Teen Formal Dresses

[AmongTheSageEC]

I have six new dresses, a black one, a red one, and a blue one, with phrases I Love You, Perfect, and You Belong With Me on the back. The three also have versions without the words. Any help on improvement?

Black, Perfect

And then there are the three without the words, which I assume you guys can imagine the looks of, correct? If I need to , I can post some pictures.

Pictures taken in Body Shop.

Please add some in-game shots. The body shop screenshots always appear a bit dark.
The first thing I can say is that you have made a good creation.

I love the colours that you've chosen. I prefer them without the words. Maybe you could add some other type of detailing on the back?

[AmongTheSageEC]

Alright, thanks guys. Will do, Gincgo.

Karen Lorraine, Wht sort of detailing, like a tulip or rose or more like swirls, or buttons?

Also, any other color suggestions?

[karen lorraine]

Detailing: buttons, swirls, lacing type detail (like on wedding dresses or real old-fashioned victorian ones but they look cool now)
Colours: fuchsia pink, teal, baby pink, purple (my favourite colour!)

Oh and can you make them for adults too?

[AmongTheSageEC]

I might be able to do buttons and swirls. But I'm awful at lace. Like, seriously, awful. And (I love the color ideas!) how dark/light purples should I go? Lavender is the lightest I'll do, but I was wondering, like the navy blue of purples, or more like a royal purple? I'm working on the other colors too, and maybe a green one? Or yellow, or lighter, brighter red?

I love all the shades of purple/mauve (wear them all too!)

Not real lace, like when you lace something up eg shoe laces for example but on the back of a dress.

[AmongTheSageEC]

Oh, laces. Okay, like a corset... kind of?

Yes like a corset. (sorry to state the obvious but 'yes' is too short according to this forum :lol: )

[AmongTheSageEC]

xD Okay, thanks. And, I never understood that either. Why can't we just say Yes and No, instead of "The answer to your question is yes/no."?

The dark blue dress' highlights and shadows are barely visible, try playing with the contrast a little. I think lavender, turquoise, light pink and maybe a very pale yellow and pale green would look nice as well.

[AmongTheSageEC]

Thanks, sorry, guys, I've been busy. my game crashed ( DX It's awful! I have to figure out what went wrong now. I think it might be the inTeenimator, but not sure) and so my stuff is mostly gone. I did backup my files, so at least THAT'S okay. :) I'll do my best to get back to y'all ASAP.

[AmongTheSageEC]

I'm sorry about not uploading some more, but it looks like I lost my second Pets disc. And so, I'll have to reinstall that. But I promise I'll get some pictures taken.

[eljago]

I like them quite a bit.

My colour ideas would be pale green and yellow.

Great job,

I like the simple style of shading, which looks especially nice on the reddish dress. Unfortunately, it's pretty well lost on the blue one--increase contrast, maybe? As it is, in this lighting it looks like a flood-fill.

I would also recommend doing away with the writing--or, if you really like it, offer the non-writing version as the "main" download displayed most prominently and the writing version as an alternate. I know that people who are younger than me have a different perspective on having writing on your backside, but...it is still a very particular style. Without the writing, it has more general appeal. "Perfect" is kind of cute, but I'm not sure what the other two mean in this context. (Are the words meant to be what the young lady is saying to the person who is looking at her, or is it a message to her from the person who gave her the dress, or am I just too old for this?)

Another way to add interest without messing up the elegant simplicity would be to add some sort of texture to it. Here's one tutorial (http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=39235) that talks about one way to do that. (The pictures won't load so you would have to download it.)

Actually, I lost my entire collection of projects, so I'm not sure if I can get them back. I'll do my best, but no guarantees. Sorry, guys. :( Darn. And I really loved the Perfect dress
