Farewell & 5000+ followers gift: 1890s dresses for girls

Hello everyone!

It took me some time, but it's finally here. The one thing I've always been saying that I want to make and yet I constantly kept postponing it: 1890s dresses for girls! As in my whole 'career' I made only one such dress, and a long time ago, I thought it's be nice to create a mini-set this time - you know, as a small goodbye gift. To fill the gap and give your little sims some more options to choose from :).

All 3 pieces are variations of the same mesh (common features: round neckline and a belt), but somehow I have a feeling that they ended up looking quite different from each other. At least I hope so!

Dress no. 1 comes in 51 plaited patterns. From bright and summery through toned down to solemn and gothy; from posh through ordinary to almost drab. Very universal imho. Here's a small selection of the swatches - but keep in mind it's not even 1/3 of them all:

Dress no. 2 is probably the most elegant, with some satin-like shine. Comes in 27 swatches:

The belt in dress no. 1 is by default black, in dress no. 2 - white. However, you can also download a belt overlay (one for both dresses), found under tights. Above you can see some of the overlay swatches in action!

Dress no. 3 is technically not a dress, but a blouse and skirt combo. It comes in 23 basic swatches: with white blouse and different skirt colours.  I made another overlay though, this time for the blouse, which comes in 20 swatches. You can mix and match however you want. Once again, found under tights.

  • polycounts: no. 1 and 2 - around 7K, no. 3 - almost 10K (watch out, this may be high for some people! It's all those teeny tiny ruffles...)

  • Base Game compatible

  • HQ mod compatible (pictures taken with the mod)

  • all LODs

  • custom thumbnails, bump and specular maps, some shine here and there

  • found under long and short dress subcategory (dress no. 3 only under short)

  • colour tagged

  • dress no. 1 and 3 use glass shader / transparency - won't work properly in laptop mode!

  • PDNs and PSDs for recolours (only for the basic packages, no overlays) included - you don’t need them for the meshes to work.

Known problems: some ruffles clipping in case of dress no. 3 in certain positions, but I think most of the time it looks good enough to give it a pass. Let me know if you notice anything else.

Hope you'll like it, enjoy!
