That's not a typo on the title, this is about many Farmer Bobbis as at least 5 exist in the canonical Bobbiverse. Why yes I am making some of this up as I go, and yes some of this exists elsewhere but a very kind @Yogurt_The_Cow suggested making a post on Bobbi's fashions so here we are!
Bobbi la Primera (Cooper Farm)
Early Farmer Bobbi existed in about 1BC so her options were very limited. This may conjure the following image in your mind:
However this is slightly inaccurate as 1BC refers to 1 version Before Clothing update v1.4. She moved to Pelican Town in v1.3.27 and had neither any idea how to choose clothing for herself but also no way to fix her poor choices after the fact. So she was stuck with this on her first trip to Stardew:
Somehow this Farmer managed to convince Penny to get married. Yes, to Bobbi! This outfit was my first pfp here many moons ago in 2020 but after the update to v1.4 added Tailoring, Bobbi came up with this absolutely amazing fashion statement:
Which she still wears to Penny's endless chagrin as that save was 'done' after a 4 candle Grandpa Evaluation, the nominal endpoint to the game at the time. Being a very slow learner, Bobbi was unimpressed with the new Tailoring options because wow recoloring 14 pixels woooow. Also Bobbi only had Ancient Fruit and Torches in her inventory, ya gotta make do with what you have. This was also my pfp here for quite a while. Yes, I chose this and replaced the above one with this. Is anyone still reading because you should be questioning my sanity.
She managed one more outfit though:
Maybe an improvement, but she went back to the one above because?!????
Bobbi II Electric Boogaloo (Flim Flam Farm)
The Bobbiverse expanded thanks to continuous gushing comments from the SDV Forum Cult of Abigail. Farmer Bobbi again moved from Zuzu City to Pelican Town in search of this mythical person she'd only heard legends about on the internet. What does one wear when in search of rock-eating monsters? The true answer is wrapped in the mists of forgotten time but her best recall puts it at one of these 2:
Bobbi's personality before arriving in the Valley tended heavily towards the skull option but the point of making a new start is to change, so it's likely the heart was her original Pelican Town shirt. Many mistakes were made, including Grandpa leaving her a Hilltop Farm in the first place, though marrying Abigail was achieved. In an ill-fated attempt to convert the farmland to a more arable nature, late one dark moonless night Bobbi tried to cast runes and evoke spells long laid dormant and utterly ruined her farmland. This tale is available here: Mountains Rose and Fell.
Once that ordeal was over Farmer Bobbi was finally able to make headway on her only slightly used and really minimally-mangled farm and proceeded to dress mostly to annoy Abby into chasing her around in an attempt to remove the offending clothing. Some of Bobbi's "best" annoy-choices:
The last one is her current look, loving the shabby track suit aesthetic. To be fair, all these outfits bother Abby just the right kind of way which makes for fun writing (for me!) in the 'Mountains' story. However Bobbi II's most familiar look derives once again from this Forum, but this time from being contrary: someone said the Bridal Veil isn't for everyday wearing.
Oh yeah??!?
Bobbi rocked that look for years, just because:
Of all Bobbi outfits, this is the probably most iconic because after a particular story here: Buttertoes, an inspired @FairyRing drew this:
Read the story if you want context.
I'll just mention Bobbi III in 3D (not really but that'd be cooool) in passing as she's the subject of a long winded story here but as that never even made it out of Spring, Bobbi didn't make any outfits yet. However this story is the basis for all my Valley Lore as I needed to make a backstory for everyone and the Valley itself along with past history to explain things. So it still lingers to inform any crazy theories you might hear.
That bit of writing succumbed to scope-creep which this post has now joined. The current dozens of looks that the Fifth of Bobbi has gone overboard with, which Yogurt_The_Cow requested, will need to wait for next post as this one has gone on long enough!
