1830 mourning dress (Simblreen 2020 treat #2)

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 just because I found it prettier... And less troublesome. I’m super glad that after all I managed to finish it on time!

Comes in 5 mourning or half-mourning swatches and one white-red one. The black swatches come with a little bonus: a sim wearing them will get a +1 sad buff! Recolours are highly welcome, but if you want to make it into a normal, happy dress, use the last (white-red) swatch as your clone - that’s the only one without the special tuning.

• polycount: ca. 7K
• Base Game compatible
• HQ mod compatible (pictures taken with the mod)
• all LODs
• custom thumbnail, bump and specular maps, no shine
• tagged as everyday and party
• found under long dresses subcategory
• colour tagged
• disallowed for random
• PDN for recolours included - you don’t need it for the mesh to work. Let me know if you’d rather have the PSD file!

Known problems: some clipping between the sleeves and the front deco - I guess that’s inevitable with such extreme puffs. Also, as I can’t (or don’t know how to do it) edit the custom moodlets which give your sim a sad buff, it’ll say that you’re wearing a sad panda hat. I wish I knew how to change it, but I don’t, so please just ignore it, ok?

Hope you like it, enjoy!

PS. The hairstyle used in the previews was made by Buzzard - you can find it HERE!

This piece, accidentally matching the current situation very well, comes with a special dedication to my beloved government, which I’d like to kindly ask to go PiSs itself. A week has passed since I first wrote this paragraph and, unsurprisingly, nothing changed in the meantime. Just stop guys. Just stop. Thank you.
