Vintage Simstress

05 January 2025 edit: both tartan versions updated to work with dx11 (i.e. to show proper swatch icons instead of llamas). Please redownload! *** It took me way much longer than it should've, but it's finally here. The first - hopefully not the last - cape from Crusader Kings 3, converted for TS4. A

Happy New Year everyone! I woke up today and thought that a beginning of a new year is a good moment to finally release this dress, which has been sitting in my WIPs forever. Something new for a change: a wedding gown inspired by a rl one from 1925. It was originally made extra for Zelda Darlington

TSR's latest collection prompted me to finally finish a thing which was sitting in my WIPs' folder for months. I'd been hoping to make some more add-ons for it, but let's face it: I lost my steam halfway through, it's not happening, so the best I can do is to release it as is. Still pretty good, I h

After my months-long Celtic spree, the time has come to briefly return to my old era of interest... May I present to you a small 1850s set, made together with amazing Ali, the author of @theroyalthornoliachronicles! We're both so excited to finally share it with you all 💗 Make sure to check Ali's p

The moment I saw this gorgeous gown I knew I had to try to remake it in more Iron-Age-y style. It was just too perfect! And so - here it is. With a shortened hem, covered décolletage and non-gathered, slightly trumpety sleeves. Recoloured in all 40 swatches of my Iron Age palette. Polycount: ca. 9K.

Every time I look at Sifix' creations I cry a little bit inside, as they're all so beautiful and yet completely not suited for any of my gameplays - be it Victorian or Iron Age. Last time it happened I got determined to find at least a couple of meshes which maaaaaybe could work if I tweaked them ju

Despite being called 'Egiptian', this recolour of this dress by Simalicious has always been one of my favourite outfits to use in my GBSC save. The only problem I had with it was that it came in so few colours...! And so, after some time - and especially after I developed my Iron Age palette - I dec

This post has been scheduled. I'm still very much on hiatus :] Surprise! We interrupt the hiatus to bring you part 1 of the Emma Collaboration Pack: a set of regency items - mostly pretty dresses - by Peebs, Bats from Westeros and yours truly. Make sure to check Peebs' and Bats' sites for their part

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,

04.05.2021 edit: added an add-on with different colours of the buttons, found under tights. It's not necessary, but might come in handy if you didn't like the original colour combos! *** Happy birthday @theroyalthornoliachronicles! This dress is dedicated to my friend Ali who's probably not having t

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

Vintage Winterwear Collection pt. 18 Hello everyone! Those of you who follow me on tumblr might have heard that I'm struggling with some personal stuff right now, but I still wanted to keep my promise of making at least one piece of cc per month. It was close, but somehow I managed to do it. So, her

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

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! Here's a little unexpected (even for me ^^) festive gift for you all :). I looked at the inspo photo and suddenly felt like that dress could be very easily done if I altered my 1830 mourning dress here and there - and I was right! From funerals through balls to weddin

Hi everyone! Every time after publishing something I think 'ok, that's enough Sims for this month', and yet I can't stop making new stuff ^^. It's a simple recolour of my yesterday's Maggie skirt. As mentioned, the skirt should be recolours-friendly, but that applies rather to floral than geometrica

Happy belated birthday @simstomaggie!!! So! I know I said I probably won't make any 1850s/1860s pieces, but yesterday I learned that my friend and fellow simmer Maggie just had her birthday, so I spontaneously decided to finally make her a mid-Victorian skirt for which she'd been asking me for ages.

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

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 t

Hi everyone! I found a cute design of another 1840s dress (accidentally also from 1843) and thought it looks so simple that it should be easy to squeeze it somewhere in between other projects. Some fighting was needed after all, so it wasn't as much of a 'small side project' as I had anticipated, bu

Good evening everyone! Here comes a remade version of the Slavic red beads which I originally published over a year ago. I adjusted the placement of the beads, so that they wouldn't clip with my Cuiavian winter outfit anymore, properly weight painted the 'Triple' and 'Lush' versions (I didn't like i

Hello everyone! Most of you probably don't know it, but today Germany celebrates a national holiday, commemorating the fact that on 03.10.1990, after decades of split into East and West, it once again became one country. And so I thought: when could be a better time to finally make that dirndl my fe

04.10.2020 edit: updated with new CAS placement Let me explain ^^.

This piece is now obsolete. An updated version can be found HERE. I told you accessories don’t count ;) I don’t actually know how universally ‘Slavic’ those beads are (plus I guess there must be a number of non-Slavic people who wear them as well), but in Poland they are a HUGE thing. Heck, even I,

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

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
