Cemetery Grotesque Cosmetic toggle option
I really like the Cemetery Grotesque Cosmetic for Sable Ward, but the large bright blue wings make the survivor much more visible during matches and can put players at a stealth disadvantage. Would it be possible to add a toggle or alternate style option to remove the wings while keeping the main outfit? I think this would improve customization and make the cosmetic more practical for gameplay while still keeping the design players love. Thank you for considering the feedback

Outfits with bright colors and shiny attachments like glowing wings/tails, are for flex, not stealth. They're basically a big bright banner in all caps saying "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!", or in essence a statement that you are so good at chases/looping that you're bold enough to stand out, and won't even try to sneak around. If you're not that good at looping, or just prefer a stealthier approach, as good as the cosmetic is, it's not your best option. I'm not trying to gatekeep here, tbh I main killer, and I have learned to avoid the flashy outfits and go for the more normal or muted colored ones, because I know the bright ones are on players who want me to chase them first, whereas the more normal/muted ones tend to be easier to catch.
This is my own opinion of course, and may not be true for everyone, but so far from my experiences… it's mostly true. Sometimes I do run into the occasional Flashy player who is much worse at chases than their teammates, but this is much more rare for me. However in High SBMM/MMR matches, it doesn't matter what cosmetics they bring, I just know I'm in for a rough time if I'm not playing any of the A-S tier killers.
Seeing as you're new to the forums and this is your first post, I feel obligated to warn you that most Survivor players/mains are very vocally opposed to Stealth Favoring survivors, who they often call "Rats" due to their habits of hiding in corners, not doing gens, or going for rescues in order to try and survive the trials… There is a good way to play survivor stealthily, but it's very rare to meet a good one vs a rat. They may assume you to be one, and respond in kind with some vitriol while encouraging you to play more brazenly and take more risks.
Bottom line: Welcome to the forums, there's nothing wrong for wanting to play stealthily, but a flashy cosmetic won't help that playstyle no matter how much you like it, so save it for a bold playstyle rather than stealth, and ignore any criticism you may get from other survivor players who might harangue you for choosing stealth over boldness. Play however you want to play and enjoy the game!😊
Edit: Also, Fortunately for you, the outfit is not a tie in to any licenses like many of the recent Darkest Dungeon themed cosmetics are, so The devs may actually consider you're request, but, sigh… it's unlikely unless the request gets a lot of support, so I voted up your post, and hopefully many supporters will agree and follow in suit.

Agreeing with the previous reply, the idea is that when you use cosmetics you choose between style and stealth.
Bright outfits to grab the killers attention and encourage chase, more muted ones to allow you to hide more effectively.

Pretty much this yeah.
Outfits like "Winged Sable". "Pixel Feng" and "Kitsune Yui" (you know which ones I mean), are definitely visually loud, and meant to draw attention.0
