Extra Magic Hours (Andavri's 2013 SS gifts in Disney 2.1 Colors) - Part 2

This set is comprised of recolors for unfinished projects that Andavri sent my way once upon a time. These are 16 sets (counting different ages) of recolors for outfits she created for a PBK Secret Santa Gift in 2013.

Part 1 featured the toddler outfits. TF & AF outfits lie ahead. Info, pics, and links are behind the cut!

6 - Blue Calico (CF)

This grown-up version of Blue Dotted & Green Stripey features puffy cap sleeves, knee-length stockings and brown flats. This uses a fakepeeps7 mesh, so grab it at MTS. (Swatch)

7 - Brown Floral Border (CF)

By far my favorite of the CF outfits! It's a lacy, sleeveless gown with a wide sash and unapologetic bow in the back. This uses the cfbodydressflowergirl mesh from the Celebrations Stuff pack. (Swatch)

8 - Green Calico (CF)

Green Calico & its upcoming cousin are much less busy takes on fakepeeps7's original outfit. (Check it out and grab the mesh, 'cause I couldn't include it.) You get a contrast between the subtle plaid and the print border, very cute and sensible. (Swatch)

9 - Pink Calico (CF)

If you looked at Green Calico and thought "but where's the gingham?", you're in luck. Same mesh as Green Calico, just scroll up for the link. (Swatch)

10 - Purple Fireworks (CF)

Last but certainly not least for the CF crew is another recolor of the flower girl dress from Celebration Stuff. The firework/shooting star pattern matches the sash. (Swatch)

11 - Green Dots (AF/TF)

First up for the ladies is a classic Regency morning gown with an apron. It uses Liz's Regency mesh and Trapping's age conversion, both included. (Swatch).

12 - Green Maid (AF/TF)

If you've ever found heget's Versailles Zoning Permit gowns useful, this may be for you. The dress comes off as a bit fine for your bog-standard servant to wear daily, but your lady toiling in the still room for an hour would certainly value her dress enough to slap on an apron. This comes on a Sim Ages mesh and Cynnix's TF conversion. (Swatch)

13 - Green Maid Dotted (AF/TF)

Yeah, I know we've already had "Green Dots", but I didn't remember that when I named this set. It's the only dress without a counterpart in the original gift, I think. This has a less-fancy dotted pattern and a longer apron than Green Maid, but it's on the same Sim Ages mesh & Cynnix conversion. (Swatch)

Conclusion

Let me stress that this is all Andavri's work. I just did the importing and previewing bits. Credit is also due to fakepeeps7, Cocomama, Liz, Sim Ages, Cynnix, and Trapping for their wonderful meshes/conversions.

Each outfit comes packed with a preview, swatch, and mesh (if allowed/required -- again, fakepeeps7's meshes have to be downloaded from MTS.) The recolors are all labeled/tooltipped/compressorized. The file names match the original outfit in the Secret Santa gift, just with the recolor name tacked on for easy reference.

Extra Magic Hours (Andavri's 2013 SS gifts in Disney 2.1 Colors) - Part 1

This set is comprised of recolors for unfinished projects that Andavri sent my way once upon a time. These are 16 sets (counting different ages) of recolors for outfits she created for a PBK Secret Santa Gift in 2013. Info, pics, and links behind the cut!

The names of the sets are taken from the original outfits, so some of them sound quite similar. Every set has a custom swatch so you can see what you're getting.

1 - Plain Blue (PM)

This is the only outfit for the boys, a simple collared shirt with a white undershirt and tan pants. It uses the basegame overalls mesh. (Swatch)

2 - Blue Dotted (PF)

A sweet frock in a dotted pattern with ribbon-tied stockings. The mesh is by fakepeeps7, so you'll have to grab it from MTS. (Swatch)

3 - Green Lace (PF)

There aren't any bows on the bloomers, but this pinafore dress has them on the neckline & shoes and a huge bow in the back. Mesh by Cocomama is included. (Swatch)

4 - Green Stripey (PF)

A similar dress to Blue Dotted (uses the same mesh, grab it at MTS), but it feels fancier overall somehow? Some recolors have a monochrome look and others have a more contrasting stripe. This is my favorite of the toddler outfits. (Swatch)

5 - Hedgerow Calico (PF)

I don't know if Andavri was thinking of Mrs. Bennet's wailing about being thrown out into the hedgerows when she made these, but I certainly am. This dress uses the Free Time sailor mesh. (Swatch)

Conclusion Let me stress that this is all Andavri's work. I just did the importing and previewing bits. Credit is also due to fakepeeps7, Cocomama, Liz, Sim Ages, Cynnix, and Trapping for their wonderful meshes/conversions.

