These pieces were given a revamp on 8/15/14. The results can be seen in the second image of each item. There were many complaints, most of which revolving around the jewelry. These pieces were updated 1/21/15. The results are in the third image of each set. The wig and kimono will receive no further updates, per Rah's comment.

It'd be really helpful if you added the images from the old version so people can see how dramatic of a difference the line had.

The thickness of the lines, particularly on the jewelry is the biggest dissapointment. Everything seems to appear bulkier rather than the delicate lines before.

The hair is also a disapointment, the color is nice but it looks so bright and almost cartoonish. I love the changes made to the kimono, never understood the point of the sleeves.

I've been dreading this revamp, and apparently with good reason. It looks terrible, and cheap. The wig is just a hot mess and why is it all yellow and cartoony and huge now? It used to be so delicate.

The only thing that looks better is the kimono. I really do like the new one, but god I'm just so disappointed in the rest of this revamp. :c

Looking to buy this!

Awesome! Essh, the bright yellow with the thick black is just so harsh.

Also found a SubQ invite, oh the irony. XD

Eek. Putting them next to each other is just awful.

I like the coloring of the kimono better, but the old one had better sleeve design. I think the new one will be limiting. And oh, that yellow. It's terrifying.

What really bothers me is that the item images for the jewelry are still orange like the old ones. The bright yellow is only on the overlay, so it doesn't even match.

The strings on the anklets are a little too dark for my tastes as well. It'll be a little harder to layer now.

The thick, black lineart is killing me. Things changed, I just don't enjoy it. I can live with the kimono even if I liked the former sleeves. But the rest? No.

I'm selling my whole set out, there's not a thing workable this time.

Rainyday revamps are frustrating me, as they were my favorite pieces of the wardrobe. Now everything looks flat, with thick likes and plastic looks. I feel ripped off for the time it took me to complete the sets.

leh sigh Welp. Also, I added the full outfit to the very top. Arvee is still operating on old item images.

The color choices are too saturated now so the outfit doesn't have an ethereal feel to it anymore. Reducing the muted red and adding the bright yellow was a poor decision. I agree that it looks flatter, the hair in particular.

I think the pieces don't look too bad on their own, it's when they're all together that they look a bit jarring. I think it's particularly the head piece,

I agree with the sentiment that the jewelry colour change is quite drastic, but I think the artist was trying to make the jewelry "stand out" from the other colours of the set (in the original art the jewelry blends in).

I wonder if did the revamp, I think this was originally her set as well?

The wig looks much better now, in my unpopular opinion. It was so flat and shiny, and the revamp seemed to make it softer for me. I do like the wig, and that is the only piece of this revamp I like. I really dislike the jewelry. That yellow...

Oh, and this is a minor annoyance but it really bugs me when the colors in the item image do not match the colors in the overlays. The items (especially jewelry) have that lovely red-orange in them. The overlay doesn't. Look at the jewel in the flare wrap for a good example.

not feeling all that yellow. plus the ankle wraps, those lines... i liked the delicate thinness of the accessories.

the new auras are nice, and the wig is nice too, except the bangs bother me a bit.

I'm going to miss the old kimono It lost a lot of character :c I liked the way it was bunched up and how the old sleeves looked. Also not overly fond of that bright ass yellow. The suns look like they belong to an entirely different set.

I'm very sad about this revamp :c This was one of my favorite sets and I loved the kimono and the ankle wraps. The Kimono was my ultimate favorite, though. I honestly don't see why the artist revamped it, it didn't look like it needed a revamp.

I dislike the new Kimono, it doesn't flow nicely like the old one did, the hair looks too big, and I really don't like the bright yellow suns :/ they look cheap and doesn't fit well in the set at all ;w;. All in all, I miss the old one ;w;

The two pieces I really don't like are the headpiece and anklet thingies. The addition of all that yellow looks weird when the outfit is all put together, but I totally wish I had that kimono ;-;
