    I think they've locked themselves into a system with the "growing coloured flowers" mechanism and they just have to keep going with it.

    Still, I wish they managed it better because the flowers are usually lurid bright colours that don't match anything ever.

    It would be great if you could tint them with dyes, or if they were partly dyeable while still retaining the specific coloured parts.

    There aren't anywhere near enough headpieces that sit on that side! Only the Makai butterfly hairpin as far as I'm aware.

    Flowers and monocles have never been gender locked. (Your character is GIVEN a monocle that looks very much like this in the story)
    Yes, but event gear is often locked so it seems like a 50/50 chance.

    Also, last year's daisy crowns were essentially gender-locked by giving us one item with two different appearances.

    I'd love to see them redo the corsage system and should probably make a separate thread for this being kind of off-topic but...

    I think ideally I'd do it like:

    White corsage: Rare flowers, can be dyed
    Black corsage: Rare flowers
    Rainbow corsage: Current "rainbow" version crafted using blue/yellow/red flowers
    Fire corsage: A "Rainbow" crafted using yellow/orange/red flowers
    Pastel corsage: Soft version like hydrangeas, crafted using purple/blue/red flowers

    And other color combinations, etc. It'd still keep the gardening for unique colors aspect in tact while also creating room for better/alternate rainbow patterns AND allowing room for a dyable version.

    Also RIP Reuse... corsage king.

    They do it with skirts/shorts and pants quite often... when they change an outfit based on gender it may not even match the icon meant to represent it.
    They do it often enough that I've begun to notice when they don't do it, like with this event fortunately.

    I'm not big on any of the furnitures but I looooove that corsage, the monocle is good for a more foppish character, too.

    Please do, because I'd support the heck out of a system like that.

    The corsage looks like it changes appearance some based on gender this year too. The Viera in the image has 5 flowers and in a bright pink. The icon only has 3 flowers in a duller pink and maybe a (more) yellow center. The icon usually depicts the male variation. Can't say about the monocle because the image shows it on a male character.

    Hmm, good point. Though I think the yellower(?) centre might be just how it's rendered on the image vs the 3D item.

    It's an odd decision to make, though. It's not like having less flowers in your pink flower hairpin makes it more masculine.

    Forgive the gender stereotyping please - both my male characters made use of the daisy crown! (And no it didn't look feminine on them. Really.)
