Blush Bravin

Back when Maitreya released the Petite add-on for 5.x I contacted several of my favorite creators. I explained that I loved their clothing creations and that since I'd made the switch to the Petite, I hoped they would start making Petite sizes as I would only be buying petite from then onward. I wasn't rude. I didn't get tough with them. I let me desires be known. I had mixed results from those messages. Many said they were on the fence about adding another size but would think about it, while some said it was already their plan to add the petite size to their products. I responded to those who replied negatively that I understood and would miss their clothing. Again, I respected their decision to do what was best for their business model. As a creator myself, I love feedback from my customers. Many times I am able to accommodate their desires but sometimes it's simply not within my skillset or time constraints to provide what they would like. I can't remember though the last time I had a rude response from a customer. But listening in on a variety of group chats, I am shocked at some of the comments made by some who simply have no idea what it takes to create something and have unrealistic expectations and as a consequence bad mouth creators for what I consider very poor reasons. Fortunately, I don't have to deal with these kinds of customers in my business.

I don't use Genus head, but using BoM I mix tones between head and body quite often with excellent success as long as the skins are very close in tone. The trick is to use the tattoo layer for the body at the very bottom of the stack. Then layer in the tattoo layer for the head just above the body skin tattoo. And lastly, using the bom neckblend on the tattoo layer, not a universal layer, add the neckblend above the head skin. I also use a Picasso Babe skin and use the neck blend that comes with that skin. It's important to follow this order in layering skins that are not exact matches.

I wish I could like this comment a dozen or so times!

In the thread announcing the Third Trick or Treat event, you commented, "What if you don't want the Treat, is there a preferred Trick?" Well the treats in that case were all Boopies.

I've been googling and so far it looks like we started using rigged mesh in standard sizes around 2012. I've found this interesting thread in reddit about the end of standard sizing which was around 2016 here. It's funny, one person commented that the end of standard sizing would be the end of Second Life. *chuckles to self* Ah yes, @Rowan AmoreI do remember Liquid Mesh being the Redgrave term now that you jog my memory. I'm not quite sure why we transitioned from saying fitmesh to simply saying rigged mesh once sizes were being made for particular mesh bodies, but we did. Here is a thread from 2014 on rigged vs fitmesh. I'm not sure, again, poor memory. But I keep thinking we had fitmesh before we had mesh bodies, and that it was the development of fitmesh that allowed the first mesh bodies to be made. But I'll have to do more research when it's not past midnight. I should have been in bed well over an hour ago.

Trying to jog my memory. Before we had rigged mesh, or what we call rigged mesh today, we had mesh in standard sizing. It only responded to a few of the mesh sliders. We basically had five shapes/sizes that were all pretty much the same except for the large, which was more fat than large. But it was all we had until creators started experimenting with "fitmesh". I believe the first one to come out with clothing labeled as "fitmesh" was Redgrave. But that was so long ago that I would not bet on my correctness. More creators started experimenting and meeting with LL devs and what was birthed from that collaboration was the rigged mesh we have today. Rigged mesh finally gave us the freedom to be any size or shape we desired. There are many here who I'm sure have better memories than I do and can speak with more precision. Hopefully they will jump in and do a better job than I can, but perhaps this will give a little more understanding on the subject.

Pixicat is one of my favorite shops. The Alex pants are my go to dress slack: And my all time favorite blazer is the Evelyn jacket worn with or without the turtleneck sweater. I pair up these separates all the time with many different tops and bottoms. They are so versatile! I have the fatpack for both of these. I love them so much I'd gladly pay the full price all over again to get them in LaraX Petite!!

That's incorrect. They basically mean the same thing, but the term fitmesh is no longer used. It was kind of a transition term used by creators when they were figuring out how to get mesh to respond to shape sliders so it could be used for clothing. Rigged mesh means the mesh has been rigged to the bones of the avatar skeleton. That's why rigged mesh responds to the sliders. Once rigged mesh was officially adopted the term fitmesh was basically dropped and the term rigged mesh became the norm.

I kinda feel this way too in the early stages of getting my wardrobe for LaraX Petite started, but I'm trying to find clever ways to mix things up so I don't look like everyone else.

I've not bought anything for 5.3 since I first heard there was going to be a LaraX. So for me, it's LaraX and mostly PetiteX or no sale whatsoever! In fact, at this point you couldn't give me 5.3 stuff for free as I don't want to even sort the stuff. I am THAT in love with the shape of my PetiteX.

