Revamps: Silk Bow Shirts

September 17, 2019, 12:30 pm by

I never once wanted to use the old ones, but can we stop with the colors that are just barely not gray? And I agree with the people saying these are basically a completely new item. This is far more than a lineart update that most revamps are in general

September 16, 2019, 5:13 pm by

I prefered the old ones. -_-

late to the party, but i genuinely thought these were new vests to go along with the other clothes in Five Seven Five, not a revamp.

September 15, 2019, 3:28 pm by

Wow. New art is cute but this is not the same item at all anymore.

September 15, 2019, 9:49 am by

err, what? ok, but these are completely different items though...where has the belly covering gone? it's not really a shirt anymore? i'm sure i'll use these as is, but i'm definitely with all the people who have already stated these could've been released as Five Seven Five items or something (colours and style would've fit right in!)...i guess i'm just glad i don't have any favourite outfits which rely on the look of the old version...not like when the raven feet got revamped... so thanks for these new items i guess!

Nope the old style did not look cool on dudes either haha! Its fine, I've given them away to my friends that are more suited for the style.

To be fair, I think some bases need a revamp - especially the colorful ones.

It would be food if the base line got thinner. Many items with ticker lines don't match well against many of the new backgrounds and backdrops as of late (and especially the bases) so it would be a good thing for the team to look into!

September 14, 2019, 5:28 pm by

I wish there were some way to revert to an older design, for those who don't like certain revamps. Would be cool if there was an NPC or something for it.

These don't even look the same though. Could have been a completely new set of shirts.

September 14, 2019, 3:26 pm by

There's shirts aren't popular in my wardrobe and the revamp isn't my cup of tea, but the art is cute.

September 14, 2019, 2:46 pm by

God these needed this. I will say that while these colors ARE perfectly fashionable for this fall, they're also lacking the prints and textures that make these muted tones work for this year's fall season. They need more bright shades, since patterned versions are likely not coming.

I like the revamp even if it is dramatic. The bows are super cute. n_n

For some reason Diamond Soil looks like a fantasy garment to me. These look like something you'd find at Torrid, specifically. Torrid does this thing where they make clothes that are cute but that really need an underlayer to be work/school-appropriate; they're so into the idea that larger people shouldn't be afraid to bare their skin that they sometimes seem to forget there are places in life where nobody needs to be showing off skin. I agree with and that these are not really "shirts" any more and even though I thought the old shirts were ugly as sin, they were actual office shirts.

The lines of the item could also fit into the festival garments section of Dolls Kill but the little bow sorta tips it over into the area where it's spectacularly failing to be a work shirt. I mean it's kind of telling that I did immediately think of the OC I'm playing who is currently nursing her children and how convenient she'd find these for that.

Did the old ones look good on dudes? O.@ I mean we need more items on this site that are friendlier to people who have a more butch/masc gender presentation than not, and it's a really big need, but I don't think you can expect one set of femme garments to be revamped into anything but another set of femme garments.

Regarding the colourways... As a person who does a lot of fantasy avatars and heavily uses Fine Fabrics and 575 items, it's nice to have more stuff that matches. But as a person who does a lot of avatars of colour, I agree with the many people who are also requesting more saturated, brighter colours in addition to the ones that we already have. I find that the very muted, greyed tones do not look as great on darker bases. I expect to get the most use out of the burnt orange and mauve ("dusky rose") ones.

I'm really glad to see more and more inclusive items, in terms of natural hair styles and makeup/tattoo variations for darker bases. It'd also be really fantastic if some item sets were released that were optimised for being worn on darker skin tones.

Since a lot of people who are lamenting the loss of the old item liked the collar specifically and used these shirts under sweaters/vests/jumpers for layers, could we bring that back as a layering item?

September 14, 2019, 9:22 am by

I like the revamp - the shirts needed it. I think I might've preferred for these to be just a whole new item now, though. They're not really a shirt anymore, just sort of a vest-like drape. Now I think they just look similar to

Also agree, these look like they could be part of the newer Five Seven Five items. I like the colors, but I do wish we could get some brighter colored items (and black and white) as well.

Whew! wipes forehead Missed this announcement by a long shot, but I already had all except one.

I really like the lineart, however, I do agree that it does look somewhat out of place against the thick lineart of the HA. If it would be possible to thin out the HAs lineart, then all the recent clothes wouldn't have such an extreme contrast.

September 14, 2019, 7:21 am by

I... don’t get it? These are not shirts anymore? ?

September 14, 2019, 5:17 am by

I don't mind the revamp or the colours (it's nice to have a range of colours that aren't eye-bleedingly saturated) but something needs to be done about the lineart. It might be alright on it's own, but it looks terrible against the thicker lineart of the avatar base.

September 14, 2019, 4:53 am by

I'd just like to add that i'm actually a fan of the thinner lineart. I think it looks much nicer than the thick lineart.

September 14, 2019, 1:31 am by

o.o goes to dress on ;p

September 14, 2019, 12:49 am by

I do like the new lines - and the new cut too! I hope more colors will come around too, brighter tones and black and white would be great.

Happy to see more items getting revamped!

