Re: Oh, look, you posted (heget here)
Date: 2013-01-23 05:42 pm (UTC)And I'm glad to hear I'm not the only person who thinks Aligeth's braises are too bulky. I know the AAS ones leave something to be desired, but I like how they look on a blockfoot speedo mesh... which is usually at least easy to beg for.
Chausses everywhere, because I'm re-doing my old sets in all 82 colors. *sobs gently* I'm looking forward to doing the top-and-bottom dresses, because they'll let me give this look without sticking people with my contrast color choices. (There will be plain shifts, and then there will be plain shifts with plackets on, and I'm trying to think about how to do half sleeves without just begging for an accessory to make it look right.
Wait, which site is this? Because there is a lot of argument about breast bands. We've got the Lengberg Castle finds now, which suggests actual bras (although I REALLY want to see the breast-bag styles on a dummy or something; as it stands they look kind of like a halter top). Matilda La Zouche seems to go the pinned-on stomacher route with her Burgundian gown, but I suspect a supportive kirtle like her blue underdress here could hold an ample bosom securely in place and still provide the same look. Different women may well have done it different ways.
I kind of like the loose sleeves on the original tunic-- I wish I could find more meshes in general with loose, straight sleeves. As far as Awesome Boots go, variations on the theme of short ankle boots with pointed-ish toes seem to have been very popular-- they're in a lot of artwork-- but they haven't turned up on any meshes yet. (Instead we get Aligeth's Robin Hood shoe, which isn't bad, but it isn't good, either.) I almost think if you did soled hosen (just good pointy toes and a bump map) on your shorter tunics, the ankle boots could be painted on convincingly enough (convincingly enough to get extra mileage out of a soled-hosen mesh, anyway, which a short but not Romeo short tunic is perfect for). For REALLY awesome boots that would probably require a little meshing, knee boots for hunting or thigh-high boots for riding are pretty darned awesome, and use the same basic shape of the ankle boot and the body of the poulaine.
Accessory shoes are a good idea in theory, but I don't know if I'm so keen on it in practice-- you have to have blockfoot versions of ALL your meshes for them to work, and you have to have custom CAS icons to see what you're adding to your Sim, and for folk who don't have Bon Voyage or prefer accessories to jewelry, there's the whole issue of the shoes showing up on outfits where they wouldn't be particularly appropriate, so you're always going to the mirror to change your Sim in and out of them. I'd be more inclined to try the trick I heard about where you can supposedly use SimPE to categorize separates as formal or outerwear; from what I hear, as long as you keep them binned as casual, too, they work just fine in other categories.