Avaway has an extended assortment of rigged necklaces. I have several necklaces from other creators as well. Perhaps your terminology is part of why you are having trouble finding "fitmesh" necklaces. The term fitmesh was only used during the very early stages of rigged mesh development. It's been called rigged mesh for years now. I almost never wear any necklaces that aren't rigged mesh. Earrings and rings are abundantly available in rigged versions. In fact, you can't wear rings unless they are rigged on any finger other than the ring finger. I use elf ears quite often and they are animated so rigged earrings are a must for me. E.Marie and Vibing oftentimes have rigged earrings and/or rings on the Saturday Sale.

This is a retexture of an older release and has had the LaraX and PetiteX sizes added. If you already own that set you can use the HUD for that shirt as well. Same goes for the fatpack of the set, which is located on the wall just below the gift. Fortunately I had the fatpack of the complete outfit, so now I have a shirt, skirt, and boots in LaraX and PetiteX sizes that work with my HUDs from the previously purchased fatpack.

I made this suggestion because back when this change occurred there was a forum post noting the change and also asked if it could be changed. It was explained then by either Quartz or Dyna that the change was necessary and could not be changed. I can't find that thread though.

I finally got round to buying this dress. What the demo didn't show was that when you buy the dress you can wear it as is, or wear it as separates. I took so long to buy because I wasn't sure I liked all the flowers at the bottom of the skirt. Now I can decide if I want flowers or not. Plus I can wear it as simply a skirt or a fur trimmed jacket. It comes with a nice HUD with lots of choices as well. I'm super glad I bought it now!

I don't like shine of any kind most of the time. I always turn materials way down, or all the way to zero, on both my body and my head. That said, there are some skins that have the shine painted on and that's hard to overcome. I have made tattoo layers to counteract that shine if I really, REALLY, love a skin otherwise, but that's rare. Now that PBR is being implemented, those painted on shadows and shine are going to be even more apparent.

Quoting Onyx from Discord, "Instead of a logo you can also just write "LaraX" and "PetiteX" or "LaraX Petite" on your posters." I've been using LaraX and PetiteX when searching the MP. But I have to say, when I've seen LX and PX on vendor covers, it just looks so very clean. I think over time it will stabilize. It's just so new, and creators are scrambling to get things released.

Here are some outfits that I've either purchased already or are in my demo folder waiting to go back and buy. Ison at Dubai Gawk turtleneck, Mait Vintage jeans Dead Doll shorts at Anthem, Ison sweater from Dubai Tori Torricelli at Uber Meva (paired with a BOM shirt) at Uber I tend to dress on the conservative side myself. So can totally relate.

Or they are so busy rigging LaraX and PetiteX content that they've just not listed things on the MP yet. I've seen lots of content from well known designers at several of the shopping events going on currently.

And here in lies the dilemma. Already in this very short thread there are multiple ways people prefer to receive their packages. There is absolutely no way for merchants to win in this situation. You are damned if you do and damned if you don't. Personally, I almost never demo anything at the shop. I grab all the demos and run home to try things. I am one of those people who will try on clothing with other things in my inventory to see if I can use it multiple ways. I would never take up valuable space in a just opened event taking my time to demo things. So I don't care how a demo is sent to me. Doesn't matter. On another note, I know in the past, I had issues with folders being delivered outside the region where my vendor was located. So those who were looking in from a overflow region had issues with gifts being delivered. Not sure if that would play a part, but perhaps yes. I gave up doing events some years ago so don't have that issue anymore. I'm not even sure if the problem still exists for my vendor system. But something to consider.

I own the Biker jeans as well, but I have to admit, I hardly wear the Biker now that I have the Vintage. And with Maitreya having their Black Friday Sale, I'd encourage you to at least demo the Vintage jeans to see if you might want to buy at least one pair, if not a fatpack like me.

They are Maitreya's Vintage Jeans. They come fitted for high and regular waists in all three heel heights. They are absolutely my favorite jeans. If you already own them just get your purchase redelivered. They were updated to X sizes two days ago. update: lol I really should read the thread before responding! But yeah, they are correct!

Okay, while this might not be completely true to the OP, it is a comparison. I've heard many saying they were concerned about being able to get the right proportions with a short avie and the LaraX. I use an avie that is quite short and Debi/Blush are rather in the mid range. Thought I'd share how it worked out for the short avie. I've never liked my avies to look really skinny, but I don't like plump so much either. I try to keep them looking trim and somewhat athletic but not muscular.

Yeah, Blush uses a darker skin than Debi and they don't work for her, but Debi uses Chantilly, which is pretty light. But I hadn't tried all the darker skins as Blush is just a medium olive shade, so was hoping they might work for you. I'm glad the reborn skin works with LaraX!

I'm using itGirls & VELOUR x Picasso skin. I've never looked at the itgirls Queen line, but since the Picasso line is a collaboration between itGirls and Velour perhaps the darker skins in that line might work. I much prefer the Picasso over the Venus line.
