Oops, I meant to add what it actually does.

Yes, it's a copy/paste right out of the macro window.

What it does now in the three line version, is switch dresses between
only the red and the purple dresses. The black one never gets used. It
seems to be ignoring the last line.

I had an idea and played with it a little more and this:

/equip [equiped:Lovely Black Dress]Lovely Red Dress
/equip [equiped:Lovely Red Dress]Lovely Purple Dress
/equip Lovely Black Dress

Will switch between only the Purple and Black dress. Weird? Now it seems
to be ignoring the first line. Arr!

If someone has a way to pick a dress at random, that would be fine.

You can get an add on from curse gaming called closet gnome that will
switch whatever outfits you want at the click of a mouse.

I really hate to drag this out but here goes...
Copied directly from macro window, pasted to here:

/equip [equipped:Lovely Black Dress]Lovely Red Dress
/equip [equipped:Lovely Red Dress]Lovely Purple Dress
/equip [equipped:Lovely Purple Dress]Lovely Black Dress

The above switches between only the red and black dresses. <sigh>
I may have to give up. Now it's ignoring the middle line! Arr!

It's giving me a head ache! Thanks to both of you for pointing my
spelling error. I missed that!

The red and black are my favorites anyway. And I found if you also have
the "White Swashbuckler's Shirt", the dress looks even better! My
opinion and you're welcome to it.

Have you tried /castsequence command? Something like this:
/castsequence equip Lovely Red Dress,equip Lovely Purple Dress, equip
Lovely Black Dress

Dunno if it works, just an idea.

This macro...
/s Hello 1
/stopmacro
/s Hello 2
.... will show that macros are linearly parsed (it will never say
"Hello 2").

Since your two dress version worked, this might work

/equip [equipped:Lovely Black Dress]Lovely Red Dress
/stopmacro [equipped:Lovely Black Dress]
/equip [equipped:Lovely Red Dress]Lovely Purple Dress
/stopmacro [equipped:Lovely Red Dress]
/equip [equipped:Lovely Purple Dress]Lovely Black Dress

/castsequence above works great! Very short and simple. I thought that
was for "casting" so I didn't consider it. I even use /castsequence in a
couple of casting macros. I thought I had to use /equip.

Great tip on macro commands all being evaluated at the same time.

I also didn't want another add-on to do what seemed like a simple thing,
so I didn't consider that to be an option either.

Thank you Lewis. Thanks to all of you as well.
