This dress has already been converted by another creator a long time ago, but I decided to reconvert it for several reasons:
The earlier version is no longer available for separate download and is unsupported by the creator;
It had a neck gap and wasn’t fitted to ts3 body (tsm body mesh is a bit more bulky than ts3 one);
It wasn’t properly categorized (was put in every single category, like swimwear, naked, etc).
I really love this dress, so I wanted to give it an upgrade it deserves. I hope it will be useful to you guys!
This dress is enabled for everyday, formalwear and career, has all morphs including maternity (for all versions) and requires invisibleshoes.
I also converted it for teens and elders! There isn’t much medieval content made for these life states so from now on I’ll try to convert stuff for them too.
IMPORTANT: To save disc space, I linked the textures from the teen and elder versions to the adult version, so in order for them to work, you need to have the adult version in your game!
Ever since I made a post of Orna modeling some 1580′s fashions a few weeks ago, I’ve been poking around looking for accessory underlayers that had the right historical “look.” I wasn’t very successful, and spent a bit of time moping around before I realized that I could make some.
So, Dame Partlet was created–and forgive me the necessary historical digression here. Partlets were the ancestor of the modern camisole or dickey; simple squares of fabric were pinned over or under low-cut bodices for modesty, warmth, or a pop of color. As with all practical garments, they soon evolved into highly ornamented and decorative forms. The name “partlet” is thought to come from the term for a hen’s neck wattle, as ‘Dame Partlet’ is a common name for hens in contemporary fiction.
To create this, I took agapir’s medieval nightgown and chopped off the textures below the elbow and just under the bust (north of the navel, but not too far north), and then put them on the base game glove accessory, and…voila.
They match the dresses I’ve paired them with fairly well, although I’m the first to admit that the specular is a bit shiny, so you may have to play with the saturation to get the desired effects. Also, I messed up the channel assignment on the embroidered preset, so the embroidery is only recolorable with the third channel; I’m not sure what the second channel recolors.
Since they’re full-coverage, your Sims can now wear low-cut, sleeveless, or off-the-shoulder dresses without any lapses in modesty OR having to worry about drafts. It is available for teen to elder Sims in the everyday, formalwear, athletic, career, outerwear, maternity, martial arts, and makeover categories, and can be found in the glove section.
