1858 bathing suit for women

Vintage Summer collection pt. 2

Hi everyone!

It finally happened: I left 1890s for once and made a piece from another decade! You can thank Sims to Maggie ;). It was one of the most difficult pieces I ever attempted, mostly because of my total noobness when it comes to those huge, mid-century skirts, but I think it ended up looking quite nice.

Comes in 12 swatches, mostly in the Moody Victorian Colour Palette by Lunedsims: 

• Base Game compatible
• HQ mod compatible
• all LODs
• custom thumbnail, bump and specular maps, some metallic shine on the buckle
• tagged as everyday and swimwear
• found under swimsuit subcategory
• colour tagged
• disallowed for random
• PDN for recolours included - you don’t need it for the mesh to work!

I spent lots of time adjusting weights and vertex paint, so that the skirt wouldn't behave like if it was skin-tight, but still would move in a smooth way, without clipping with the bloomers - and I think I mostly succeeded. There's just a tiny bit of bloomer clipping left, a little bit of moving with body sliders and just a little bit of going up when sims sit down. Most of the time it doesn't even clip with tables - it happens only if your sim is really huge:

(Those were still testing textures, the final version looks slightly different).

Also, that fringe trim is going all around the skirt(s). It's gone on the previews because that was the only way to get rid of the remains of the greenscreen, but I swear in reality it's there - as you can see above.

Hope you'll find it useful, enjoy!
