Anyway, it happened again, I needed a thing and couldn't find it, so I made it. This time, a dress. Well, a skirt and a top that look like a dress. I should just show you the sales burble, shouldn't I?
Evelock Creed Dress
Often, I wind up making products because I have an idea for something and can't find anything to realise it in my inventory, nor in Marketplace. This is most especially true of clothing! I don't think I'm any more creative or clever in my ideas than anyone else, but I might have the edge on the stubborn-ness to cling to an idea rather than settle for something 'close enough'.
The Creed Dress is one of those occasions. I wanted formal wear, but I didn't want that over-polished, stiff, uncomfortable formal look. I wanted to feel like I could breathe and move freely in my outfit. So having found the right skirt, the hunt was on for the top that did the right thing. And finally, the textures had to be just right too. And, that is how the 'dress' was born. I made the Wisteria texture first, because I adore wisteria and had already made a fabric texture using them. I wore the dress to a party, and was told in no uncertain terms I had to sell it, which is how it got its name. Thank you, Anna :)
Naturally, more than one texture was needed, and 8 became the magic number. The options are:
Daisies with a fade from white to soft yellow/orange on the skirt
Hibiscus with a fade from white to strong magenta on the skirt
Pansies with a fade from white to violet on the skirt
Poppies with a fade from white to soft red on the skirt
Roses with a fade from white to deep pink/red on the skirt
Ticklish (feathers) with a fade from white to darkest grey on the skirt
Windclock (dandelions) with a fade from white to deep chambray blue on the skirt
Wisteria with a fade from white to purple on the skirt
It looks like a dress, but is actually a matched top and skirt, and you can wear both separately, I think the top looks super cute with shorts or jeans, or a little flippy skirt! Available in Maitreya, Slink Hourglass and Slink Physique sizes.
Materials enabled
Price: 200L$ per single colour, 900L$ per fatpack of 8 colours
So there you have it, a relaxed yet formal 'dress' which I hope you agree is perfect as we move through spring towards summer. Available, as always in the Studio, or on marketplace!
I hope all your lives are treating you well,
Bright Blessings
Eve :)
