Vintage Simstress

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 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,

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

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... I made a new thing. Another wi

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.

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! Here comes my second Simblreen treat and at the same time my first 1830s creation: an 1830 mourning dress. Yes, I know that the inspo picture clearly calls it a ‘walking dress‘, but the one I found especially for mourning looks almost exactly the same - and I decided to make this one ju

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

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

03.10.2020 edit: updated with new CAS placement 02.09.2020 edit: It turned out the dress had some nasty problems with lower LODs, which should be fixed now. Please redownload! Hopefully now it'll look fine from any distance :) *** Hi everyone, It's been some time! I'm sorry for that long silence - f

Hi everyone! Lately I was working a bit on my decades challenge - more specifically, on my og sims and their background. I created extensive family trees for both of them, invented a whole bunch of new characters and in general was proceeding really well, but when I wanted to finally make those ance

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 Summer collection pt. 4 Hi everyone! Remember my last piece? I converted it for children and edited a bit, so that it'd be more accurate. It seems that bathing suits for children always had shorter sleeves than the ones for adults: when adults wore long sleeves, children wore short, when adu

Surprisingly, even though it comes from mid-1880s, it doesn't really have a bustle. Just an average, soft sk

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. Same swatches as the original pieces - you can check them HERE and HERE. It's my first toddler conversi

Not exactly commissioned, but suggested by the one and only Bats from Westeros - and that's where the name of this set comes from. No worries,

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

03.10.2020 edit: Sims wearing v2 of the dress won't suddenly turn all glossy (and lose their hands) when you zoom out anymore. Fixed some unwelcome spikiness in lower lods of both versions as well.

03.10.2020 edit: Fixed a problem with spikes appearing when zooming out. Please redownload! 30.07.2020 edit: The dress should now look good on sims of all body types - the weird crease under the belly is gone. I also made a new bump map, so it looks more natural, not as blocky as it used to. Please
