The Victorian dress was an option, but again too formal. And even with magnets I can't get the dress/skirt part to taper in the way it should. I'm afraid the dress must be modeled. I'm in the works of buying Carrarra, this might help. I'm using Infini-D 4.01 and Imagine for my modeling. As to the mantle, I believe that it could be made as a static prop, and with morph targets, able to have limited movement. Allerleirauh: I too could whip this out on my sewing machine in a day. :-) James