September 14, 2019, 12:31 am by

Woah, funny. Was just hemming and hawing over a new HA who needed this shirt yesterday, but it was too dated to use. Funny how Friday the 13th rewarded me with some luck! Thanks guys <3

September 13, 2019, 11:44 pm by

I really like these - I prefer thinner lineart, it helps with layering and overall aesthetic, at least for the type of stuff I usually dress my avi in. The muted colors are very nice in contrast to the bright stuff, but I do agree that bolder colors as an extra addition would be hella rad too.

September 13, 2019, 11:27 pm by

Yeah-nah... They don't cater for my Manly chest o.0

September 13, 2019, 11:17 pm by

Very nice! I like em!!

September 13, 2019, 11:09 pm by

All I can. I’m glad I had these in my vault.

September 13, 2019, 10:09 pm by

I didnt care for the old ones - love these!

September 13, 2019, 10:07 pm by

I agree they are very different, and have thin line art issues, but I do like the new design.

September 13, 2019, 9:54 pm by

very nice

September 13, 2019, 9:28 pm by

I love the new look! Thankfully I already have 3 in my wardrobe :D

September 13, 2019, 9:12 pm by

The little collar on them was my favorite part. Now its gone. Oh well.

September 13, 2019, 8:57 pm by

oh... not really a fan of this new style, and these also have the thin lineart and gray shading issue. the shirts' original design was super cute, even though the art itself was a tad outdated. i would have preferred to just see the same style with better perspective and shading. this is one of the few times where i'm actually really bummed out by a revamp because i quite liked these shirts and would have loved to see them made more usable, but these are just... kinda ugly and way too different.

September 13, 2019, 8:35 pm by

I was literally wondering if these were going to be revamped just yesterday. I guess my answer is they would be changed altogether.

I think they're cute but it does feel like a new item instead.

September 13, 2019, 8:26 pm by

Would've liked to see the old design just get prettied up to look newer and nicer and these to be released as a separate item, they're so different from the originals. I liked the look of the old shirts, but the older art made them harder to match with things.. but now these go for an entirely different style area. x.x

September 13, 2019, 8:14 pm by

I want there to be a bright pink one cus it reminds me of Sailor Moon's mid-transformation pink ribbon body suit.

September 13, 2019, 8:02 pm by

Yeah, the thin lineart is weird... and dang, these are so different! I'm neutral on both versions of these shirts but I really don't get why these couldn't just be separate items... I don't like these dramatically different revamps.

September 13, 2019, 7:57 pm by

Raise your hand if you're tired of items with little to no lineart.

September 13, 2019, 7:34 pm by

there is no reason these need to have your stomach showing... thats actually really stupid. they're barely the same item anymore

September 13, 2019, 7:33 pm by

the thinner lineart gets on wearables the weirder it looks on the avatars. neutral on the change but the lineart with whoever this artist could go just a scooch heavier, imo.

September 13, 2019, 7:31 pm by

I like the design, but I don't like that the stomach is visible. You can't layer as well with these, but I do like the design of the bow.

September 13, 2019, 7:19 pm by

Wow so different! I like the new design, though I'm not as sure about the colors...I wish they were brighter. Still nice though!

September 13, 2019, 6:50 pm by

well, I live in California so it might be too far to commute and I'm very busy, but I'm always happy to talk about clothes. just let's not spam the thread TOO much... :)

September 13, 2019, 6:41 pm by

omg can you help me with my IRL closets? lol Seriously though, the idea of doing DiY with some of the bits is awesome! I'll have to keep that idea in mind.

September 13, 2019, 6:33 pm by

i'm usually against big changes in revamps but the old ones were so irredeemably ugly i'm glad their "design" is completely gone lmao. the new ones are kinda weird too but the colors are nice.

September 13, 2019, 6:21 pm by

I never liked the old ones so these are a HUGE improvement. Still probably won't use them because they're not my style. They could have easily been a new item though because they are VERY different...

September 13, 2019, 5:59 pm by

Unlike some I've read I really like the muted/greyish colors and the design is really nice though I wouldn't have objected to a whole new design also rather then a replacement. On the whole these are very nice looking.

September 13, 2019, 5:59 pm by

Well that is completely different. I do like them a lot, though.

September 13, 2019, 5:57 pm by

Yeah these SHOULD have been new items. I mean I like these, and the old ones did need a revamp. But this isn't a revamp. I revamp would just be updating the art, not turning an item into something totally different. Sometimes we get new items that could have been revamps of an old item, and sometimes we get "revamps" that could be totally new items. I don't understand that.

September 13, 2019, 5:54 pm by

not a fan of this color pallet, tbh. really hope for brighter/more saturated stuff soon :c

September 13, 2019, 5:42 pm by

hate it, should have been new items also the colors are completely washed out

September 13, 2019, 5:35 pm by

These needed a revamp? There was nothing wrong with the originals. Guess those of us who actually used them are out of luck now.

September 13, 2019, 5:24 pm by

omg that sounds like something I'd do.

I'm purging my IRL wardrobe right now because I have two overflowing closets and I keep going back and forth on some items between donate/sell or chop up and use the nice bits. I have removed multiple fancy collars from dead tops, too.
