This guide will look at one of Sophie's outfits she wears in the game. Sophie's style focuses on girly fashion and she is often seen wearing cute dresses and berets. Here is an picture of Sophie wearing the outfit the game assigns to her during the warmer months of the game. You can alter her outfit when she requests it at your Boutique. She will change her outfit herself when the seasons change in the game.
The following items make up Sophie's outfit:
- Marble Lily - Bell Sleeve Bolero (Cream)
- Retrobeat - Sailor Dress (Red)
- Marzipan Sky - Lacy Socks (White)
- Marble Lily - Ribbon Ballet Flats (Cream)
- Marzipan Sky - White Beret (Red Stripe)
Throughout
the game, the main NPC's will visit your boutique to request new
outfits. Some characters request new outfits for an event or as their
normal outfit they wear in game. Each character has their own personal
style and a list of each characters style can be found here.
Sophie is a bright and curious girl who lives in Beaumonde City and is a close friend of your character. She has a special connection with you as your grandmothers helped bring fashion to the city many years ago. Sophie will visit your boutique requesting a new outfit to wear as her normal outfit.
Sophie's
personal style is girly and likes items from the Marzipan Sky brand. Select the image 'girly' and design an outfit based around this
style. Remember to choose clothing items appropriate for the season,
i.e. you cannot wear just a tank top in winter as the character will
remark how they will get cold. Each character will have a budget you
will need to stay within and you can go slightly over the budget by
about $80. Once you are happy with the outfit, select Ok.
You
can select either 'Try It On' or 'Take A Look' when showing the
character the outfit you have chosen. Select the 'Try It On' option if
you are confident they will like the outfit or if you select 'Take A
Look', you will get 3 tries to try to impress the character with an
outfit.
If
you chose 'Try It On' and the character is highly impressed with the
outfit, the game will play a short animation showing the character in
their new outfit. The background of the animation changes depending on
the style the character is wearing.
Looks
like Sophie is impressed with her new outfit. She will tell you what
aspects she likes about it and usually will comment on how girly it is.
During this scene, characters will give you hints on the styles and
colours that they look for in an outfit. Sophie is a fan of girly outfits as she mentions how girly the outfit is and how it fits within her budget.
After
this, Sophie will pay you for the outfit and the amount is added to
your money in-game. Sophie will comment on how excited she is now and would like to go on a picnic. She will invite you to visit her at the Meadows which can be accessed via the train station. You do
not need to meet her immediately and can visit whenever you like. When
visiting the Meadows with Sophie, she will ask to take a photo with you
and give you a miniature item as a gift.
