I hear some people complain about doing custom work. And while it can be painful, I enjoy it. Every time I do something for someone, I come up with something, I think, a little better than normal.
Here is a gown I created for someone. The original was the cream and gold. But of course I had to add a few different versions in different colors.
I reworked the skirt prims on both the slender and larger versions. That, is the bane of my designer existance. If I make a large skirt, I'm told they want a small one. If I make a small one I'm asked to make a larger one. It's too large, it's too small, etc. So I try to make a variety. :)
In this case I pared down my normal ballgown skirt and did a couple of unique things to get the trim to display correctly. And in the slender skirt I did the same. Aside from this, these skirts are three layers of my normal skirts. One for the underskirt of lace, one which is a solid texture, and the other the gown texture with an alpha layer gradient, getting the blend to the waist that I prefer. I've discovered that I like having the non alpha layer beneath it, I don't get that visual bleed that SL tends towards with transparencies.
