The dress is stunning.
My elves travel in swamps, and in wet and unpleasent weather often. Usually through thick undergrowth while they are at it.
The roads have mud sometimes...and even horse and oxen droppings in human lands. Jagged terrain and sharp rocks are also not out of the question.
I think my elven characters might have things a bit harder then yours!
Not to mention getting the bloodstains out of something like that.
One wonders what she wears when she is being fancy...

Thanks a lot!
By the way the dress is for a highelven queen, not for a woodelf - She don´t has to walk through mud or swamps or undergrowth
(But I did and had no problem with that.)
Highelves live in huge citys, luxury and they love pretty things. So the dress must fullfill their sense of beauty, the representative status of the queen (so it is extremely noble and not a standard) and don´t have to be practical in any way... And if there are bloodstains on her dress, her life guards must have failed ;D (Anyway I had some on the dress before. But after a wash in the machine they are all out. The fabric is very thankful with that...)
For a more noble occassion I have other elegant dresses with high grade fabrics (silk, velvet...), more ornamentation or a more flowing and elegant profile.
But I´m playing other elven characters, too (just look at my woodelf/wildelf picture). And they and their clothing are more close to nature and more practical. I really understand what you mean - but both character types are extremely different. One is very dirty and wild (I love that <3), and the other (here) is from upper nobility.
I think there are more types of elves - from the noble and wise highelves to merciless and close to nature woodelves. And there is much more in between - even apart from what profession they are So their clothing is never the same and there is a huge room for interpretation and differences.
