Swish —
Deep in the night, a day before Merv's Atelier opens.
 

Spread across Merv's desk
are outfit sketches drawn from your memories,
and her work notes for new silhouettes.

 

And there, at the center of the workshop...

Draped in silent black velvet, a single garment stands in silence,
waiting for the moment of its first fitting.

Swoosh—
The heavy curtains part, and a beam of light shines on Merv,
standing at the center of the stage.

Welcome, Adventurers.Merv, at your service.

For many years now, I've been crafting and refining all sorts of outfits,watching them travel alongside you on your journeys.

Some of them still come to mind, even after all this time.


Outfits that were deeply loved,that live on as a special memory for someone,and that remain just as charming today.


And that got me thinking.

What if I remade them, keeping all the charm and memories intact,but adding a modern touch?


Preserving its beauty,reworking the parts that fell a little short,and weaving in new materials and details.


So one by one, I plan to take those outfitsfrom our memories and reshape them into something new.


And each outfit reborn as suchwill be unveiled right here, at my atelier.


Adventurers,welcome to Merv's Atelier.

Checkmate Outfit

Do you remember this outfit,Checkmate?

It was loved by so many of you,
but I always regretted that I couldn't offer it to every Adventurer.

So I kept everything that made Checkmate special,

and reworked the silhouette and details piece by piece,
so that far more of you can wear it in a way that suits you.

And with that,the new Checkmate was complete.

The very first outfit to be unveiledat Merv's Atelier - Checkmate: Queen.
