Should costume descriptions be placed in character's bio page, or posted in this thread?
Or perhaps both?

Every year I always seem to forget this. Both works, but not a must. I like having a record here of the outfits as examples from year to year.

Bo's outfit 2023


One does not simply wake as a butterfly; it takes umpteen turns, and storms inside a chrysalis for such metamorphosis.

The young dragoness before you appears to have emerged and been ensnared in a dainty net of lace and gauze, as she graces the ballroom. She is corseted in lilac, rose and thistledown; with shoulders bared and white. Through the gossamer of her sleeves can be glimpsed delicate veins of purple clover.

From the great headdress she dons, one of her spiraling horns has shattered; while its fellow remains pristine. A twisted barb of ivory jutting beyond her pale cheek towards her exposed shoulder. Upon the side of her ruinous horn, her eye is unseeing. And sits pearly in its socket; like a jewel. Beneath her feathery brows, her watchful eye is blue.

When she graces those around her with a full smile, her canines appear to be fanged to a point to match her sharp nails painted in green.

So peaceful, is this dragoness, that a green butterfly has apparently settled upon her slumbering shoulder. Attached to her back is a pair of wings that mimic that of the butterfly. Twigs make up the base of the wings with a thick dyed green leather tarped over to further the illusion, while meticulously sown into the leather are fragments of strange metal cut into scales that give off a soft jingle as she flitters to and fro.
And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it. - Roald Dahl

Bris outfit 2023

One does not simply emerge into life as what they want, one must shape and form their body how they wish to be seen.

The elder dragon before you stares back at you with brown eyes encircled by charcoal to deepen the effect of hollowed sockets. His face neatly shaven, and a fanged smile to greet those around him.

He carries himself with a sense of authority. The blue tuxedo he wears covers his form neatly, freshly pressed with a deep yellow undershirt. At the top of the left pocket, starts an embroidered green dragon emerging from the pocket and working its way up his chest only to disappear at the collar of the tux and reappears on the right side trailing its way back down to the right pocket stopping short of the opening: Its arms rest at the top of the pocket, maw opened wide into a smile.

Attached to the back of the tux are a pair of wings framed together with twigs and covered with dyed leather: One wing is blue, and the other yellow. Both wings have pieces of scale shaped strange metal running throughout.

Frohste's Gown 2023

In Frohste’s hair, offset to the right side of her head, sits a dainty fascinator, the base of which is composed of black tulle. Seemingly floating on top the tulle is a pair of menacingly furrowed black, bushy dragon eyebrows.

Frohste’s dragon gown has been lovingly pieced together with various elements from a red and a blue dragon. The strapless bone reinforced corset has the smooth underbelly skin of a red dragon stretched over the left half, and blue dragon underbelly skin stretched over the right. Inside, the corset is lined with white snowshoe hare pelts for comfort and warmth. Tufts of white hair peek over the top of the corset, sharply contrasting with the deep crimson and royal blue of the dragon skins. The heart-shaped neckline sits just below Frohste’s collar bones, accentuating her long slender neck. Covering the bodice is a drapery of silk embroidered lace with white snowflakes made of fine spider’s web strands with small white beads placed intermittently throughout to give the perception of sparkles on the snowflakes.

Opera length undersleeves made of stretched black-dyed dragon scales lace up at the bicep with cerulean ribbon and come to a V-tip over the hand. The bright crimson oversleeves lace up at the elbow as a cuff with velvety black ribbon. The oversleeves flare into flowing bell-shaped wizard sleeves lined and trimmed with matching black velvet ribbon and hover just above the floor when hands are at the sides.

Two dragon wing bones shape the skirt, each attaching to a black leather belt that rides on the wearer’s waist and can be cinched or loosened as necessary. The bones angle down towards the back of the skirt, the wing fingers spread wide to flare out the train. Shiny deep crimson taffeta trimmed with black lace is also attached to the belt, completely concealing the wing bones, and flowing loosely to the ground on all sides. Royal blue dragon scales, two scales wide, wrap asymmetrically down the taffeta starting at the waist and ending at the black lace trim. Tiny white beads sewn randomly between the royal blue scales give the illusion of a shimmering waterfall.
On her feet, she wears white slippers made of tanned snow leopard skin, which seemingly hug her foot as though she were born in them.

The Reptiloid

Pallas' striking green clothing has been decorated with a tracery of lines and shading to give the effect of being composed of reptilian scales. His boots have been treated the same way, and the addition of looted fangs simulates clawed feet.
The end of each sleeve is cut into the shape of long digits, again each piece having a fang attached. A loop of cloth around his middle finger holds the armpieces in place while not overly interfering with manual dexterity. This being - a strange mix of human and dragon - is perfectly capable of holding a weapon or a drink!
On Pallas' face vegetable dye has been used to add a green tinge to the skin and again the simulation of scales has been applied. His hair is swept back and leather bands hold it in a ponytail - or, rather, a dragontail.
On his sides and back the predominant green colouration subtly changes to grey, blending in with a plush, warm cloak - an essential accessory in the winter season for a cold-blooded creature.

The Wyvern

Deadly and beautiful, the Stunted Wyvern stalks the Cursed Canyon north of the Endless Desert.

Topaz wears armor of gleaming iridescent wyvern scales. Her hood, on which wyvern scales have been fastened, covers her head and the lower part of her face so that only her bright brown eyes show. Her shield and boots have a demonic appearance, and she wields a venomous claw.

Lavender’s Bunny Dragon

Black hair smooth as a calm lake, flows down around a girl dragon, small silver horns sit just beside long purple bunny ears. Lavender eyes peer out, her face and hands are done up in silver and purple scales done in small groups of four for each patch, her fingernails all painted sparkling jade. The gown she wears is a mix of jade, black, and silver. Silver slippers silence her already soft steps. A cloth tail has been fixed to her gown at her waist and falls the length of the dress. It is also covered in silver and purple scales same as the rest of her, but with alternating silver and purple spine bumps down the center. A set of wings made of two long sticks covered in green and purple ribbons stick up from her back where they are tied, the sticks go up to about her head height, but cutout wings of glittery silver flow down her back attached all along the sticks to her waist then very lightly kept in place at the hem of her gown the rest billows gently as she moves.


Joyfire

Red hair made stiff and looking like it is flowing upwards like a wild fire, two skinny twisted horns stick out of her wild hair, one ivory white, the other blue. A simple dress of blue covers her slender frame, but white flames along the edge look like they are constantly flickering around the cream-colored spectral shoes on her feet. Along her body, anywhere that might be seen: face, hands, legs, feet, random veins are outlined in red, white, or blue crisscrossing her otherwise pale skin. This wingless dragon slithers silently around the ballroom, quiet as a cat sneaking up on her prey.

Zelele the dangerous Zostre is bright blue with green highlights. Her dark helmet covers her bulging eyes and outlines her neck ruff. Her speckled tail is neatly coiled into a large bustle. (The extensible satin tongue is rolled up tight when not being used.)

Enanek Trabbeg

Enanek is sporting a light blue, silk spun outfit which glistens from the innumerable ice crystals he has affixed to the fabric. The crystals are arranged so that they overlap in a downward cascading fashion and give the impression of icy scales.
Around his shoulders is a shimmering ice cloak which he has cut and run wire through to make a decent facsimile of dragon wings.
What skin that is left exposed has been covered with a fine dusting of light blue paint to match the entirety of his outfit, including his hair.
A cleverly concealed staff of ice allows him to shower the surrounding area with fine particles of ice dust, which give a dazzling display of refracted light.
