If you make a dress, instead of patterning it, put a half-ish transparent layer on top of the bottom half, the same as the skirt bit you used for the dress but shorten it a bit and size it inwards, and pattern that.

If you make the pattern partially transparent as well it looks even better. Gothic patterns work best. You can buy them with your emeralds in the market.

Also partially transparent arms for your dress look great too, especially the the long wavy one and the short puffy one nearby to it. Try patterning them the same as the bit you put over the skirt.

Using the boot laces as ties on the front of the chest part of the dress looks nice too, and there are a few pieces you can use as a zip from the trim section if that looks better with your design.

You should make a tutorial video or some images :)

Thanks all of you. They are all in the fashion contest. I am only good at this because i spend so much time doing this. I wish i could make animals and colour in the colouring books like some of you other emerald members do. Some of your pictures are great. Why don't you reply by showing me some of your fashion pictures you love, or you can ask me quesions if you have any about this sort of thing.

"life is a game, play it well"-me and a friend made that quote together, I said something and the friend made my comment into this amazingly true little sentence.
"be glad you haven't got about as much bravery as a carrot, cause that's as much as I have"-me again seriously it's true in real life >_<
