Finally! Since Poser2, I've been trying to find a way to get this style on my figures (I'm made some sorry attempts in the past) but with a little help from the grouping tool, Compose (and MacCompose) and TwoSword's "China Dress" and "Bud Girl" design, I've finally recreated Saint Laurent's 1965 "Mondrian" dress (not quite an exact copy--it's kind of a mini A-line, but it's still better than the vinyl knock offs I've seen lately). It needs work to pose as smoothy as I'd like it (the chest was exported with the neck grouped so I could remove it in Compose). So I'm almost tempted to combine it with the P3 figure to make it a little better fit. The large image has been retouched in Photoshop, the small image is the original Poser render.

Looks great! The collar area looks a bit high, but maybe the original is also, I cant remember. Is the figure (Bud Girl?), one of TwoSwords or yours? I didn't see it at PoserFactory.

Nice job! It's always great when a "plan" finally comes together, isn't it?

Really cool Freakachu, very stylish. Paul

Yes--the collar is a bit high, it should be at about t-shirt height (but it's the closest I could get without making the neckline jagged, I'll probably use magnets to bring it down a bit) and the dress should be a little less curve hugging (again, magnets should be the solution). Bud Girl is TwoSword's, it's a mini-one piece style with the Budweiser logo on it (The original--with a nice transparency map--is perfect for a negligee). The chest for the china dress is the closest style that I've seen that does not have a plunging neckline or thin straps (and it actually fits to the rest of the Bud Girl dress).

I think the correct response to this one is "Groovy Baby! Yeah!!!" (Austin Powers) Very Nice!

Couldn't you use a Transparancy Map to fake a lower neckline?

I sent the new mesh to TwoSword, so I'll see what he says about uploading the dress (or a whole figure). I'm still playing with the magnets on the hemline and neckline (I tried using the grouping tool to shorten the neck and got two little jagged points on both sides of the collar--they weren't horribly obvious, but it still looks like a trans map is the best solution). I suspect scaling will work a lot better if the dress is part of a whole figure, rather than an article of clothing. (The .cr2 file likes to lean the chest a little to the right--it seems to do that with the thin strap as well.)
