Vintage Simstress

The outfit which was originally intended as a default replacement for babies/newborns, then (after Nifty Knitting made the og plan impossible) converted for toddlers, now brought back (almost) to it's original form! Just as the toddler version, it comes in 2 lengths: almost floor-length, as seen in

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-se

Hi everyone! The moment I saw this beautiful dress from May 1896 I knew that as soon as May arrives, I'll have to make it. I feel like I still didn't do those sleeves justice - they are too extra to replicate them properly! Still, I think those are the biggest sleeves I've ever seen on a TS4 outfit,

Hello everyone! Here comes a little late Easter gift for you: a shiny 1895 dress for your vintage sims. The inspo picture shows the model in nature, so I assume it means it was supposed to be worn outside, as a walking/promenade dress. It comes from an 1895-97 collection - pinning it down exactly as

Hi everyone! Here comes another dress for your sims, inspired by a fashion plate from the very first day of 1890. To distinguish it from the previous one, I call this one 'the hornet dress'. Guess why ;) Comes in 26 swatches - mostly rather darkish, as the original was designed for winter: polycount

Hello everyone! The lack of vintage hats is sad, but the total lack of Victorian hats for non-adults is just depressing. I don't know about you, but I have literally one hat for girls in my game which kiiind of works - but it's pretty weird that every single girl in my save wears it. And as lately I

Hello everyone! One of my biggest pet-peeves when watching others play the decades challenge (please don't hate me for it, I swear it's more of a 'sigh, again' than 'lmao you moron, what are you even doing') is when people put their 1890s sims in clearly Edwardian clothes, because 'it looks simpler'

Vintage Winterwear Collection pt. 17 Hi everyone! (And hello dear new patrons! I'm horrible at patreon communication, but I just wanted to let you know that I see you, I appreciate you and I'm always very grateful for your support, no matter how big or small :) ) So...

Happy New Year everyone! Best 2021 wishes to you all! For sure you've already heard enough wishes of health and safety, so I'll go for something else instead: to quote ABBA, may we all have our hopes, our will to try, because if we don't we might as well lay down and die. Let's all do our best to st

Hi everyone! This outfit was supposed to be a baby. Yep, you read that correctly. The queen of medieval conversions @simverses once figured out how one could replace the in-game baby mesh with a new one and asked me if I could make some clothes for it. And so I did - but when our Victorian baby was

Hello everyone, I'm finally back! Well, sort of. Today I bring you something special: two 1890s wedding gowns, based on designs from, respectively, 1890 and 1894. Originally it was supposed to be a set of three dresses, but with everything going on in my life right now I can't see myself finishing d

Hi everyone! A couple of days ago I watched a cool documentary about late XIX / early XX century painters from modern day Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, and immediately thought it'd be great to have all those beautiful pictures in The Sims. It took me some time (recolouring is easy, but sooooo boooo

Today I bring you something I've been planning on making for ages: an artistic / aesthetic / reform(ish) dress for your sims. It's not a full blown reform gown - th

Hi everyone! I felt like creating more day dresses for my sim ladies and somehow ended up making an outfit for boys. Don't ask. I blame it all on that vaguely Chinese hat - I've already seen something very similar once and almost made it back then, so when I spotted it in yet another fashion plate I

Vintage Winterwear Collection pt. 16 Hi everyone! I got a bit bored with all the swimsuits (plus all of a sudden I feel a strong need to proceed with my save, and it's still winter there...), so I decided to finally convert two of my winter coats for boys into coats for toddlers. Come in the same sw

Vintage Winterwear Collection pt. 13 Hi everyone! I finally dared to venture into the dangerous territory of toddler conversions. Here come both of my coats for girls, converted for toddler girls.

Vintage Winterwear Collection pt. 12 Hi everyone! Welcome to another episode of 'I have no time for proper meshing, so I'm just making quick stuff instead'.

