The armoire needs more room.

I see they are trying to give the glamour system a "real item" vibe (and I can appreciate that for immersion sake), but I'd prefer a system where you can acquire every clothing style through possession, soulbinding and/or equipping. (WoW, Rift, DCUO)

The glamour dresser is a type of storage from a data perspective and probably more so than the Armoire. Regular storage require data space for an item number and a series of attributes that differ it form the standard item (materia, durabilty, dye, glamour, soulbinding, etc.) Stack items are pretty much an item number and a quantity.

The armoire only holds specific items and they have no distinctive features (your wolf ears are just like everyone elses' wolf ears). It could take the form a check list really, 1 bit per item. There would be a master list of item numbers that wouldn't need to be stored per character because it's the same for everyone and a just a "check" to indicate you have the item in there.

The Glamour dresser has 200 spaces which need to hold an item number and dye number.

All of this data is really minuscule but if the character data set is poorly designed it can be difficult to just insert a few hundred bytes.
