The appearance of the flowing dress has not changed much over the years. In the majority of its appearances, the robe looks like a traditional Japanese kimono made out of sky blue cloth with the ~~bottom~~ of the robe blending into what appears to be flowing water or mist. It is worn with either a blue or purple sash tied around the waist, along with a cloth ~~band~~ attached to a pair of wristbands or carried around the wearer's wrists. However, in some appearances such as ''Dragon Quest X'', the flowing dress looks closer to a Western-styled robe with a hood and has wave-like decorations around the sleeves and ~~bottom~~. As footwear is usually part of the "armor" equipment slot barring accessories, it is also typically depicted as being accompanied by a pair of light sandals, yellow or orange (in a way suggestive of leather), secured by straps on the ankle, arch and around the big toe. More recent depictions feature a pair of anklets on the left foot.

Although the flowing dress debuted as a unique and special piece of equipment in ''Dragon Quest II'', later games in the series reduced its importance by making it purchasable in armor shops in later sections of the game or by allowing players themselves to craft it on their own. It is still a very protective in its own right, but its status as the most protective robe has been replaced by other pieces of equipment.