Hi everyone! Lately I received an ask about vintage nightshirts for boys - if I could make one or if I know where to find one - and I realised that indeed, it's a much needed item for historical gameplay. Actually, it made me recall that I was struggling myself with sleepwear for my eldest boy since

I also made a new bump map, so it looks more natural, not as blocky as it used to. Please

Vintage Winterwear Collection pt. 11 Hello everyone! Here comes another winter coat for your Victorian boys. This piece has a kind of funny backstory: when I just started working on my previous coat for boys and felt utterly unmotivated to do it, I went to our Sims of History Discord, posted my refe

Vintage Winterwear Collection pt. 10 Hello everyone, happy April Fools! Wishing you all only genuinely funny jokes today and no silly / disappointing / annoying ones.

Back when I was looking for inspiration for THIS gown, I accidentally stumbled upon a morning robe for men and thought - hey, why not? I know we got a kind of similar one with Vintage Glamour, but somehow I can't get to like it, so I decided it wouldn't hurt to make my own version. The design comes

a.k.a. Vintage Winterwear Collection pt. 8 Hi everyone! Winter is slowly coming to an end (finally!) and so is my winterwear project (finally!). It's still not the last cold weather piece I've got planned, but it is the last one for men. This time it's supposed to be an ulster, so basically - accord

Vintage Winterwear Collection pt. 7 Hi everyone! Here comes my quickest creation ever - done in a couple of hours. If only all pieces were that simple! It's basically a top from my 1st winter coat for men, with a different collar and some small adjustments, so that all those buttons would fit in all

A.k.a. Vintage Winterwear Collection pt. 5 Hi everyone! Here's another coat for your 1890s girls. Now, if you're thinking 'but it looks exactly like the previous one!', you're not too far off - I did indeed use last week's coat as a base for this one, so the general shape looks very similar. There a

Morning everyone! Here comes another 1890s coat for your male sims. As you can see, even though it's made of wool, the cut resembles rather a suit than a coat - therefore, I'd say it's appropriate mostly for fashion victims, whose main goal, even during winter, is to look as handsome as possible. Or

Hi everyone! Here comes part 2 of my late XIX-century Polish paintings' collection. Same authors as last time (I think only Ms. Bilińska didn't make it this time? Apparently she wasn't much into landscapes...), same price (1455 simoleons), base game compatible. Just as in case of pt. 1, the main col

Hi everyone! I got a bit tired and frustrated with difficult CAS stuff, so I decided to do something easy and unproblematic for once. It's a simple recolour of BG pictures; I kept the original frames and replaced the pictures with a selection of works by late XIX century Polish painters. I went for

Hello everyone! It's part 3 of my Vintage Winterwear collection. This time a little something for your 1890s girls! The original came from 1895, to be precise, but kids' fashion wasn't changing as fast as adults', so I think it should work for almost the whole decade. The only difference would be th

Vintage winterwear collection pt 2 Men need something to wear in the cold season as well, right? It's a cosy, woollen coat, I'd say appropriate for medium-rich male sims, whose priority in winter is first and foremost to stay warm.

04.10.2020 edit: improved the coat to get rid of spikes in lower lods + updated all pieces with a new CAS placement.

I received some requests to convert my TF dress for girls, so here it is! Comes in the same swatches as the toddler version. HQ compatible, custom everything, no shine (it's wool, duh). Known problems: the sleeves clip with the body if the sim is standing still. Looks especially silly in CAS. It's a

As promised, a very non-folky dress this time. For your toddler girls, as they need something to wear in the winter season as well! I was aiming at a simsy remake of the 2nd dress from the top: It's supposed to be made of serge, so I really used a serge texture as a base. And fedora for the frill at

I started working on this dress when I had literally one follower and I was sure no one cares what I'm going to create. Now I feel really awkward, as I bet you guys expected more pretty high-society dresses rather than Polish folk nonsense. Oh well. Here it is anyway :P. If you google "Polish folk d

A dress for your XIX century toddler girls, inspired by a real, 1897 portrait by Józef Pankiewicz. The sleeves are not as cool and crazy as in the original, as I was afraid of some major clipping happening in there; still, they are the biggest puffed sleeves I've ever seen on any TS4 toddler outfit

05.10.2020 edit: one of the versions of the dress was exploding when you zoomed out. I don't even remember which one tbh, I just remade all 3. Updated them with a new CAS placement as well. Please redownload! Watch out: the filenames have changed! Those are new clones/packages, so technically you ca
