In World 5, selections of garments are given to towns and are chosen through a voting based system, allowing personal alterations and styling to differ from person to person, using limited resources from the ban on fabric sales. Clothing is unisex, gender neutral, through styling and personal customizations to be made, natural dyeing of clothing maximizing the usage of all garments, further encouraging individuality and personal identity. As a result of restricted access to materials and resources, civilization has overcome social expectations and judgement to personal expression.
