Hi Odf. Ideas about Miki clothes? What there is for her tends to be close fitting and without the thickness of the edge of real clothes... What would be neat if you are doing conforming is a cute above the hip sweat shirt with dimensional seams and hem. Cute sweat pants below but the two together leaving some belly. Cute low rise sweats or cut off tiny sweats like a girl wears cleaning the house or washing the car. I dunno, for a change anything thick and comfy... I am thinking Velma from Skooby Doo. I would like sexy for pin-up but I never see cozy pinup, thick ribbed turtle necks with those sleeves that come down over the hand or stretched out sweat shirts like in the movie Flash Dance, loose around the neck... Or maybe club kid clothes, not slinky club wear you see so much of, you know, slutty chic. I mean Seattle Grunge skateboard chick. A tight fitting knit cap, long sleeve under short sleeve T-shirt, flannel button up tied at waist, cut off knee length cargo or fatigue pants, canvas high top runners. All this stuff is I am sure beyond what you are looking at to start with but they sure would be cool and I think they go with that figure nicely. I would like having such clothes. I want my figures to look like the models who work at art schools. I am a retired teacher of painting. I still would love static prop clothes that are like someone taking them off or on. A pair of jeans hanging loose held from the waistband, a t-shirt getting pulled over someones head so you can see their face through the neck hole. Underwear being slid off. Clothes on the ground. I used to draw/paint models taking clothes off and on over and over... I could spend a whole private session having them only dress and undress the whole time. It made such a great contrast between the naked body and the drape of the clothes. And I liked how the clothes when half on could break the bodies into shapes. Mainly you get your nude without the inexplicable nudeness of historical painting -deuner sur lerbe is half way there :)
