There have been some threads lately lamenting the poor quality of V4 characters/textures, the lack of imagination and quality in clothing and general malaise in products and freebies.
I had to respond with three items I purchased recently. This is just a random act of praise for these three incredible items; there are more in the marketplaces, you just have to be very discriminating in your shopping.
V4 morph and texture "Lady Jane" by surreality [RMP]
Dress with gloves and slippers "V4 Fairy Gown" by Sarsa and Lady Littlefox [Daz]
Japanese furniture piece "Gyoshobako" by kuroyume0161 [RMP]
This V4 face is based on a 'style' called Pre-Raphaelite woman.

Striking, strong, unusual, full of character.
The gown is built in some sort of double mesh; I don't completely understand it yet. But it works. Yes, the slippers have 'pointed toes'. You can easily supress them with the MorphBrushTool. They have straps that wind up the legs. I love those 'gloves.' Love 'em.
The furniture? I think it is some sort of Japanese traveling-salesperson item. You can ask the maker...I just know I like it a lot. All the drawers morph in and out.
In my opinion, the thing that makes these (and other fine models) special is: craftsmanship, caring and attention to detail. Reality in, reality out.
