Side note, I love the fact that any player, male or female, can wear any of the clothes in this game. I'm sure they'll be a few choice frocks that I just must add to my wardrobe for when I want to feel pretty.
You can also use the dress pattern for trenchcoats and kilts and stuff. It's overall a nice system, the only downside being you gain a "girly" run while wearing female clothes/patterns.
