While I do like dressing up my dragons in human-like clothing as much as pretty much anyone else, I'd like to see more apparel items that actually feel "draconic" in nature.
What I mean by draconic is clothing that looks like something dragons might come up with and create themselves *and* feel comfortable wearing. The best already-existing examples would be some of the holiday items, like Naturalist Adornments or the Eroded Crystalhide and for normal apparel, maybe the Birdskull set and the new Wolf capes.
In my humble opinion these kind of properly dragon-made apparel pieces shouldn't be restricted mostly just to holiday items! I'd like to see some strange, ceremonial head/wing gear fashioned from gemstones and sticks and animal parts, or some kind of decorative harnesses that take into account the dragons' anatomy (i.e. no clipping through the wings). If they were regular apparel, there could be differently-coloured sets, which is something holiday apparel can't have (shame!). Some kind of standalone "mutations" would also be cool to have (see: the spikes that come with the Electrician's Power Pack).
As a side note, I'd really love it if the Mystic's Bark Mask could get some other matching apparel parts to make a full set! It's exactly the kind of stuff I'd like to see more.
So, any ideas, opinions, support, no support? Let's hear it! C:

Yes support. We need more weird apparel less conventioal stuff that gumans would wear.

When looking at some of the apparel that's already made I like to consider where it may have came from in the world of Flight Rising. Such as the Steam Punk attire I either imagine it came from Fire Flight, or the Lightening Flight as some of the descriptions describe the functionality of the attire is to protect from suit and ash.
Knowing that some dragon flights have stereotypical occupations for their flight and part of that world where they come from it's already safe to say that some of the apparel already out on Flight Rising is based on what dragons would have come up with themselves.
Perhaps if the descriptions of the clothing were to come with identificators as to which part of the world it came from it would be easier to consider how that might fit in the world of Flight Rising. But as of right now some of the best examples of that would be from the Flower Crown collection where they tell you it was expertly crafted from a well skilled Nature Flight Dragon.
Despite how I think most of the clothing on Flight Rising fits with what I think dragons of certain flights would come out with I would also like to see more examples of traditional clothing, even antique relics of the past culture to better understand the history and current path of the dragons in the Flight Rising timeline.
With some of the new apparel like wolf pelts it would be nice not only to know what they are clearly made from, but where and in what type of dragon this would be fashioned for. From the barest of description I can guess that this would be made from the wolf familiars and depending on where they originate that's where the clothing would be made too.
More things I would like to see asides from the already described traditional clothing and relics of past culture would be things like the silk collection, jeweled adornments, sashes and drapes that better cling to the shape and form of the dragon like seen from the silk collection, and clothing in general that could have be made from the materials we gather with our dragons.

I would personally love to see some horn ornaments, and maybe some "functional" apparel, like a bone warhorn or sheathed weapons.(for when claws just arent cool enough)
Maybe a gathering bag filled with materials.
