Free 1940's style shirt dress for Genesis 8 Females
In the general freebies request, I was challenged to design a 1940's inspired dress, so I dug around on the internets and found a sewing pattern on Etsy from 1943 and used it as the inspiration for this dforce dress I modeled in Hexagon.

@perlk - your dress looks great on the promo image (fun idea with the car!)! It must have been a lot of work but the end result looks really good. Congratulations!

Just signed up to DeviantArt and downloaded the dress!
awesome, thank
This is great thank you
You're welcome! I always imagined myself as a fashion designer so this is super fun to do :-)
I created a handbag that goes with the dress: https://www.deviantart.com/perlk/art/Retro-Handbag-Prop-for-Daz-Studio-917336061
perlk Thank you very much for a very sweet dress and accessory. I enjoyed relaxing into a render last night trying it out. Here it is with one of eblank's textures.
A moment of reflection

Gorgeous, SapphireBlue!
I don't know how to make links on my Kindle but here are some available accessories for perlk's shirt dress to round out the 1940's look:
Hats and gloves were very much in use back then, so:
Timeless Treasures headwear
Vintage hats and Gloves
Shoes tended to be on the chunkier side, so these could work:
Amazing morphing pumps
Mary Jane style shoes were also in style. A nice pair of these come with this set:
dForce Mary Jane Outfit
All these are for G8.*F
Cheers,
AOBB
@SapphireBlue - Love, love, LOVE this!!!! So beautiful.
@AOBB - gotta check those out - thank you! Especially the headwear.
You're welcome, Perlk!
Thank you so very much AOBB and perlk!!
That's a useful list AOBB. I've got the vintage hats, but had to make do with pumps for G3F from a set I had, so those morphing pumps went onto my wishlist. BTW the link to eblank's textures was listed in the comments section of perlk's dress - here they are: https://www.renderosity.com/freestuff/items/91994/1940s-style-dress-additional-textures
Perlk, you've been making so many items and they all look great! I found this dress super easy to work with. Thanks for the simulation settings option! I'm usually afraid of dforce, but this was very painless. I'm downloading your 50s dress now. I've got a "vintage rock" project coming up and I'm going to see if I can try out the dress then!
EDIT: I went down a rabbit hole. It seems eblank has textures made for perlk's handbag too and some textures for pumps for G8F. The pumps are also freebies and can be found here: https://www.deviantart.com/amyaimei/art/Pumps-01-for-Genesis-8-Female-705955762
Cool! Looks like yr pretty profficient with the Hexagon there.
Thank you @lukon100! It has taken me about a year to get the hang of it. I think half of the learning curve is understanding what geometry really is, ha ha. If only I could communicate with 8th grade me.
@SapphireBlue there are some really awesome freebies for shoes out there. The ones I used are https://sharecg.com/v/97227/view/21/DAZ-Studio/CFM-Pumps which are in almost every retro render I use!!!
