 gold.
Dragon Quest VI
This time, the dress is a reward for completing the Best Dressed Contest instead of being purchasable, and as such is unsellable. It provides +55 defence and +65 style, with a whopping 50% chance to reflect magic. Combine with a Silver Tiara and Glass Slipper for a massive +186 style boost for Milly and Ashlynn.
Dragon Quest VII
The shimmering dress has a defence bonus of +75 and a style bonus of +61. It can only be equipped by Maribel and Aishe and it reflects spells in battle. The shimmering dress can be found at the Multipleximus Maximus.
Dragon Quest VIII
A mysterious dress that occasionally reflects a spell cast on the wearer back at the caster. (Description when selecting the Shimmering dress in PS2 Dragon Quest VIII.)
The shimmering dress has a defense bonus of +67 and a 20% chance to reflect all spells barring Insulatle. It can only be worn by Jessica.
Dragon Quest IX
The golden gown may be equipped by every vocation, providing +35 defence, +100 style, and a 1/3 chance to bounce back magic.
