That isn't how Transmog works. Â You don't lose the gear - period. Â You simply tell the Ethereal to replace the current model of the gear you're wearing with the model of another piece of gear you own. Â The gear is not destroyed in the process.
I second what Liadan said above, the way that Transmog works in WoW is simply that you're using the appearance of a piece of gear on another piece of gear and it doesn't destroy the original one in the process. The only limitations were of course that the gear had to be green or higher and that it had to be the same kind such as plate could only transmog with plate, etc. I honestly wouldn't mind seeing the same system on FFXIV, I liked WoW's system of transmog and the fees that you paid to perform the action weren't to bad. Not to mention you could reverse it if you changed your mind.
