The Princess's robe is a robe in the series. It is a highly-protective gown for women originally designed to protect against breath attacks, though in later games it has shifted to reduce damage taken from spells instead.

Design[edit | edit source]

The original design for the princess's robe is a white, floor-length dress with ornate gold designs, long ribbons, and red jewels that decorate the bodice and skirt, giving it an appearance similar to a wedding dress. This design can be seen in the Official Guide Books for the Super Famicom versions of Dragon Quest V and Dragon Quest VI. It was also brought back in Dragon Quest Walk for a special banner.

Starting with Dragon Quest VII, the robe's design was changed to a pink, floor-length dress with a light gold bodice, white fabric and lace on the shoulders and sleeves, and a teal sash attached to a pair of pink cuffs. The bodice is decorated with a pair of gold crosses and jewels. This design would be retroactively used in remake versions of the older games.
