Hi everyone!
It's been a busy month so far, so instead of meshing something new I decided to give one of my first creations a quick upgrade. Originally I planned just to replace the textures of this folk dress with HQ ones, but, of course, I got caught up in the process and remade half of the mesh as well (-.-).
I won't be removing the old version, as, with all its flaws, it's probably more maxis match, so maybe some people would prefer it over the new one. I guess it's always better to have a choice, right? In any case, you can find the old version HERE.
What's changed in the new version?
- better, sharper, HQ textures
- more natural, less saturated colours
- completely new skirt mesh - made from scratch, so closer to how it probably should look like
- small changes to the rest of the mesh (e.g. more natural-looking sleeves, some weird loose vertices removed etc)
- a REAL, proper bump map (you don't want to know how I used to make bump maps back then... you really don't)
- new, way more natural looking textures of binding (that part holding the corset together)
- the collar is now a separate cut and uses transparency = won't be displayed correctly in laptop mode
Here's a side-by-side comparison:

Comes in 17 swatches. Just as in the previous version, the differences between them are sometimes very small, but I swear each swatch is in some way different ;)

- Base Game compatible
- HQ mod compatible (pictures taken with the mod)
- all LODs
- custom thumbnail, bump and specular maps, no shine
- tagged as casual, formal, party and hot weather
- found under long dress subcategory
- colour tagged
- disallowed for random
- PDN for recolours included - you don't need it for the mesh to work.
Hope you agree with me that the new version is an improvement - and that at least some of you will find some use for it in your saves, even though it's such a niche item! Enjoy :)
PS. It's 'YF' because it's supposed to be worn only by maidens - for married women it was inappropriate to run around with their corsets in full view. Yes, of course I have the 'adult' version on my to-do list :)
