yeah the sash gives the dress a little more style and makes it stand out a bit. Besides if anyone doesn't want the belt just set it up in a material zone and they can hide it.

Very true, or you can make the belt a separate piece, so folks can either use the dress with our without. Needless to say, the belt would need to be parented to the dress, I guess. Not sure about whether it would be parented to the dress or the character. ~scratches head~

In Poser that would be done in the Cloth room, if you wanted to make the dress dynamic.

I love the collide option in the smoothing modifier makes it very easy to pose a figure with no pokethru...default setting is all it normally needs and I love the I can collide it against a variety of items so that they don't poke thru either.

Yep, I am adding it separately, fit-to the dress in DS ;) Just want to be happy with it there before anything else. Hopefully there will be no major changes now and just need to redo the textures.
I am distracted by two extremes this month - my son who is 2yo (still loves to hit the power button on the PC and giggle) and a daughter who is 14 yo ( just grrr) there are others too!

lol...I know that feeling. My eldest is now in his 30's and my two younger children in their early twenties...it's tough dealing with either but both...I feel for you! Teen's especially can be very frustrating at times...

Back to ...I dunno ...Kayla/Kaila?
I'm nearly happy with the bod shape (left figure in pics) and then can move on to the texturing bit. I don't know if changing the Dawn SE texture or using another resource yet

Thanks :) I'm gonna keep all the morphs separate/not merged in a single slider -18 small morphs and a couple dialed from Dawn se.

I cant post nude renders to show the shape obviously ..but on my deviant page

Are you planning to make a Poser version?

I ask only because having to deal with all those morphs separately in Poser means fewer vendors will support your character morphs. It's a great deal of work to chase down everyone of those 18 morphs in every piece of clothing to test, revise and prepare for distribution...........just something you may want to consider.

I haven't thought about poser because I don't have any recent version or know much how to use it. Saying that, I would be happy for anyone else to do a poser version once completed. I was thinking of combining just my morphs into one, so that would make things simpler.
