More Gender-Oriented Silver Shroud Designs

Always throws me off just a bit that as good as the coat looks on my lawyer-turned-harbinger-of-death, the slacks and oxfords poking out the bottom seem out of place. Would love to see a variant of the Silver Shroud costume for the ladies that swaps the pants with a (sensible) loose business skirt sort of thing and some knee-length boots. Nothing porny or over-sexualized; just more feminine than what's currently there. How hard would it be to put together? bodyslide is the only thing i've seen thus far that looked like it dealt with that sort of thing, and i didn't see if it touched on changing clothing items in an outfit or anything.

Not really too difficult if you're a 3D Modeller. I actually do have a few plans to make a Starlet Sniper outfit for females only, so I could adapt some of that into a Silver Shroud outfit for females as well.

Maybe you should instead change your idea of what gendered clothing is. In the 1930's it was even illegal for women to wear pants in most places so it wasn't part of the style. Today there exist plenty of women's sensible shoes that are patterned after oxfords. Slack style pants have been women's business casual for decades now. I just did a search and Nordstrom's has 126 different women's oxford shoes available in multiple colors.

I consider myself well versed in the lore of the Fallout timeline. The pre-war time WASN't the 1950's, it just had a retro-futuristic aesthetic. Even in Tranquility Lane the men and women were assigned jobs, as was the sole survivor, as were all the female vault dwellers.

Replying after "only" 4 months... Gotta love distractions. :D true on both accounts, but to each his own; I had a look in my head based more off of what I would like the style of than what is strictly to lore. In my head, my character would have appropriated the coat, scarf, and boots, but done her own thing otherwise.

 

After researching more, it looks like the basic idea of what I'm trying to do would be:

 

1. Create edited mesh/texture bits, one of the silver shroud outfit sans slacks/shoes, and one of a black retex of irma's dress, cleaned up to just be the boots.

 

2. Maybe take the red/sequin dress shape, repurpose it into a skirt somehow and give it some neutral black texture (not sure if this is necessary; not sure the SS coat even shows leg that high).

 

3. Put everything together with bodyslide. Voila: silver shroud with some ladylike s#*!-kickers.

 

Working on the boots recently. Scared of the SS texture file: opened it up and it's just all black, of course. Great for my character, but awful to try to cut bits out of. Have no clue in hell how to do the skirt. Will try to remember to keep things updated, so long as I don't give up on it out of frustration; this definitely isn't my normal thing. :D
