Formal Trumpet Dress Recolors on 6 Body Shapes - Classic Pinup, Fitchick, Fashion Model, Momma Lisa, Rio, and Voluptuous Gal.
So the Repository Wizard is amazing, and I've been using it to make loads of bodyshape clothing. For this project, I've taken preexisting meshes by Warlokk, FrannySims, and Poppyboy and applied various recolors of the original Nightlife Trumpet Dress to them.
The recolors are the following:
Xandher's Chantilly Dress
Xandher's Memoir Formal Gown
Xandher's Vertu Formal Gown
Trapping's That's So 2006 Dress
There are two download versions - one where the textures are repositoried to the aforementioned creators' original AF version and another version where the files stand on their own and aren't dependant on the original file. I HIGHLY recommend downloading the original dresses for AF and using the repositoried files. Seriously, the recolors are like 2kb max. It only makes sense to get the standalone version if you only want one bodyshape.
Anyways, onto the previews.
Xandher's Chantilly Dress pictured on CPU. Boobs censored so I don't get deleted again.
Xandher's Memoir Formal Gown pictured on VolGal (Personal Favorite)
Xandher's Vertu Formal Gown pictured on Rio
Trapping's That's So 2006 Dress pictured on Momma Lisa
Meshes are included of course, (legacy) BSOK's, enabled for young adults and elders as well. Enjoy, and let me know if there are any issues!

“Riley! Wait up!” Drake jogged down the hallway after her.
She barely glanced over her shoulder, “What do you want, Drake?”
“I just want to make sure you’re okay,” he slowed his pace as he caught up with her.
“I’m fine. I’m used to it!” She snapped then softened as she shot him a sidelong glance, it wasn’t his fault. “Thanks for caring though.”
“Of course, I care!” He fell in step beside her, “I know we technically just met but I really like you, Riley and I want to help, if I can.”
“You can’t go back in time and make my boyfriend and best friend not marry each other, so I don’t really know what you think you can do.”
“You make a fair point,” he conceded, “But I’m not a quitter. I can’t fix Liam’s fuck up, but maybe I can help you forget about it for a little bit.”
She stopped at her bedroom door and gave him a considering look, “Are you offering to have sex with me again?”
“What? No! I mean, I would most certainly be open to having sex with you again, but that’s not what I meant!”
“So, what were you offering?” She tipped her head to the side and waited.
“Let me take you out tonight. Somewhere in town, outside the palace. We’ll get a few beers, maybe dance a little. Real dancing, not that ballroom shit. Get you out of your head for a bit.”
“You want to take me out?”
“Yes.”
“Like on a date?”
“Yes.”
“Even though I’m dating your best friend?”
“You’re not dating him. You’re just sleeping with him.”
“And that’s different….how?”
“He has a whole ass wife, Riley, and it’s not you. I’m pretty sure that makes you available regardless of what you do with him behind closed doors. Look, he is my best friend and I’m not trying to cause issues between the two of you, but you don’t seem happy and what I saw back there wasn’t right. You deserve better.”
Riley considered his words. What did she have to lose? She had already arranged to meet with him later to talk about what had happened between them. This would just move the timetable up. And what was wrong with going out for drinks with a friend?
Nothing, right?
“Okay,” she agreed, “When should I be ready?”
***
Drake held open the door of the nondescript luxury sedan for her then walked around to climb into the driver’s seat, “Sorry, I know it’s boring, but I don’t have a car here anymore. Sold it when I moved to Texas, so I had to borrow one from the royal fleet.”
“This is fine,” she assured him, “I won’t hold the stodginess against you.”
Drake laughed at the characterization, “You’ve just described everything about this life!”
“Is that why you left?”
“No. My mom really did need me. I left to go to college, got my bachelor’s degree in animal science then did a four-year stint in the military. After that, I went home to help out for a little bit and the next thing I knew, I was pretty much running the daily operations of the ranch. What about you? How did you end up here?”
“It’s a long story,” she sighed.
“I’ve got time….”
“Okay, well, I had just finished veterinary school and-“
“Wait! You went to veterinary school? And finished?”
