Should I use the glamour dresser?

I've only read a few posts this thread, but I hear people saying you can still dye gear after it is put in the dresser. I use to be under the impression that you can't. So can each individual piece be dyed or is it applied to entire plate only?

When you open the dresser, don't click "edit plates". Instead, right click any individual piece in the dresser and there is an option to dye it. This will override any previous dye and will be the default dye when you next add the item to a plate. If the item is already in use in a plate, the color of that item in the plate will not be affected.

Oh, okay. Thanks. ^_^ I might consider using it to clear up space. I'll just avoid putting CS items and items with effects like EXP boost in it.

I believe you can also dye a piece of gear while editing your plates, which will only apply that dye to that item from the specific plates used.

Which means you could dye a piece of gear within the dresser with an expensive dye, which would allow that dyed piece to be used in any future plate, but also while using it in any plate, dye over it with any other dye without losing the original expensive look that is saved to the dresser.

You're right. When dyed that way the dye binds to the plate and not the item and this allows dyeing Armoire items in the dresser. For example, if I wanted wolf ears dyed pure white I would save the ears to plate 1 and dye it there, but then I would have to always use plate 1 for those ears if I wanted to keep the dye on the item. As long as we have the limit of only 10 plates this may be more problematic than just keeping dyed Armoire items in the chocobo bag.
