About this mod
A new outfit including three gowns (short sleeve, bracelet, and long-sleeved versions) in three different colors, each with matching boots, sandals, fur-lined gloves, cloaks, and hoods that work with MOST hairstyles.

- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
VERSION 3.0 UPDATE
Details:
-Entirely reworked meshes and new rigging (some clipping still exists - not changing it at this point, it's only noticeable on large-motion movements like swinging a war-hammer in a power-attack), as well as overhauling of textures to consolidate all gown pieces onto one texture.
-A whole new vampire texture version for those of you saying you've been enjoying this for vampire ladies (it's in the same chest).
-Survival mode support SHOULD be added on all items (sleeveless versions are for warm climates, sleeved versions for cold, cloaks should include things too now, as should hoods and gloves and shoes).
-One of the cloaks had the wrong slot assigned. This has been changed now.
Update Instructions:
1. Remove earlier versions of the gowns from your character, and if possible entirely from your inventory by placing them in a barrel or chest or something (to be safe).
2. Uninstall the old version files following the uninstall instructions listed below or by using your mod manager.
3. Download and install the Version 3.0 version, and install as usual.
4. Load your game and pick up the new version from the chest (you may need to wait for the chest to reset in the cell - 30 in game days).
Please let me know if you encounter any further problems.

VERSION 2.0 UPDATE
Details:
-Collision meshes fixed (drop the dresses on the floor all you like, no more game crashes)
-Sleeves and bracelets now added to dress meshes. To deal with this, each gown now has three versions (short sleeves, bracelets, and long sleeves).
-I think I added survival mode support, but as I don't actually have survival mode myself, I can't say for certain.
-The chest has been updated to include all new items. Old sleeve and bracelet items and meshes have been removed entirely and are now built into the gowns.

Hey everyone,
This is my first mod for Skyrim that I'm releasing, so please be kind. If there are major problems (like something is invisible or missing), please post in the comments or add a bug report. I'll provide support if possible, but I may not be able to assist everyone.
This mod is released for Skyrim Special Edition only, and is Nexus exclusive. It will not be released anywhere else, or for Oldrim. Thanks.

I. MOD DETAILS
The theory behind the outfit is to provide swappable pieces that can be combined and removed for roleplay purposes. In our own world, medieval clothes were expensive and washing them not always possible, and so they often came with detachable sleeves, in layers, and with different accessories to adjust style and increase the longevity and usefulness. The modular aspect of this mod was inspired by Skyrim's biomes. Gowns with sleeves are provided for snowy regions, and items like sandals for places where it's warm. The entire ensemble is designed to be attractive but also practical (no chainmail bikini's here).
All pieces are considered clothing in game, meaning you should be able to enchant them. You may experience some seams at the joints of the wrist, forearm, or calves if pairing it with other meshes.
Each gown includes:
The hoods and cloaks included in this mod are special. The hoods for non-beast races are specifically shaped to accommodate MOST custom hairs. These are not wigs. You can wear a helmet under the hood if you like. They simply function as hoods should, and your hair stays put. For high ponytail or large hairstyles, there may be clipping. This is unavoidable. To accommodate as many hairs as possible, I have provided a slim version and a wide version of the hood. These hoods have been tested with a few hairstyles from KS Hairdos, and are compatible with most vanilla hairs. The hoods do not accommodate the hairstyles from beast races, because they have distinctly different head shapes, but a special hood has been provided for Argonians and Khajiit that will match the outfits, but remove hair.
II. REQUIREMENTS
-Skyrim.esm
-Update.esm
This should work with other body types (maybe not the sandals depending on the options. I've reworked the entire mesh to work with the vanilla body. The sandals use a femfeet mesh with toes. I recommend a vanilla body with UNP textures for best results. I'm currently using Nordic Faces vanilla body with a retexture for a UNP body and it's fine in my game.
III. INSTALLATION
Manual
1. Choose ONE file and download manually.
2. Unzip the file into the game folder to install the .ESP, Textures, and Meshes.
Mod Manager
1. Download.
2. Allow the mod manager to install the required files (there is no mod installation menu for this mod)
The gowns and accessories can be found in a noble chest behind the counter in Solitude's Bits and Pieces. There is no crafting menu available as there are so many pieces I felt it would significantly clutter up the crafting options. If you want to add the pieces by console command, a search for "elegant" will bring up all the necessary pieces. If you don't know how to do that, there's guides available online that can explain it for you with pictures.

V. KNOWN ISSUES
This is my first attempt at an outfit mod, and I had to learn everything as I went, so this mesh is far from perfect. The biggest problem is at the very bottom back edge of the skirt, which has clipping issues when walking/running. I tried to repaint the bones on this but all attempts continued to fail, so this is the best version I could get of it. The rest of the mesh moves with the body really well, and some clipping is to be expected because of the type of movement. If I succeed in fixing it at a later date, I will release an update.
I have no been able to sort out collision for the clutter meshes of the outfits. Some have them from the meshes I based them from, but others are entirely new (bracelets and sleeves). If you drop them in the game, the collision may act weird, and as a result, your game could crash. If you don't want them anymore, stick them in a barrel or chest or other container and leave them behind. Don't just drop them on the ground. Sorry I don't know how to fix this. I did try. FIXED IN VERSION 2.0
Sometimes the sleeve meshes won't show up. I don't understand what's causing this. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't, and the only thing that appears to fix this is quitting the game and reloading again. If I figure out WHY this happens or how to fix it, I'll issue a release. For now, it might be a weird thing with my files due to how I was testing edits. If you experience this, please leave a comment with the version you're using and the specific parts of the outfit which are causing problems so I have more information with which to track it down. :) Thanks. FIXED IN VERSION 2.0

Each gown includes:
- A short-sleeved dress
- A dress with bracelets
- A dress with long sleeves
- Fur-lined gloves
- Leather sandals
- Fur-lined ankle-boots
- A custom cloak -- Uses Body Slot 46 (chest primary or outergarment)
- A fur-lined hood (for elves, orcs, and human races, these hoods show hair) -- Uses Body Slot 45 (neck)
The hoods and cloaks included in this mod are special. The hoods for non-beast races are specifically shaped to accommodate MOST custom hairs. These are not wigs.
