ABOUT THIS MOD:
===============================================

This started from several sources of inspiration and kind of grew from there. It adds three sets of Victorian-style high society clothes: voluminous lace gown for female, breeches and waiscoat with lace collar for the male in similar colour scheme.

The gown is a conversion of this mod: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=28809 - I liked it so much, that my original plan was to just comvert it for Robert's female, as I don't use HGEC or like monster boobies! This then went another stage on, with me adding to the mesh, making a proper cleavage and creating new textures based on Speedbuster's.

The male suit is based upon Room207's mod: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=28753 - again, I loved the mesh so much that I simply had to use it. I added to that one too, along with a bit of re-UV'ing to fit my texture ideas; the addition of a jewelled dress dagger completed his outfit.

Because I don't actually play female characters, I came up with the idea of putting the clothes on a few of the upper-class NPC's in the game, both male and female. The gowns and suits can also be purchased from Northern Goods and Trace in Chorrol (Seed-Neeus) and Divine Elegance in Imperial City (Palonirya). Their stock respawns.

Each outfit is gender sensitive, so if you're female, you get the gown, if male you get the suit. Icons are gender-specific as well to reflect the large difference in the outfits.

Clothes are made for Robert's male and female bodies only.

14 Oct 2010: Skin part of dress meshes fixed to stop the white flickering effect. Thanks to Tanya for discovering and fixing this annoying problem!

===============================================
INSTALLATION:
===============================================
This mod should consist of:
Meshes folder
Textures folder
Slof's Victorian Clothes.esp

Just drag all these (minus the readme) onto the data folder in your Oblivion directory and they will go where they are meant to.

For those new to installing mods, I recommend reading this: http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=550589 - It will save me having to answer the same questions over and over again. It's not difficult, just takes a little practice!

===============================================
KNOWN ISSUES OR BUGS:
===============================================
Clothes are sold from custom containers, but anything that modifies certain NPC's attire may conflict.
Also, these meshes are quite a heavy poly-count, so use with care if dressing lots of people in them.
There may be some clipping in extreme poses. I've tried to eliminate it as much as possible.

Works best with Robert's seamless male & female bodies - it may give less than acceptable results without, such as wonky textures.

===============================================
INCOMPATIBILITIES & SAVED GAME WARNINGS:
===============================================
Should be few. Incompatible with any other bodies but Robert's.

===============================================
CREDITS & PERMISSIONS:
