New Clothing Appliers for Maitreya and Belleza mesh bodies are now in the shop!
Everything old is new again!
Gowns include the original SL body system clothes with clothing appliers. You get all the fashion benefits of the SL system textures with the addition of the mesh appliers. Fit mesh and standard mesh gowns often require that avatars modify their shapes to fit the dress. Appliers allow the avatar to wear clothing that fits their shape. For years, I have heard period ladies complain about mesh gowns not fitting their shape or were not historically accurate enough. These appliers are the perfect solution to enjoy the new mesh bodies and keep our period dressing options open. More variety!
For those new to mesh bodies... Appliers work very much like the traditional SL system textures. They apply directly to the mesh body like the old textured clothes we love.
Mesh bodies have three system layers built into their HUDs. For example, the Maitreya body features a Tattoo, Underwear, and Clothing layer within their HUD. Inside this gown folder you will find an applier for clothing, stockings, and gloves. You should be able to add the stockings and gloves to the underwear or tattoo layer depending on your dressing preference. The main gown texture should be applied on the clothing layer.
To APPLY the applier layer just add to your body and click the gold ball prim. A menu will open. You may also rez the ball on the ground if you wish.
Period Shoes:
I continue to offer my standard period slippers and boots.
Slippers come with a sizing script that can be deleted once fitted to your mesh body foot. With the proper increase in size and angling on your foot, the shoes should be wearable with the mesh body. I can't promise all bodies will work obviously but I was able to adapt them to my Maitreya feet. Please see photo.
Boots are easy to apply. Just add the boots and turn on your foot alpha in your mesh body HUD.
As always gowns include shoes, hats, and a mesh underskirt for modesty. I will continue to update my old SL system gowns to include appliers. It will take some time so please be patient. If there is a favorite gown you wish to have an applier for... I will consider a consignment.
I have a new Regency Fit Mesh gown and men's suit coming soon... as well as some 1950s gowns that celebrate the Route 66 Event in SL coming up this month. So be sure to be on the look out for these soon!
I plan to be expanding into Slink and Adam male appliers as well. I would love to hear your feedback on which mesh bodies you are now wearing and what bodies you feel period creators should design for. If you are a creator and need some help learning more about the applier systems... just message me in world.
I hope you enjoy your new Updated Applier gowns! Here is your carriage to the shop.
UPDATE TO POST - I have added an APPLIER ONLY vendor for those wanting to just purchase the appliers.
