The White Mage Dress, previously known as Whitemage Dress, is a recurring piece of female armor in the Epic Battle Fantasy series; it appears in Epic Battle Fantasy 3 and 4, and an outfit very similar to it is worn by Natalie in the original Epic Battle Fantasy. While it has no official hat counterpart, the Star Hairclip (in EBF3) and Nurse Hat (3 and 4) could be considered counterparts due to their similar aesthetics and effects.
The White Mage Dress is a conservative white dress with pink ruffles down the front and red accents on the bottom edges of the sleeves and skirt. It also has red ribbons tied around the waist and chest, a short scarf with a white-and-pink triangle design, pink stockings, and brown boots.
The White Mage Dress is an all-round defensive armor that provides the wearer with medium boosts to both Defence and Magic Defence, as well as slight increases of HP and MP. It protects the user against Freeze, becoming fully immune to the status when fully forged.
Epic Battle Fantasy 3[]
The Whitemage Dress has average defenses and a little HP and MP, giving Natalie a good amount of staying power. When fully forged, it also has a chance to cast Regen between turns, allowing Slime Bunny to support Natalie and her allies with a small heal and five turns of Regen status. Combined with its resistances, it's effective at greatly reducing the threat of Freeze in Glacier Valley if the player manages to max it out before then.
Compared to the likes of the Cow Costume, the Green Dress, and the Pope Dress, the Whitemage Dress's main niche as a defensive armor is its ability to auto-cast Regen, giving it the most party utility.
The Whitemage Dress is resistant to Freeze and Holy, becoming immune to the first at Level 5.
Epic Battle Fantasy 4[]
The White Mage Dress has a good balance of Defence and Magic Defence, as well as the distinction of being the only female armor to increase both HP and MP (albeit slightly). It can increase the wearer's Magic Defence even further if she takes a powerful attack, making it particularly good for battles against foes with strong magical offenses.
As a Freeze-resistant armor, the White Mage Dress is similar to the Santa Outfit, but with an HP boost instead of Magic Attack, slightly weaker defenses, an auto-buff instead of an auto-skill, and a different elemental resistance.
The White Mage Dress is resistant to Freeze and Dark, but only the first becomes an immunity at Level 5.

Trivia[]
Natalie's "prototype" White Mage Dress in EBF1
The White Mage Dress seems to be based on Natalie's outfit from the original Epic Battle Fantasy, with the main differences being that the midriff is covered by more pink ruffles and its scarf is shorter, thicker, and with pink triangles instead of red.
