aptx4869 Stylist | Great look! The shoulder piece fits surprisingly well. My only comment is the dye choice -- black is not commonly used in eastern asian culture. I know this is canthan, but you know, canthan draws inspiration from the east asian culture. Tbh, I wonder if, without the backpiece, this would still retain that canthan theme. |

ieva Fashionista | Thank you for your detailed comment! I always research (and usually quite thoroughly). According to traditional Chinese belief, all natural phenomena can be traced back to five elements: black - the colour of the water element, is a symbol in China for winter, the north and at the same time stands for honour and high dignity. In fact, black was a very special colour in China for a long time - it was literally revered as the queen of all colours. (And so it is not surprising that Qin Shi Huang Di, the first emperor of China, wore black clothes when he ascended the throne and also chose black as the colour of his flags and pennants on that day). And as for the Cantha/Asian look - I still have an album with the remaining pictures: with a different back item and without any https://imgur.com/a/4cZXrn0 |

aptx4869 Stylist | Wow you've apparently done your research! In that case I maybe a bit misinformed, my apologies. I was basing it on my parents saying that we wear black only during funerals. Obviously not practiced everyday, but during cultural events we avoid black. Anyway, yup so I still like the look without the backpiece, it feels less Canta-ny but still holds! :) |

Gewreid Fashionista | I like the dragony detail on the skirt and the fact that you used the rat backpiece, my favorite of the bunch. That said, the dye job feels a bit plain and ordinary, especially as the armor pieces are fairly simple ones as well. |

TheKimmynator Fashion Guru | What a lovely look, it is toned down and modest, which is nice. It still looks very elegant and your character is absolutely beautiful! |
