1898 Bella dress

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. Please redownload! 

30.07.2020 edit:

Fixed a couple of issues with both versions of the dress:

• it won't explode when you zoom out any more
• the ugly skin-colour lines between separate parts on the mesh should be gone
• new, smoother bump map, so it should look less 'blocky'

Please redownload!

I added v2 of the dress, this time with satin textures! That's how I imagined this dress from the start, just lacked the skills to do it. It's a new file, so it won't overwrite the old one; if you want to, you can keep both in your game. I left v1 in case someone prefers it less shiny. Enjoy!

Hi everyone!

Sometimes, when I browse through fashion plates in search of some inspiration, I stumble across pieces which seem to be perfect for a certain sim from my story. And this red dress... It just screamed Bella Goth. It was too perfect to not answer its calling. So... Here it is! Yet another 1898 dress (what is it with 1898? Why do all the coolest designs come from this year only?)

Comes in 26 swatches. I tried to make them as versatile as possible: saturated dark colours, subdued dark colours, pastels, some saturated & bright combos... Could be worn by sexy widows, witches, aristocratic ladies and Sailor Moon - anyone should find something they'll like.

V1:

V2:

• polycount: ca. 12K
• Base Game compatible
• HQ mod compatible (pictures taken with the mod)
• all LODs
• custom thumbnail, bump and specular maps, some gentle shine
• tagged as casual, party, hot weather and witch
• found under long dress subcategory
• colour tagged
• allowed for random
• PDN for recolours included - you don’t need it for the mesh to work. If you want to recolour v2, you need to add the 'Satin' file as a top layer and change it to 'overlay'.

A close-up of some of the details:

I haven't spotted any problems, but please let me know if you encounter any!

Hope you'll like it, enjoy :)
