I made this freebie for Anastasia. I still have a few things to do, but wanted to ask because I have no real fashion sense. Is this too much leapard print for a woman to wear all at once? Maybe I should make the top a different color? What do you think?

It depends on the woman. I used to know someone who would have regarded the outfit above as rather tame. :)

Folks can always substitute a plain colour on one or other item if they want.

I have to admit that I don't really like leopard print. Something about ti that reminds me of trashy trailer parks and prostitutes. Guess my bias is showing.

Okay, I love leopard print actually, but a contrast between the top and bottom would probably make the outfit really pop. Maybe the shirt with something like a black or brown that picks up shades in the leopard print on the pants. Also, great oufit! I love to see support for Anastasia!

In my experience, women who like to wear leopard prints weigh about 200 pounds more than the default Poser figure.  It takes a screen with lots of pixels to properly show such a complex print.

Okay, so I broke it up and made the top solid black. I'm still no fan of leopard print, but I like this better.

Another way to mix it would be leopard print sides and solid front/back or vice versa

Too late to worry about it now. Just posted the finished zip to Freestuff. Guess we'll see whether people like it or not.

I saw a very pretty girl wearing a leapard print top today, and realized I'd never thought to use an animal texture before...  I think that looks pretty cool, I'd reduce the saturation a bit (almost looks like tiger or cheetah colors?) and I think an edgeblend shader would really give it a softer, fuzzier look I could see a girl wearing casually.

Nice. Thank you so much for supporting her.

If you don't like it, you generally shouldn't be making it.  You'd only be making something sub-optimal that you aren't really passionate about and it'll show.

So get rid of the leopard print and put a texture on it you'd appreciate.

Well, I don't think that's necessarily true. It's just the print I don't like, but that doesn't mean I won't put my best foot forward doing it.

Well, I'm just reflecting on what I've generally noticed.  If you don't have a particular passion for something to begin with, it tends to show.  In your first image, I noticed the tiling on the two parts didn't match up porportion wise.  That's a little thing that would turn me off from a set.  That was really the most obvious problem to me in the first picture.

You can go a full leopard print outfit as long as the size of the spots are consistant.  Making the top black was unnecessary.    Now if you wanted to add a black belt, that'd be a way to go.

WARK!
