The recent Exemplar Attire looks great on humans, norn, sylvari, and even asura. However, the charr are a problem. Specifically, the charr females. Recently, you’ve come out with a number of gender-specific outfits for charr. And, frankly, they look ridiculous on the females.
I know that some people want more “feminine” charr females. But, giving charr females the exact same dress as human females is not the answer. A dress that’s designed to make a woman look hot, simply does not work on a big cat monster. Additionally, every dress you’ve given charr women, has awful tail clipping.
If you don’t have the time or resources to make a gender-specific outfit actually work for female charr, you should just give them the male version. At least make the dresses accommodate the tail.

All dresses on a Charr look ridiculous imo, but that’s what people were posting on the forums and asking for. Repeatedly. They wanted to be able to put their female Charr in dresses. ANet did what they asked.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

I agree, but the dresses would be more bearable if Anet at least cared to give them a tail hole… and make them work for charr chests & legs.

I can just imagine a charr trying to walk—much less run—in that. The tail getting tangled in the fabric. The footclaws ripping through silk and getting horribly stuck, causing the charr to fall flat and break its toes. The fabric around the chest flapping loosely in the wind, due to lack of breasts. Bits of corset and button snapping off and flying through the air, as the charr struggles to draw breath.
It’s a nightmare more horrifying then the dragons themselves, spawned by player requests and anet’s lack of care about charr aesthetics.

But, humor aside, I really would love to see Anet put effort into player requests a little less… ridiculously.

I agree. The designs for charr should be exactly that: designed for charr.

That said, I think there’s cost and work hours involved, so it’s likely not considered an expedient route to take business wise. Which, put simply, sucks.
