A player will only see 1 set of items applied on you. You can change to some plates on that, but even here, its a static set. It doesnt matter how many combinations can be made, the sets are limited already the moment you leave your inn room. It does not matter how many glam items there are in your dresser, how the colors are applied (whether they use dye or not), since these things are not being saved in your plate. The plate just stores it and each client can just load that plate.

The entire problem is purely down to how things are stored in that dresser.
