The colours, especially the inclusion of "blue" seemed to work really well for Gabrielle and the earthy browns seemed to symbolise Gabrielle's status as an Amazon. With a few modifications, I would have been happy for that costume to remain. Well, I'm glad that someone liked/noticed Gabrielle's season 1 outfits. Those outfits (like season 1 in general) are relatively unnoticed by the fans. My personal favorite will always be pacifist Gabrielle's outfit. The color scheme of that costume really looked good on ROC, and I wish that she could've worn it for more than half a season.

Besides it's magical shrinking properties weren't that bad Avatar credit to Lucia N. Thanks Hippy for my awesome keeper sig!

To me, the 2 BGSBs looked like 2 different tops, so technically, she didn't wear either that much longer than the res of the tops, just the skirt.

That's the only season 1 outfit that I really did like. It really went well with her hair color at the time, too. And I agree about the blue in it--it was a nice compliment to the redish brown. I agree about the roughness of the BSBG in season 2. I liked the criss/cross a bit better than the flower pattern, though. You know, I think I agree about the red velvet outfit of season 6. It was pretty, no doubt, but not much of an outfit I would figure Gabrielle would wear as she began to grow into a warrior. I would have preferred the season 5 outfit to stay throughout the rest of the series. XOC Forum Host and Graphic Artist "Do something SCARY...

It's also the one she wore for the longest time -- from the start of Season 2 until late Season 4, more than 2 1/2 seasons. (Admittedly the S2 BSGB was a bit different from the S3/4 one but you'd have to look closely to notice.) I actually liked all of Gabrielle's outfits (the peacenik one is probably my least favorite), though I think that as she became a full-fledged warrior in S6 she should have gotten something that covered her up a little more.

I just always felt like she needed to cover up a bit more I guess logically, it doesn't make sense to expose all that flesh to an enemy! haha! I guess however, her glorious abs did serve as eyecandy! I guess the BGSB represents classic gabby to me...

In a way, it kind of irritated me how sexed up she became later on. And it has nothing to do with how she looks it's just, not my thing and not for a soon-to-be-warrior.

The wind was blowing during the scene. She just looked cold. I appreciated the hard work she went through to keep Gabrielle's body in top form, but I always thought it was unfair that Xena was fairly covered up - a one piece leather outfit that covered her fairly well and nearly thigh - high boots - and Gab's outfits kept getting smaller and smaller.
