Reset Villager's Clothing?

[KiwiFlavouredBubbles]

Is there any way to get rid of the clothing villagers have been gifted? I have villagers that came from other towns and they keep wearing things previous owners have given them. I get picky about what my villagers are wearing, and don't want them wearing random, silly clothes,,,
I tried complaining to Isabelle, but that doesn't seem to affect gifted clothing? ):

Is there another way to get rid of the clothes someone gave them?
Seems kinda silly that you wouldn't be able to remove them tbh,,, lmao

Good luck! I also want to know this, and posted a thread about it earlier but no one replied haha rip.

Hopefully you get more responses!

Oh, whoops! Didn't even see yours my b,,,

I really hope there's a way to reset their clothes or cycle them out, though. ):

No you're totally good!
Mine has fallen a couple of pages deep by now haha. I just hope someone can help out and give some tips! Surely there has to be a way to cycle them out of ugly clothes.

Here's hoping!
As cute as it was to see Stitches wearing an eye mask at first, he literally never takes it off and I just want to see his little face,,,

Really really want to know the answer to this as all. You’d think reporting them to Isabelle would fix it but it doesn’t

My friend has a custom pattern in his town and my villagers keep wearing it and it's really bothering me and even tho I keep reporting they won't stop wearing it and change back to it after a while

Yeah I'm having problems with this too. Complaining to Isabelle gets them back to their default clothes for a while but it doesn't restart their wardrobes so they wear it again eventually.

I have observed several glitches (I assume they're glitches) regarding villager clothes though:
- Complaining to Isabelle doesn't seem to work properly
- Sometimes a villager changes clothes in quick succession (doing the flashy spin animation over and over, I've seen several videos on Twitter)
- You might find a piece of clothing you gave to a villager in a totally different villager's wardrobe

One of my villagers was stuck changing clothes in quick succession for hours the other day. I couldn’t talk to her, and she didn’t stop until I closed the software.

All I can say is we should bring this up to Nintendo, bc what if it's something actually inappropriate and villagers don't stop wearing it

I'm assuming that has to be a glitch, 'cause Isabelle should reset custom designs for cases like this.
Especially when some people make,,, interesting designs lmao.

My villagers don't even return to their defaults after I complain to Isabelle. )':

But knowing that Isabelle doesn't even remove custom designs from a villager's wardrobe, I wonder if her not resetting gifted clothing items may also be a glitch??
Kind hope it is, at least, 'cause it's annoying lmao.

Sadly, mine is something that is actually inappropriate and I can't get her to stop wearing it. It says a swear word right across it, and I don't want my little baby Felicity wearing that. Not to mention I wouldn't want to get reported for something I didn't even give her to wear!

Yeah this definitely sounds like a glitch. The feature is there precisely for instances like this and it doesn't seem to work. I agree we should bring this up to Nintendo somehow.

This doesn't sound right. You should definitely report it to Nintendo because it could be a bug. You could also just try flooding them with clothing gifts. I have noticed that my villagers have favorites that they like to wear and don't wear clothing that isn't their favorite after I give them enough clothes that they love.

I want to try doing this but I'm scared they'll just flood their houses with clothing items lol

This is what I was wondering in my original thread...
Have you had any experience with "cycling" out a certain piece of clothing?

 

[Sudsofsplash]

I had gifted Marina to a few friends (as I've gotten her twice on islands) and she was wearing a design I had made from my island on my friends island and when complained to Isabelle, she had changed into the nook aloha shirt but later was wearing my design again? Even though my design is not in that islands ables store

Same! Felicity already has one of the outfits I gave her in her house! lol

 

[Hoosker]

Oof this thread is bumming me out. Audie has a couple of horrid outfits from her original owner, and I hate that I can't reset her!

I have given tons of clothing to Hamlet and I have only ever seen him display one clothing item in his house. So, I don't think the villagers like flooding their houses with clothing anymore either. I've also given quite a few different pieces to Katt and I've only ever seen her hang up on the wall one piece of clothing at a time.

This is what I was wondering in my original thread...

To be honest, I haven't paid that much attention or tried to cycle out clothing on purpose. My experience with it is that I gave Katt a sweater dress that I thought was super cute that wasn't her style. I didn't really like her in it (and neither did she). I've only seen her wear it once since I have given her at least three other shirts in her preferred style.

I am trying to cycle Flora's polkadot dress out of her clothing rotation, but I haven't figured out what she likes to wear yet (read: haven't looked it up). I've only given her two items of clothing and I noticed that she wears the silver flapper dress a whole lot more than her regular clothing.
