GUIDE: Easy way to get your villagers to wear ANY clothes!

[Baboom]

Thought I'd start a thread on this as quite a few people don't seem to know this method. I see a lot of people saying you should look up the villagers favourite styles (which limits you greatly and still isn't guaranteed to work) or keep sending them the clothes each day until they wear them but there's a much simpler and less limited way of getting them to wear ANY clothes you think would look good on them!

1. Once you've held an item of clothing in your inventory it'll be added to your catalogue
2. Go to your catalogue and choose an item of clothing to suit your badly dressed villager (it doesn't have to be their favourite style)
3. Order it FIVE times (make sure you have five spaces in your mail box)
4. When they arrive in your mail box send them all off in 5 letters to your villager
5. The following day your villager will be wearing the clothes!

It works every time. Also, to stop the villagers randomly dressing up in to the designs in the Able Sisters shop just turn all the designs in to umbrellas.

Below are some of my villagers I've dressed up. Don't they look awesome?! You can really give them more character this way or even a backstory.

Wolfgang looking very smart and handsome:



Pudge looking super cute in his sailor tee:



Boone out-gaying Julian.

Dang it. I should've done this with Fauna, baha.

 

[Charmy]

Thank you! My villagers are wearing some really hideous outfits, I'm going to try this out.

 

[trea]

Thank you so much for this. I will try it out soon!

 

[Baboom]

No worries! I forgot to mention as well, if you don't want them to randomly dress in to the designs at Able Sisters just change all the designs in to umbrellas.

Woah woah. I need to try this ASAP. Half of my villagers walk around in that ugly green shirt with the duck on the front....

How do you change the designs to umbrellas? D:

 

[Cariad]

Thanks! I want lily to look perfect again.

 

[Tenyu]

Will the villagers fill their houses with four of the same shirt?

Also, I really dig the path you've got there in the photo with Boone.

 

[Mollypop]

This is great, thank you! ^w^
I'm going to try and get all my girls in the same outfit, and all my boys in the same outfit. :]

How do you change the designs to umbrellas? D:

Just replace the shirts with any non-pro design you have and choose to display as umbrella

Will the villagers fill their houses with four of the same shirt?

I'm worried about that too, usually when you send them a shirt and they don't wear it, they put it in their house. Maybe not all four of them, but at least 1 or 2.

 

[Baboom]

They don't put all the shirts in their house. I've found they only put ONE of the shirts in there. No idea what they do with the other three! If it bothers you then you can just talk to them a lot and when they invite you over buy it off them for a small price.

How do you change the designs to umbrellas? D:

You replace them with four of your designs you're carrying (doesn't have to be pro) and select umbrella when she asks what you want to display it as.

 

[Neriifur]

Holy thank you. Just 2 days after I got Whitney to finally wear something decent, she puts on this ugly polka-dotted thing Chops had. I'll have to send all my of villagers 5 shirts each, because almost all of them are wearing something hideous!

 

[kiwi34fruit]

Awesome advice, but is there a way to make villagers wear your own designs?

 

[VioletsTown]

Omg this is so awesome, thank you! I just hate that white tshirt and ducky shirt they all change into... Then they change back into them even after i successfully get them to wear something else! I will definitely try these tricks.

 

[graceroxx]

Thank you!! Amelia is wearing the ugliest grape tee...and Biff is wearing Sydney's yellow polka-dot top, he looks gay in it..I need to try this, lol

 

[sn0wxyuki]

Oh my thank you so much!! This is super duper helpful and I gonna try it straight away! One more advice, what will they do with the extra piece? Keep in their house or try to sell it back to me?!! O.O!!

 

[ayeeprill]

Also, you can make the Able designs dresses as well: they won't wear those.

 

[lilylily]

this is GREAT, thank you so much :3 i'm going to try tomorrow.
