In the general freebies request, I was challenged to design a 1940's inspired dress, so I dug around on the internets and found a sewing pattern on Etsy from 1943 and used it as the inspiration for this dforce dress I modeled in Hexagon.

If you have issues, please let me know and I'll do my best to help...it isn't perfect, but hey, it's free!

    @perlk - your dress looks great on the promo image (fun idea with the car!)! It must have been a lot of work but the end result looks really good. Congratulations! yessmiley

    perlk Thank you very much for a very sweet dress and accessory. I enjoyed relaxing into a render last night trying it out. Here it is with one of eblank's textures.

    I don't know how to make links on my Kindle but here are some available accessories for perlk's shirt dress to round out the 1940's look:

    Hats and gloves were very much in use back then, so:

    Timeless Treasures headwear

    Vintage hats and Gloves

    Shoes tended to be on the chunkier side, so these could work:

    Amazing morphing pumps

    Mary Jane style shoes were also in style. A nice pair of these come with this set:

    dForce Mary Jane Outfit 

    All these are for G8.*F 

    Cheers, 

    AOBB

    Thank you so very much AOBB and perlk!! heartheart

    That's a useful list AOBB. I've got the vintage hats, but had to make do with pumps for G3F from a set I had, so those morphing pumps went onto my wishlist. BTW the link to eblank's textures was listed in the comments section of perlk's dress - here they are: https://www.renderosity.com/freestuff/items/91994/1940s-style-dress-additional-textures

    Perlk, you've been making so many items and they all look great! I found this dress super easy to work with. Thanks for the simulation settings option! I'm usually afraid of dforce, but this was very painless. I'm downloading your 50s dress now. I've got a "vintage rock" project coming up and I'm going to see if I can try out the dress then! smiley

    EDIT: I went down a rabbit hole. It seems eblank has textures made for perlk's handbag too and some textures for pumps for G8F. The pumps are also freebies and can be found here: https://www.deviantart.com/amyaimei/art/Pumps-01-for-Genesis-8-Female-705955762

    Thank you @lukon100! It has taken me about a year to get the hang of it. I think half of the learning curve is understanding what geometry really is, ha ha. If only I could communicate with 8th grade me.

    @SapphireBlue there are some really awesome freebies for shoes out there. The ones I used are https://sharecg.com/v/97227/view/21/DAZ-Studio/CFM-Pumps which are in almost every retro render I use!!!
