Ok, the mistake here is thinking you're making three choices.
Nope, you're only making one.. which dress to wear based on what is
currently worn.

try this:
----------------------------
/use [equipped:Lovely Black Dress] Lovely Red Dress;[equipped:Lovely
Red Dress] Lovely Purple Dress;[equipped:Lovely Purple Dress] Lovely
Black Dress;
----------------------------------

A single decision, see? If wearing Black Dress, Wear Red Dress, if
wearing Red Dress, Wear Purple Dress, if wearing Purple Dress wear
Black Dress.

I note that later posts say the equipped clause requires an item-type,
but in your post you say the two-line version worked, so my macro
above should work too.

Please do let me know if this works... can't test it cos none of my
alts have that many dresses Smile

I'll be happy to try that as I'm always ready to see a new twist on
macros. Keep in mind though that this (below) works, is much simpler.
and its easy to read:

/castsequence Lovely Black Dress, Lovely Red Dress, Lovely Purple Dress

--
Hypanthia, Night Elf, Shadow Priest, Enchantress/Herbalist.
Darkfury, Gnome, Rogue, Miner/Jewel Crafter.
Py, Dwarf, Hunter, Herbalist/Alchemist.
Bigpotpie, Tauren, Hunter, Herbalist/Alchemist.
Bigpotpie, Tauren, Druid, Herbalist/Alchemist (Nathrezim realm).

Not the deadliest bunch on Cenarion Circle, but they do well.

Just tried the above, copied from here and pasted into a new macro.

What it did was post in guild chat "Lovely Red Dress" then "Lovely
Purple Dress" then "Lovely Black Dress" at each button click. Weird huh?
I checked for extra characters that got pasted and I checked to make
sure I pasted the right thing of course.

I had just texted into the guild channel so that is why the macro went
to the guild channel. I then posted to the trade channel and the macro
started posting "Lovely xyz Dress" there.

I have no idea why it would do this.

I switched back to:
/castsequence Lovely Black Dress, Lovely Red Dress, Lovely Purple Dress
And it continues to work fine.

what about a single line use macro? i.e.,

/use [equiped:Lovely Red Dress] Lovely Black Dress; [equiped:Lovely
Black Dress] Lovely Purple Dress; Lovely Red Dress

note that these were typed with no returns; all one line

I believe I tried that and it had a problem. I wish I could remember
what the problem was. You could check yourself easy enough by buying 3
cheap shirts or 2 if you already have one, and modifying the macro to
fit the shirts.

I have a single line macro that is much simpler and easier to read.
As posted above, this works perfectly:
/castsequence Lovely Black Dress, Lovely Red Dress, Lovely Purple Dress

If I could remember who posted it I would thank them again. I will
anyway! Thank you whoever you are!

Thanks for all the help, I have my solution.

The problem is that you cannot have [equiped:Lovely Red Dress] as a
condition. equipped is expecting an item type. e.g. Two-Handed
Swords.

Not that I am aware of.

It will. I have the PvP Raptor mount and the AV Wolf mount and I used
to have a /castsequence Raptor, Wolf macro. I changed it to /
castrandom because I was hardly ever seeing the wolf. (Due to using
my flying mount more)

Sure.. is there a default reset on /castsequence?

Yes, it always starts withthe first entry. I think what the OP wanted
was a decision based on what was currently being worn.
