IF a modeler were to make Upperclass lady's garb (which is what seems to be missing) , I'd say they might want to consider doing it in a modular fashion - similar to how the gowns were made. So that there are for example, three separate skirt styles, chemise options, removable partlet, a bodice with a morphing neckline, or multiple bodices, and several sleeve styles. The props could include wrist ruffs, massive necklaces, neck ruff, french hoods, tudor hat, 'juliet cap', gloves, flea-fur, fan, book of hours, and chatelaine. The modeler would probably have to supply a 'corset' morph as the body shape is VERY important to the style. Piece swapping might be useful, but I understand it causes problems with Tailor and MATs. The way PhilC made the Vicki romantix would be perfect, with the additional of the sleeves as separate clothing items. I just talked to my sister, the professional Elizabethan costumer. Wow. I much prefer Itlaian Renn. Just the thought of elizabethan undergarments make me feel uncomfortable! Hope that gives a modeler cough Philc cough food for thought :) Lyrra
