Well, first of all, if she was a little beefier, she would start to be more of a scaled-down Vickie III, and I want to keep her different. I'm pretty beefy myself, but I can still admire a thin build. Clothing is going to have to be made to fit her, unfortunately. You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs. However, she would really need her own clothing anyway, for a acceptable level of fit, her shape is getting pretty far from V3's after all, not to mention the difference in size. Having her own fitted CR2 also gives me the chance to get it really right, not a compromise, and I can do things like building in additional JCM, while V3 is fantastic in this area (and far ahead of any other figure), after using her for a time I can see a couple little things... ;-) She will SURELY get clothing sets from me. In fact, after working on pricing the SIMs sets (which are going to be out soon) I've been re-thinking about how my sets are sold. My original thinking (and many other's sell sets this way) was to sell (say) a set of clothing for V3 for $30, then later sell updates with the mesh and CR2 modified for, say Glamorous Vickie, for $15. The idea is the purchaser of the original set "bought" the mesh, the update purchasers are buying the revised mesh "fit". My "new" thinking is I'd have a set for this figure, another for Glamorous Vickie, another for regular V3, each would be (say) $20, there would be no update prices, with each your buying the mesh and CR2 fitted to that character or figure. Each set would have a couple of special things that would also work with the other sets, like exclusive textures and props, so there would be some extra value if you bought all the version. Oh yes, she would make a great Fae, I've been thinking that all along! If a set or two of wings happen to come with her, what would you like to see- angel wings, or butterfly wings, or insect-type wings?
