Oh look, another thing that was going to be simple and ended up with a hecc ton of packages... aha
I had a bit of a vision to turn the H&M tube dress into a strappy dress over a t-shirt on Yuxi's mesh with trainers, but when I looked at the default mesh in simpe... it was a bit of a mess. The mesh was duplicated and so the package was twice as big as it needed to be, but I'm not too surprised, as that's not uncommon with older default replacements. That led to me actually making a completely new mesh which has the dress and shoes in different texture groups, so texture space can be cut down by repo'ing them! I ended up working off Rudhira's mesh edit, so the shape is a bit nicer, too.
First, the shoeswap- for TF and AF, everyday only, the dress on both the custom and default versions is repo to H &M, so that is required. the shoes are all repo to the package 'HM_tubedress_trainers_REQ_shoetex' , so make sure you include that in your downloads. I also pinned the custom version to H&M. the default version is pretty much just a more optimized version of Artemida's default, which is fun ^^ it replaces both afbodytubetopsandals and tfbodytubetopsandals, the mesh polycount clocks in at 1958, TF has a fat morph and AF has both morphs.
now for my new textures; the dress is a combination of the H&M textures and Yuxi's Tsuki dress, with straps from BG. I popped a t-shirt underneath which is an edit of MDP's plain tee textures. 10 colours, three based on maxis', 6 Aelia retro colours, and one in Aelia's lonesome cream. I called it 'late summer', and it was definitely seasonal when I made it, but not so much now, so put the emphasis on 'late'.
You can have them on three different meshes; on the H&M tube dress mesh with the strappy sandals, everyday only, H&M required. Standalone, or with TF repo to AF.
Secondly, on my mesh with trainers, everyday only, standalone, or with TF repo to AF. Don't forget to add the trainer texture package to your folder, unless you are using my default with trainers, as it’s included in that.
Lastly, on Skell's top-only mesh, everyday only, standalone, or with TF repo to AF.
I also made a recolour PSD in case anyone wants it , you can grab that here.
I also went ahead and edited Yuxi's Tsuki dress to use my mesh, so you don't need similar outfits with different meshes, and the shape is a bit nicer, too, with a better fat morph. Everyday only, standalone, or with TF repo to AF. Don't forget to add the trainer texture package to your folder, unless you are using my default with trainers, as it’s included in that.
Lastly, I made some texture-only defaults using both my Late Summer and edit of Yuxi's Tsuki textures, you can use them by themselves to keep the sandals, or combine them with my trainers shoeswap default above as its repo. If you use the Tsuki textures in combination with the trainers, it'll pretty much be a more efficient version of Marja's default ^^
Everything's compressorized, with meshes in the zips. I have a few more big projects I need to upload, and it's taking forever, aha. My own fault for not doing it as I go, though.
