1841 ball gown

Some time ago (two weeks? Three? Is time even real?) I received an ask if I could make an 1840s ball gown - and as I'm slowly but steadily falling in love with this decade (so little crazy deco! Such simple patterns!), I decided to really do it. Yes, it's the same skirt again, I warned you :P. Now that I see it right next to the inspo picture, I probably should've made it a bit fuller... Oh well, too late - we have to live with what we've got ;).

Comes in 26 swatches, this time only in shiny satin version:

• polycount: ca. 10K

• Base Game compatible

• sleeves use transparency - won't work properly in laptop mode

• HQ mod compatible (...although it's playing tricks on me again, so pics taken without it)

• all LODs

• custom thumbnail, bump and specular maps, lots of shine on everything

• tagged as everyday, formal and party

• found under long dresses subcategory

• colour tagged

• disallowed for random

• PDN and PSD for recolours included - you don’t need them for the mesh to work

Known problems: some clipping if your sims move their arms too much, especially if they've got big breasts and lots of body fat. Also, the 'collar' gets a bit deformed while changing the breasts' size. I did what I could to get rid of both problems and I think it ended up working fairly well, but it's not perfect. If I ever learn of a way to improve it, you can rest assured - I will ;).

Hope you'll like it, despite the small imperfections. Enjoy!
