Followers don't stay dressed in Skyrim [duplicate]

Im on Xbox, for any follower I have, Housecarl, Steward, no matter what I give them, they don't stay dressed, I made Uthgerd my house steward, and she wear's steel plate armor, so I give her Daedric armor, and they put it on for the moment, I let her leave my service, she still has it on, but whenever I leave the room, it seems something about a loading screen makers her go back to her other armor, and she doesn't put her better Daedric armor back on until I trade with her and take something or add something random to her inventory, then it "Refreshes" I guess you could say. I've been spending forever crafting Daedric and Dragon armor for my Housecarls and Stewards because I want awesome guards patrolling my house, but the fact they wont wear it once I leave, kinda ruins all my efforts, and is a complete waste of all the materials I've spent. Any weapon I give them stays on them, and they use it, I've even pick pocketed their default armor and it end up coming right back into their inventory.

NPCs that aren't currently following you will re-equip their default armor after you re-enter their cell. There is no way to change this behavior except for mods.

How do you make followers wear what you want Skyrim?

You give your follower a set of armor and they gladly wear it. When you send them home and go back to collect them later they are wearing their default armor set. You then have to look in their inventory and take something out and put it back in for them to wear it again.

Why do my followers keep disappearing Skyrim?

You just need to be patient... Make sure you have a save available before he disappeared, then do what Purrington said, or wait for three days. By then, it should say "Your follower tires of the waiting" or something like that, in which case he will return to his starting place.

Can you have two followers at once in Skyrim?

You can only have one follower at a time: if you want a different one, you need to dismiss the first one before you recruit them. There is one exception to this: there are situations when you already have a follower when a person needs to join you for something quest-related.