Each outfit comes packed with a preview, swatch, and mesh (if allowed/required -- again, fakepeeps7's meshes have to be downloaded from MTS.) The recolors are all labeled/tooltipped/compressorized.

Samberry - Skell’s Samantha Dress for CF Retextured

This is my oh-so-creatively-named take on this dress by Skell, based on the Cranberry Party Dress worn by American Girl doll Samantha Parkington. My original intention was just to retexture the sash and make recolors, but I wound up almost completely retexturing it with bits and pieces borrowed from Andavri. The lace on the bib was also replaced with the lace on the original’s collar. (Skell’s is more faithful to the mega-lace on the doll’s dress, to be honest, but I liked this better.)

The dress comes in two patterns, one in Andavri’s Disney palette (custom swatch) and one in Van’s Ladies of Verona palette (custom swatch). Each pattern has one variant with dark lace - the Disney one because it could be used for mourning and the Verona one because it just looked adorably goth. Samantha’s era is turn-of-the-century, right on the cusp between Victorian and Edwardian/Progressive, so the dress could work for games of either era. It could also work in more modern games for dress-up occasions.

The lace bib does clip a bit (back, back with clipping), particularly over the shoulders and in the back, with normal game movements. It doesn’t really bother me, but if it bothers you, well, now you know.

The files are all labeled, tooltipped, and compressorized. Custom swatches and the mesh are included. The outfit is categorized as casual and formal.

My lack of focus one past holiday season is your gain! For your downloading pleasure, I present (heh) four hairstyles for the ladies and one for the lads.

More information & downloads behind the cut...

Standard Info:

All hairs are retextured in Pooklet's V2 textures and available in all of Pooklet's Project Mayhem naturals, Io's Ennead, Hat's and Aweeshie's add-on grays, and custom versions of Time Bomb and Bastet. The files are labeled/tooltipped/compressorized, and the hairs have been binned & familied with unused ages removed. Elders go gray, one gray per family. Meshes, previews, and swatches are included.

You can view the swatch card here.

Original meshes: Newsea, Simpliciaty, Wings Mesh conversions/edits: Kairisu, Rented-Space, SilverLeaves/Umi, Simborg, VonVerdelli Textures: Pooklet Colors: Pooklet, Io, Almighty Hat, Aweeshie

Newsea’s “Simple Life” for PM-EM (converted by kairisu)

It's a short-ish hair for guys that wasn't born when a fork met an electrical socket and, uh, shockingly low-poly for a modern hair mesh (~5K polys). I'm there. [Turnaround]

Newsea’s “Simple Life” for PF-EF (converted by Kairisu)

Sweet Polly Oliver mode will cost you 6K polys. [Turnaround]

Simpliciaty’s “Reign” for CF-EF (converted by Simborg)

I nearly washed my hands of this one, but I'm glad I didn't. The back is spectacular. The braid is thick, but it looks like it's been woven and/or pancaked to create that fullness. It weighs in at 12.7K polys. [Turnaround]

Wings’ “Cersei” (ETS1123) for CF-EF (fixed/lower-poly by Rented-Space)

This is a hairstyle worn by Cersei Lannister in Season 2, Episode 6 ("The Old Gods and the New") of Game of Thrones and the hair-spiration for a style worn by Sansa Stark in a later season. Never has a Princess Classic hairstyle been so intimidating. Rented-Space's edit of VonVerdelli's 4t2 mesh fixes several problems with the original, adds the CF stage, and takes the cost down to 16K polys. [Turnaround]

“Lioness” (Wings ONT1201) for TF-EF (converted by Simborg)

The top of this hair is the same as "Cersei" but ending in a lovely loose braid. Cersei wore a lot of braids (though none exactly like this that I could find) when she started to get her claws out, hence the name. It honestly made one of my nicest sims look gloriously terrifying. The original conversion was over 30K, but Simborg brought it down to 15K without any material harm. [Turnaround]
