Yukio's Outfit for HS2

This is an off-shoulder ruffle top and skirt combo that I made for our August girl of the month, Yukio. The outfit's appearance is purposely muted, making it suitable to both casual and formal occasions.

The top features carefully tailored princess seams to accentuate your honey's curves, as well as a ruffle that spans the bust and hangs gently over one arm. The ruffle tends to misbehave, so I recommend subtle poses where right arm is close to resting position. The top fits bust sizes 10-55, with a recommended size of 30-40 for the ideal proportions.

Both top and bottom feature half-states, and break states. The skirt has a removable belt using the "option parts 1" button. Both feature triple free color zones, though lighter, more subtle colors are highly recommended. To get the look shown on the poster, please press "Restore color setting" for all zones. A coordinate card has also been included for your convenience.

Enjoy!

I spent some time since the initial release to refine several parts of this outfit. Most noticeably, I added a belt to the skirt to 'tie' the whole piece together visually. Secondly, I added many subtle seams and other normal map corrections to make the top less... shitty. Unfortunately, I was unable to fix the weights on the ruffle, so it will remain a pain point of this project, as alluded to above.

If you use this outfit, please refrain from doing anything too crazy with the right arm, as the ruffle will follow in kind. I have to admit that attempting to weight paint a continuous ruffle that spans the gap between torso and arm was peak hubris on my part. I love that look of clothes like this in real life, but if I had only carefully considered the weight painting implications for more than 5 seconds before I had started, I would have realized that it was like trying to divide by zero, and that its mathematically impossible to get a satisfactory result.

I will keep learning for my successes as well as failures though. I thank you, everyone, for your continued support and visitation as I undertake this journey. I have a lot of other cool mods in the works so stay tuned.

This outfit has Hanmen's Anisotropic Cloth Shaders built-in for that extra realistic, cloth-like sheen. If you like this effect and would like to apply it to your other favorite clothes, you can purchase the shader from Hanmen's store and use it in the material editor.
