Oh, that is nice. <3 I like the glove-binding, fluffy flower collarline, and almost Roman army-belt like layered skirt. It looks like you're coming up with a lot of good costume thoughts for these folk...

Thank you! I'm glad you like my ideas so far. I do feel they lack focus as I've drawn inspiration from a lot of different sources with little unifying them aside from the liberal application of flowers and flower petals, but that should improve with time; I'm in the early stages of worldbuilding still.

It's also possible that there are reasons for some diversity in costume design? Traditions from different regions, with some folks adapting multiple styles due to mixed heritage in their village or tribe or whatnot?

  Fair point! I still have a lot of work to do filling out Garden* lore and history, so I might could keep all my outfit ideas and work their diversity into the history.
  
  *The Garden is the name of the large tropical rainforest in which Green Elves, Avian Elves, Avians, Treeants, and assorted spirits live.

  *temperate rainforest, not tropical. Sorta like the temperate rainforests in Washington state.

  Garden... I like that. Brings implications of - this is a safe place rich with life, this is a place that is cared for.

  That's what I was going for! Glad you got that same impression that I hope to elicit in others.
  
  What I eventually intend to do is write/draw a webcomic series in this setting and also another world I've designed. I keep not doing that because I've even less faith in my story-writing skills than my art. Also I'm just lazy. >.>
