Attached Link: Flapper Dress Pack Info

My flapper dress pack for Vicki and Posette is now available in the Zygote/DAZ3D store. Package includes 2 1920s flapper dresses and, as a bonus, a 1960s go-go dress. Shoes and matching accessories are also included, along with some gorgeous textures by Symphony. Click the link for more details and a sample image.

I just bought it. On the page it is written that the skirt is not conformable it is only poseable. What does it mean?

Thanks for buying it! This means that you have to pose Vicki or Posette's legs, then pose the skirt. It doesn't follow the pose automatically the way the chest, abdomen, etc. do. This was a compromise I chose to make to make the dresses look as good as possible. Originally I had the dresses set up as full-conforming figures but the skirt area just would not work acceptably no matter what I tried, and looked downright hideous in a sitting position. By compromising to make the skirt non-conformable, it can be used in any position and still look good. They can even be used in a sitting position. These dresses could be used for other things besides flapper and go-go dresses, too. They have morphs to tighten the cut of the dress and make it more snug, alter the hemline, etc. There are many morphs, quite a few of which are full-body morphs.

Hi dcort. I just got the Flapper dress and I love it! I have one question though. How do I get the bandeau to fit vicki's head right. I end up with hair sticking out all over the place. Thanks for any help.

The simplest thing is to use the scale dials to make the bandeau bigger. You could scale it uniformly or just make it longer and wider as needed to fit over the hair you're using. I made them fit snugly for several reasons. One was for people like me who like to draw hair post-render. Another was that it's impossible to accomodate every possible hair object, as they are not uniformly sized by any means. Also, short hairdos were in during the flapper era, sometimes very short and close to the head. And lastly, a real bandeau, like a headband, would tend to flatten the hair under it a bit.

Thanks for the help! I finally found some hair that I could work with and got it to work. Once again I have to say I love these dresses!
