Edited 5/12 to put the right dress into the skinner's package
Edited 5/4/07 to fix the mesh package which was acting oddly Please redownload the dresses.

The longish story : I noticed that the tassel was showing up for me in my playable game, but was absent (as it should have been) in my testing game.  It turned out to be caused by something silly I did with original package, so I put the mesh in a shiny new package that works in both versions.  

I apologize for the mistake and I want to thank Mandie for asking about a mesh with no tassel, which caused me to notice my silly mistake :)

The mesh is included with each set.

** I've also added a file with just the mesh and a Maxis texture for anyone who wants to use it to recolor without having to d/l a bunch of old fashioned dresses,
_________________________________________________________________________

This is my first upload here and the first Sims skinning I've done in a while, but lately I've been messing with historical neighborhoods .  Although there are many amazing maternity outfits for teens here, I couldn't find any that worked with historical type story lines, so I dusted off body shop and Milkshape and made some.  These are cloned off the outfits that come with inteen.  They are essentially alpha edits and recolors with a basic mesh edit to take the tassel off the dress (the mesh is included and feel free to recolor it).  

The fist set is a  Renaissance/ Medieval Set with four color combinations.

Then Victorian Set 1 which includes prints for everyday and a white dress suitable for a bride and a black one for a young widow or a girl in mourning.

Victorian Set 2 includes short sleeved plain and print dresses

The Undies set consists of three colors of corsets worn over a chemise and pantalets

Just put these in your downloads folder.  You will need to either use Squinge's  hack found http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=7238 (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=7238) or use Tom's Clothing Tester as described here (http://www.insimenator.org/showpost.php?p=200883&postcount=10) in order to have your teens wear these.

Thanks for looking and enjoy :)

very nice, thank you! i will now go and make a mideval neiborhood!

happy new year!

Oh very lovely!

very cool!

Thank you, these are really cute!

Love it!! Great job.... my medieval nieghborhood's pregger girls are going to love it!! :)

These are way cool. Thanks!

ok, i have a two huge problems with this as a reenactor.

1.) Victorian corsets don't stop at the waist.  they continue down to the hip--nearly to the joints of the hip not just to the fullest point.

2.) Victorian corsets prevented the expansion of the waist line during pregnancy.  this is why miscarriages and still births were so common during the Victorian era--the baby didn't have the room to grow that it needed.

i prefer my historical Sims to be accurate, this is why i won't do a Victorian neighborhood.

not that your skins aren't beautiful or anything, just saying, you know?

Fair enough, although to be fair to me, these weren't intended to be strictly accurate, and I never said they were.  If you look at my original post, I never said they were Victorian corsets, because I knew when I skinned them that they weren't going to be.   They actually are designed more to mimic earlier corsets which pushed up the breasts and shaped the torso with a secondary emphasis on the waist rather than fashionable High Victorian corsets.  I know that they probably should have straps, in this case, but I didn't like the look of the straps and so got rid of them in early drafts.   The changes were largely due to the requirements of the belly mesh and going back to a regular mesh would have defeated the purpose of doing maternity skins in the first place.  

Actually these are skinned using a reproduction Rennisance Era corset as a reference, but I couldn't do the actual knee length chemise or a shift without considerable meshing and as I wanted them PG rated, the girls had to have some sort of pantalet type things.  Also I did take some leeway with the waists, because aesthetics were more important for my goals than strict accuracy and because for me the relatively minor inaccuracy is better than my historical sims running around in sweatsuits.  But, I can live with a Hollywood version of the past; if I couldn't, as someone who has done a fair amount of research on costume and customs of the past my brain would have exploded long since at the historical things available for Sims.    I respect that you can't and wish you all the best with your Simming :).

These are gorgeous.  Great job!

Thank-you so much for these, I don't care that they're not completely historically accurate-to the untrained eye it looks amazing! This is something I've been having trouble with for a while, because my pregnant Victorian and medival sims didn't have any clothes besides the orignial inteen ones, so thank you so much!

These look great.  I hope to see more in the future.

Wonderful work! I may have to finish my historical hood now!
Thanks for all your hard work dear!

Thanks these are great.

Nice, thanks.

Thnaks everyone :)  I had a rotten day and all the sweet comments put a smile on my face.  I'm so glad you're enjoying the clothes

Finally! I have been waiting for these forever! And they are WAY more historically correct than the pj with BABY on, hehe. Not that it isnt cute, just not right in my medieval village..

Completely wonderful! I've been needing these, and these ones are the best I've found!!!!

These are awesome I needed medieval teen maternity clothes.  Thanks so much.:happy3:

(Thumbs up) awesome makes me wish i could download it. OR did i .Already i forget...

Beeeeeeeautiful! Thanks for those! :)

These are very beautiful!

Thanks for these !!!!! they are wonderful !!! ..

Who do i bug to make me more :P

Thankyou. Just. Thankyou.

I'm bumping this because I've corrected a problem with the original mesh and added a copy of the no tassel mesh with a Maxis texture for anyone who wants to recolor.  If you notice a problem with the mesh please let me know.

Woah, too bad I hadn't seen this sooner! Thanks for the lovely outfits and the new mesh!

Edit: I only downloaded the mesh and the maxis texture for skinners, but it isn't showing in my game. I have bodyshop open right now and it isn't there. :(

It's scary how many people don't know the difference between Renaissance and Victorian periods!

It's also scary how many people don't take the time to read entire post, but I'm a live and let live kinda girl

That would be because errr....someone.....included the wrong dress package in that particular zip :oops:.   It should be fixed now.

Rude and unneccessary. Congrats on the two-fer.

Anyways, this looks great now and it's working fine! :)

The medieval set is exactly what I was looking for!

:does a happy little dance:

Thanks a lot! I was searching those for a long time. It would be really great if you could do some more...

Thanks again you are my rescuer!

These are great, thanks allot!

I am pretty amazed over theese wonderful maternity-clothes, just what I need to be able to add inteen to my historical neighbourhood. I bow for you. Sincearly Mia

love them, thank you Kalynn

These are gorgeous, thank you. I wanted to make a medieval sort of neighbourhood and these are perfect!!!

Very nice thank you.  Just perfect

Oh my goodness, thank you! This has just made my day! Actually, it's probably made my week! The whole reason I downloaded inTeen to begin with was for use in my medieval neighbourhood; I wanted to make it as authentic as possible. Of course, that was thwarted by the fact that the girls either had to walk around in modern clothes, or wear medieval gowns without the baby bump showing, and you have just fixed that! Thank you so very much!

perfect clothes~thank you

How wonderful! This is exactly what I've been searching for. So do you think it'd be possible to make them for adults? If you could my neighborhood would be complete! keep up the good work.

Again I bow to you, I've been looking all over for (historical) teen pregnancy outfits for medieval up to the 19th century and haven't found ANYTHING, this was my last shot, why didn't anyone think of this before?, I mean keeping historically accurate isn't a big deal, but seems weird that everyone makes 21st century teen maternity clothes but none before, thanks for making them, great job.

Thank you. :-)

Thank you so much!  I've been looking for historical teen maternity dresses for an AGE, and to no avail...  Thanks for sharing these with us - now my pregnant medieval teens don't have to spend their pregnancies in jeans and sneakers!   :D

I know this was posted forever-ago, but I just created an account because I simply must have those hairstyles. If ANYONE could please direct me to the right place, that would be beyond fan-freakin-tastic!

Also, you rock something hard, Kalynn! I don't play with teen sims all the much... so any chance these would work for adults, too? :D
