New Mogstation items: Faerie Tale Princess

[Kacho_Nacho]

The high placement of the waist is definitely a big part of why the dress looks 'off' to me. It's not how that style of dress is normally shaped (either historically or by "Disney princess" designs) - the bodice is supposed to be longer and the skirt sits at the waist. Here, it sits just under the bustline and it changes the look of it a lot.

I suspect (as someone suggested earlier) the dress was originally modelled for Lalafells, and to cut corners they reused that bodice shape and just resized the skirt rather than actually modifying the dress to fit the different character models.

I photoshopped it to compare how it looks with a lower skirt placement:

Off topic: Great job with the photoshopping! Can you share how you did it?

Oh topic, I agree with your assessment that the fairytale princess gown was made with lalafell in mind. The bodice should have been lengthened as you suggest so the skirt sits on the waist. I wonder if we can convince the art dept to take a second look at the fairytale dress? For a mog station item, it should be and can be better than it currently is.
