Help build an outfit: Madonna's "Like a Virgin" wedding dress

Scavenger · August 2016

I'm thinking of building Madonna's "Like a Virgin" wedding dress...I can't actually do geometry stuff, but I texture map pretty well, so I'm looking for pieces.

The top/corset/basque should be pretty easy...tons of those around.. but I'm looking for suggestions for the bottom/skirt part. I have lots of lace shaders and/or lace textures, but it's the multi layers part of it I'm not sure of.

(of course if said dress exists already..)

Maybe the Ghost Bride Dress, with some retexturing?

Yeah.. I looked at that one, but it's missing some poof.

what character you working with. you could use this outfit and use a deformer to the skirt to poof it out.

Trousseau 2 for Genesis 2 Female(s)

there is a V4 version as well. Trousseau

Yeah, I have the G2F one on that... but I'm looking for more multi layered skirts than a sheeth wedding dress.

Otherwise, I'd just built it using Morphing Fantasy Dress., which might be the end result.

This skirt is poofy - with SickleYield's ultra templates, (use the "ultra big" template) skirts like this transfer well to Genesis 3 Female -http://www.daz3d.com/the-art-of-dance-ballet-v4-performance-romance-tutu

Thanks for the tutu suggestion! That might be perfect.

I'm looking at G2F use, so the Ultra Templates are out :( but I use MFD to transfer skirts and that usually works...

It's not at Daz, and it's for original Genesis, so it would need transfer, but maybe you could use the tutu prima from Clara's Dream Ballet at Renderosity. It's on clearance now, so heaven only knows how much longer it will be available. You could also use a bunch of different lace shaders on the different tulle layers for that sort of effect, maybe.

I used the prima tutu in this image: http://vwrangler.deviantart.com/art/Swan-Lake-sort-of-457142355

The handles you might add through transfer might help you bring it down so that it looks more skirt-like.

Looks like a better candidate for a kitbash. The skirt is going to be tricky due to the awkwardness inherent in conforming clothes. But the bodice looks like a fairly easy to match bustier/corset of which there are dozens to choose from. The cloves and jewelery might take some hunting, but I bet they're out there.

And; shaders are your friends.