“Yes. I had just finished school, but I hadn’t landed a job yet. My dad needed me to fill in for him at the bar, one of his best waiters had quit suddenly and left him in a bind. That’s how I met Liam and Max. I was their waitress. Liam and I hit it off. The next day, Max showed up at the bar and suggested I come back here with him and compete in the social season as House Beaumont’s representative.”
“Wait…you’re telling me that you gave up a career in veterinary medicine to hop on a plane with a guy you just met-“
“It’s not as bad as it sounds!” She laughed, “If you’ll listen! I said no at first. But then he offered to pay all my student loan debt plus cover all costs of the social season. So, after a thorough background check on him and his brother, I decided why the hell not? It let me start my career debt free and I got a free European summer vacation out of the deal. I really thought I’d be back home by fall.”
Drake guided the car into a parking spot then turned to her incredulously, “How the hell did he get you to stay?”
“I fell in love,” she said to her lap, “I really thought….well, after the coronation I packed my shit and went to Ramsford. I was planning to be on the next plane out, but Liam showed up and convinced me to stay. I know that must sound crazy, but I was in love, my heart had just been broken…I wasn’t really thinking clearly. Next thing I knew I was a fucking duchess.”
“But you wanted to be a veterinarian…”
She looked up at the sympathy in his voice, “Oh, I still am! I run a small animal rescue at Valtoria. We take in exotic animals that have been wounded or were confiscated from private owners. We rehabilitate them and if they can’t be released into the wild, they live out their lives there.”
Drake smiled at the excitement on her face as she talked. Her entire being lit up when she talked about animals. “Wow, I can tell you’re passionate about it.”
“Oh, I am!” Her previous bad mood had evaporated, she was all smiles, “I think you promised me beer and dancing. Are we going to do that or are we just going to sit in this bland-ass boring car?”
His grin broadened, “Oh, we are definitely going dancing!”
Ten minutes later they were at the bar finishing their first round of drinks.
“Wait, wait, wait!” Drake laughed, “So your brother rode his bike off the roof of your garage?”
“Yes!” She verified, “We had an old mattress on the ground for him to land on but the bike overshot it and he ended up with a broken arm!”
“Oh no!”
“I mean, it wasn’t funny at the time,” she giggled, “but we still give him hell about it to this day!”
“Hm,” he shook his head with a soft smile, “your family sounds fun.”
“Oh, we’re a laugh riot,” she snorted, “what about you? You said you have a sister?”
“Yeah, just the one sibling. We used to be fairly close, but she moved to Paris a couple of years ago and doesn’t come home to visit much.”
“I’m sorry to hear that,” Riley flagged down the bartender for another round, “My siblings blow up my phone on a daily basis. We have a group chat. They’re a pain in the ass, but I wouldn’t trade them for anything.”
“It’s fine,” he told her as he threw back his second drink, “Now I think you promised me a dance!”
“That I did,” she pushed away from the bar and stood up, “Lead the way, sir!”
He pulled her body close to his as they swayed to the music, “I hope you’re not expecting too much, I’m only halfway good at this.”
Her arms wrapped around his neck as she smiled up at him, “You’re doing just fine.”
“Good to know,” his hands slid down her body to rest on her hips, “it’s been a while.”
“Don’t get out much?”
“Nope.”
“Oh, why not? I’ll bet those Texas women go crazy over you in a cowboy hat!”
“Well as it turns out, the first woman I’ve wanted to drive crazy in a long time wasn’t in Texas.”
“Oh yeah? Where was she?”
His hands moved around to the small of her back as he tugged her closer, “I’ll let you figure that out.”
The only answer she gave him was a smile as he swung her around the dance floor. Four songs later they left the dance floor breathless and collapsed into chairs at a corner table.
Riley kicked her shoes off under the table as Drake flagged down a waiter.
They were still at the table laughing and talking when the last call was sounded. “You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here!” the voice over the intercom announced.
“Guess we should get back,” Drake pushed away from the table and offered her his hand.
She let him pull her up as she responded, “I really don’t want to go back to the palace right now.”
“No?”
“No.”
“Well come on then,” he grinned at her, “I have somewhere else we can go!”
