Revamps: Silk Bow Shirts

September 13, 2019, 5:21 pm by

I can almost see how the end result could have been someone upcycling those old old blouses by literally cutting off the sleeves and midriff fabric, which is kind of funny.

yeah, that kinda sucks, I'm sorry--you would have liked to be able to have both!

They really should keep items more or less the same type of item.

... Wow, that's a drastic change. :/ The item went from something similar to short-sleeved bow blouse to something that resembles a fancier scarf vest. I'm kind of surprised that Subeta insists on doing a 180 with certain revamps when users have usually expressed disappointment when it's done.

The art style and colours make me feel like these could be in a set with the somewhat recent Five Seven Five wearable releases. Overall, I think they definitely would've been better off as new items because of how different they are compared to the old ones. It's a shame because the art itself is nice, the new "shirts" are definitely useable (I might have one or two in my wardrobe). I think users would have loved them if they were their own item instead.

tl;dr - I like the art, I dislike the fact that it's a completely different wearable now.

I don't like these colours but I approve the new design. They're very different but the old ones were unusable imo

These are very stylish, very chic. I like 'em.

I didn't love the old ones, don't love the new ones, but I agree that it probably could be a new item, they are very different.... kind of want the old ones to layer underneath the new ones....

I suppose I probably do agree with you that it should've been a new item (even if that meant some would be selling for 80m SP and I wouldn't be able to get them for MONTHS--I think the primary reason I'm happy about these is that I was able to grab a few while they were still already under 100K, and my gourmand is still waiting for some of those ice pops to be reasonably priced). Again, sorry about that!

I do agree that they probably should make new items if they want to make it radically different. I am still salty about the Vampire Trenchcoat which is now a short jacket that is not reminiscent of Spike's coat at all, and also irritated about the changes of the Keith plushies to plushies of other characters. (I work in the health care field and have supported medical researchers and ended up with a Maybel plushie out of that; having seen the aftermath of "animal liberation" break-ins I would never have bought that.) I also was kinda irritated that the book about Keith's Amy Lee thing got turned into a wholesome story about life with many kids because I had to pull it out of a pet TC that it no longer belonged in.

So I guess my head is with you, even though I'm still happy I got all the cute tops without having to wait for them to come down under 50M SP.

Hate the revamp. Plus side? I can get more stuff out of my wardrobe. 👍

I love these and I can't say that I was particularly fond of the previous versions, but I do agree that these could have been completely new items instead of a revamp.

I legit actually used to wear these for layering under vests/jackets and things. :) I like the revamp and still agree with what other users have said.

Heh I was just looking at the old ones yesterday going "nah". Better change.

September 13, 2019, 4:11 pm by

That's a big change, but I still like them. Not sure about them covering less though...

September 13, 2019, 4:11 pm by

These are nice, but I agree that they're so different now that they should have just been new items.

I think the artist deleted the line layers by accident? they didn't need a revamp, and this would be better as a complete new item

The way the original is shaded is very unflattering, yes. But this actual type of shirt can look very nice IRL so I don't see why it wouldn't have looked nice with new art instead of a style change lol. The original was really good for adding your own unique layering spin to with collar / vests. The new version.. not so much.

Is black lineart just not a thing for wearables anymore?

September 13, 2019, 4:10 pm by

...but they are so very different that I didn't realise this was the item that was revamped--I've seen the old ones many times, just never on anyone's avatar.

Apologies, then! I didn't think anyone liked the old ones because they always sell for pocket lint.

I like the idea of a silky high necked blouse with a bow-collar (I own a couple), but I always thought the front draping was very unflattering.

So cute! I use these a lot and they look a lot better. Thank you!
