Nomin doesn't have too much in the way of formal clothing... • w •

Sometimes she likes dressing up because she finds the experience of trying on new clothes and styles to see how it looks on her, but overall, encumbering herself with clothing and fashion is not high on her list. The most she's really done is dressing up for events in Eorzea so far. She never really had too much of the opportunity to dress up when she was on the Steppe because she generally had other things on her mind (but this can change! I still have so many more experiences to write! :> ).

Here's a small collection of some of the things I've made for her that fit the criteria, though. :D

The first outfit is actually the first ever formal outfit I made for Nomin. Just something I thought looked nice.

Second outfit is probably the closest I can get to traditional Mongolian formal wear without mods that she can wear on the Steppe and to celebrate her roots? So I'll mark that as a win in my book since it's really hard to actually make a proper looking deel with what we have available.

Third outfit is a hanfu mashup. As I stated, it's really hard to make proper looking Mongolian clothing. From what I understand, pending on locale on the Steppe, there are some clothes for formal wear that kind of look like a hanfu? It's not terribly ideal for me, though I went with it.

Last outfit is what I kind of imagine Nomin to wear for hers and Estinien's cultural exchange of Eternal Bonding. I have the Steppe version, but I'm not wild about it. So I'll probably sit down and try to tweak it. But this is the Ishgardian version that I chose. Dress mod can be found here.
