How to prepare your dragoness for the winter
A good Winter with a proper amount of snow, can be a great opportunity to take your little one out to play! However, it is not easy for most cold-blooded reptiles, even a big strong dragoness can have a hard time having fun playing in the snow if she is freezing her tail off!
Well, no worries! because today, I've prepared a little tutorial on how to properly dress up your dragoness for the cold, so that she can have just as much fun as the other kids! Now... this isn't a full guide, and you can add even more layers or even modify some of the steps if you like!
Step 1:
Extra Thick Diapers! A long day out leaves little time for changes! feel free to add more layers of diapers if you want! just make sure she can still walk.
Step 2:
A cute and cuddly onesie, or a thick diaper cover to protect her diaper from the snow! cold tushies are not fun! So be sure to protect your little one's bottom!
Step 3:
Something to cover her upper body, it can be a coat, a jacket, or whatever you wish so long as it's warm enough for her, a scarf also helps in protecting her neck from the cold.
Step 4:
Tail socks are important! As tails can get cold too! try to find one that covers her tail all the way, you don't want her to keep hugging it to get warm, or hiding it somewhere that can't be touched by the cold winds, you can even find unique socks for tails with spikes or fins!
Step 5:
Booties! frostbite is an awful thing, so cover up those toesies of hers! You should also find ones with good grip as pavements covered in snow and ice can be slippery! You wouldn't want your baby to fall down on her bum now would you?
Step 6:
Mittens! Or even just winter gloves, same as step 5, but for her hands. If she wishes to play around in the snow and make snowballs or build a snowman, these will make things much easier, as it won't feel like she's touching ice all the time!
Optional:
Head and ear protection! If your dragoness has large ears, be sure to give her some earmuffs or ear socks to keep them warm! Freezing ears are often overlooked, and many don't realize before it's too late! So wear some before you head out!
Stay safe and have fun out there!

Looks SOOOOO cute and cozy!
Just one little detail: When she wears the onesie, it looks kinda like the diaper just vanished. There is a nice, thick bulk missing in the outfit.

Does this method also work with male dragon hatchlings? Or perhaps an even more comfy (and cute) procedure is in order?
This is a quality guide for cold-blooded tykes in need of some assistance to keep from falling into a hibernation / sleep state when in the cold for too long.

If I may add the addition of a thermal diaper cover to help contain the heat that is usually built up around the waist region? A thick night diaper that is plastic-backed will be super helpful in acting as a wind breaker, in more ways than one. However an insulated diaper cover will make sure that optimal heat is retained for any young reptile out in the snow. A warm pack can even be opened and inserted between the outer diaper and inner diaper to help build heat that will radiate into the upper-thighs and lower belly.
Lots of heat is often lost from atop the head. So an adorable beanie, which could also offer some ear protection, would be super awesome.
Lastly, as a delightful courtesy, a fire should be made to allow our cold blooded friends a place to warm their bodies while also providing warm water to make hot cocoa, baked cinnamon apples, etc. Warm apple cider can also be put on a hanging pot to provide warmth the young dragon, dinosaur, lizard, etc. can indulge in to feel full, happy, and warm both inside and out. :)

Alicia is actually wearing a beanie with a pom pom in the picture, I just didn't add it in my description.
Also, you made some great points about diapers for winter.
I've never been to a place where it snowed before, however I have experienced cold weather while my family took a vacation in South Korea, so my knowledge on this stuff is limited.

Well, truly, snow and the amount of cold to make it possible are no fun UNLESS you are a fan of building snowmen, skiing, creating igloos, and/or winter sports, like ice skating and sledding.
For me, since losing all my sight, I find snow more of a pain than fun. It makes it harder to use blind tools, like a cane and Seeing Eye Dog, to get around due to how snow is much like mud when it comes to making your way through it.
The other trouble is that, if you are in an area where the temperature gets cold and snow does not accumulate a lot, you cannot have much fun with it. This means you get cold while having nothing fun to do as a result of having too little snow for snowball fights and the like.

As you mentioned South Korea, I cannot help but think of how nice it would be to visit New Zealand. I've heard that the birds there are not afraid of humans. I, no surprise, really love birds and would love to get closer to my feathered friends. I think getting to meet a Kiwi would be fun as, based on research, they sound like a chicken that is more capable of living in the wild.

Step 1: Diaper is spot on. Other steps could be replaced by "wear a space suit" for more practicality. As someone whose ancestors come from a very warm climate and got forcibly relocated somewhere with occasionally very harsh winters, I can say with certainty that no amount of regular clothing is going to help if you're actually trying to stay warm in icy conditions. Unless you have something like a space suit, which is actually designed for that sort of thing. 42 years of hating winter, because "just add more layers" doesn't work if your body isn't cold-tollerant.
