I actually really dig the idea of having a version with and without the dress. I remember Uther in Heroes of the Storm having a couple of versions of the Judgement armor, and you could see his legs and boots, not the normal “robe” look.
Which hey, no hate on that or anything (well, maybe a little bit; something about the lower half looks a bit “off” to me). But would be cool to mix it up a bit!
