1894 AF dress

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 can have both them and the previous version(s) in your game, but I don't really see what for :P.

This is just a 'critical error fix'. I haven't touched the textures & bump map, the dress still isn't hq compatible. If I ever decide to upgrade those things, it'll be a full-blown re-release, and the final result will probably differ quite strongly from what you're getting now. It was my very first piece and I've learned lots since then, so obviously it's not necessarily up to my current standards... But until I make something better, it'll do.

EDIT: added a version without the bottom ribbons (V2) and without ribbons or those oval-shaped decorations (V3) + made small corrections to the textures (more specifically, the neck ribbon - you might want to redownload :))

I'm finally ready to share my first 1890s creation! It's heavily inspired by a picture found on the amazing Femmes en 1900 site (just type any year you're interested in in the Recherche box and enjoy the beauty :) ). I mean, quite obviously, the one on the right:

Comes in all the colours I ever saw on 1890s fashion plates; 14 swatches altogether, including a solemn black one.

Works for all body types.

All LODs included.

Known problems: the ribbons get a bit distorted when sims sit down and look pretty riddiculous when they walk. Unfortunately I don't think it's any solvable - TS4 in general is not very long-dress-friendly and even the Maxis made ones look weird in certain positions. On the other hand, one has to look really closely to notice something's off, so I hope it won't disturb you much.

Also, the top ribbon at the back gets stretched if you set body weight on max. It's just a bit of a stretch, nothing critical, so I hope you won't mind it too much - as (at least for now) I have no idea how to fix it.

It's been playtested, of course, but if you notice any problems I haven't, please let me know! Also, it's my first CC piece ever, so please have some understanding if it's not perfect.
