Lemme preface this by saying Delish lines are some of my favourite things on the site. I'd say the artist is my favourite on site, as the quality of her work is honestly stunning and I love both the fine details and sharp yet flowing style she carries throughout her work. I would be heavily against another artist taking up the Delish mantle because her style is so distinctive and almost always is of a very high calibre.
I kinda love how the sets focus around such bold pieces. I can always rely on Delish to give me a starting point if I'm struggling with ideas for an outfit. There are some items I'll admittedly never use (I always buy all the complete sets) so perhaps it would be great if we could see more balance - these big statement pieces combined with more versatile lines.
I think Delish Material and Calm were really fantastic sets that gave you some great intricate yet versatile pieces. Great basic colours, great use of gold to time them together.
I'd definitely be here for more black sets. Delish likes to use colour, which is great, but black is always a great counterbalance and can find its way into any scheme. And white, too.
Green is an interesting one. Loyal, Sincere, Brave and Observe all use quite a bold green but also combine it with other colours when it's quite tricky to nail anyway, in my experience, because there are just so many shades. I wouldn't be against more green but paired with more neutral accents if so.
I love any line with sheer pieces because of their versatility. Smaller items with strong textures would be nice additions. Lace, sheer, whatever works for me.
I will 100% support more shorts. I barely ever wear trousers on site because they are so dominating and I really like designing around leg layers, even with male avatars. The site is still lacking a great range of basic shorts - the Uncomfortably Short Shorts remain one of the few staples that allow you to play freely with legs.
Furthermore, I really would like to see fewer boots and more flats, more shoes that show the ankles. I rarely use boots because, again, it cuts off the leg layers. They're usually quite intricate, too, but I will never start an avatar designing from the boots up so barely ever find a use for some of the more fancy designs. With both boots and flats and everything in between, I'd appreciate simplicity.
Also I think the artist is much better on more recent sets but I don't really care for the mid-length male wigs. I appreciate the Delish Cees Hair Balm was the first of the recent wave of sets but anything in that style has been done time and time again across salon styles. I'd appreciate anything less fantasy, more modern, particularly as we haven't received new hair coupons in quite some time. A lot of the more recent options seem to have been warmly received, though, with Stardust and Material in particular seeing frequent usage. I loved the Blaze hair for females as it was a lot sleeker, cleaner, less needlessly complicated than some other styles.
I was actually just discussing this the other day with some friends.
My initial thought was maybe a birthstone line (jewel tones). In keeping with the underlying fantasy theme, they could be done as more elemental spirits sssociated with specific climates/terrains.
Ultimately, I love having 2-3 statement pieces, but the majority of the set should be versatile for layering purposes. My personal preference is for the accessories or the less widely used layer items to be the statement pieces. It allows for quite a bit more creativity by the avatar maker.
Seconding shorts. I've noticed the lack of longer shorts on the site compared to short shorts. I would use leotards and speedo-type clothes. Anything that's form-hugging and could be worn under bulkier pieces. Also: I think after a point the blushes and lipsticks get repetitive. They could be left out in future sets unless they are truly something that can't be substituted by a cheaper item.

Is simple and minimalistic a color?
Also white, yellow, and teal.
I see you say the Delish line is specifically fantasy themed. It wasn't fantasy themed until the Limited Edition Enchanter/Magus sets. Did those sets just outsell the previous sets to the point that the focus of the line changed? Did the artist change and the new artist is better, more comfortable with fantasy styles?
Pastel colours, turquoise, white, beige, grey, black, pink... And more flowy dresses, skirts and sleeves. And more slit maxi skirts and dresses, as well.
The artist has always been the same. I think the themed sets marked a big divergence for the Delish lines, massively increasing the releases to two per month for an extended period of time. She also draws the Vanity sets so is definitely comfortable across both styles. Perhaps Vanity was intended as an outlet for those more realistic styles but didn't really meet the sales expectations after the move away from the random chance model, or maybe the workload of both Delish and Vanity proved a tad overwhelming.
The final realistic Delish sets (Demure and Creation) were in April 2014 and the final Vanity (which were pick and buy what you want) were in January 2015. Before the move to so many releases, Delish was like a more high end, couture/runway inspired fashion line that followed many inspirations. I asked about a possible artist change because of the dramatic shift in not only production, but style influence. Maybe it was only the change in the market? Hopefully people will start to crave more universal, wearable fashion in the future.
Yeah I looked at the dates too and it didn't really point to any correlation, there were a lot of real life inspired Delish lines between the first Vanity release and last so shrug. Maybe it was a reflection of changing expectations and trends through CWs, maybe it was just the themes lending to more fantastical designs. I'd definitely be in favour of less fantasy influence through the Delish sets, though, even if it's just occasionally.
First, Verid is awesome. I'm loving the influx of things that have 10 or 20 CWs variants but no sP parallels. Basically the crown. I love the crown. Also the color choice is great. Second - More sleeves. All kinds.
I don't have much to say by way of colors (Though I would like more black), but more things that lean a bit more toward Enchanter/Magus, Silence/Forever - not as high fantasy as the zodiac sets, but more whimsical pieces.
I would love to see more lighter colored designs.

very muted pink or yellow please!!!! light delicate colors!
I think everyone has hit my most of my wishes for the series (more yellow and vibrant colors are my top picks). More sets that focus on more than one color would be good, like what Brave/Observe did, and bolder lip colors.
More Lime/Neon Green please! More Tan/Earthy Browns Slate Blue
Also not really a color but more translucent and or sheer fabrics. Along with pattern templates that can be layered over various other Delish clothing pieces to create your own personal look.
