Change ups of outfits are always nice! Looking forward to seeing your new clothes!

That vest is a good look for you, but it's certainly true that you don't need to be wearing the exact same thing day after day after day... Does that vest even ever get washed?

And now all I can think of is the mental image of you trying to squeeze six arms through a shirt or a coat with only two sleeves...

I asked Syllis about this, since I thought she'd have some insights on clothing for a six-armed figure. Here's what she said.


I've always liked having multiple outfits for different occasions. You need at least two, one for traveling and one for dressing up.

For travel, get some sturdy boots and trousers, a belt you can put pouches on (especially if you're like me and have friends who obsess over weird herbs and stones), and a good cloak to keep the wind and rain off your back. Gloves are really helpful for people like us. Get one elbow-length pair for protection when you need to put your hands in something gross or dangerous, and leave your other four hands free to do fine work or to wear bracelets and rings if you've got reason to keep enchanted stuff around. Covering your chest is pretty easy if you can get a tailor or armorer to take the sleeves off something so you can put them on separately and then layer the chest piece over it. It's a lot simpler than trying to struggle your way into all six sleeves of something made to be sturdy. The headband is a good look for an adventurer, too - people see that and instantly know you're active and outdoorsy.

Now, for dressing up, this is when you can really take advantage of your shape. Formal occasions will usually be indoors, so don't worry about weather or anything. Red's a good color on you - get a red jacket and pants, and matching shoes if you're the type to wear shoes. Jacket open over a dark-colored shirt would look good if you put a pattern on the shirt or wore a pendant. At a formal event you want to come across as confident, so make extra-sure your shirt and jacket have some flex built in between all your shoulders. My first dress didn't, so every time I raised my top arms, my other two pairs went with, and it felt stiff and uncomfortable.

If you'd like sketches of these to take to a tailor, I know someone who'd love to do some kind of exchange. I'll let him know I asked.

Thanks, Syllis. Like she said, I'm willing to do an art trade of some kind to design outfits. It's something I like doing for unusually-shaped characters.

Oh my goodness, I'd be honored to do such a thing, but I'm not a good art person at all! Perhaps there's something else in return for you I could do? I'm just not sure what I could do in return! o.o

Don't worry about doing anything - I'll do these sketches for the fun of it, because drawing six-armed people is fun. I'll let you know when they're done (I've been pretty busy lately).

Awwww, that's so nice of you! Thank you so much! ;w;

Don't worry about being busy, just let me know when you post it! I'm also on Weasyl too but not as often. :o
