Short Summary
Contributors fund the creation of this gown design by Junbug in Second Life:
This project is for the creation of a mesh version (in 5 sizes) of this gown design. Many hours of work go into creating a gown this complex - so I'm letting my customers decide what they want most! This makes for a fun experience (I hope!) for you guys to be able to chose and support the designs you like most and influence what is made. Whilst also offering you original mesh gowns at half the price or more of what customers will pay in world after the gown is made. And it's a way of ensuring my time investment is most productively spent.
So if you like this gown and want it, made a donation and let's make it happen! :)
What We Need & What You Get
We need an initial cover cost for the full time week or more of work involved in creating a custom mesh gown of this detail. $500 does not cover all labour and time but it is a good start! By allowing customers to decide what they want made and offering it to them at a heavy discount by paying up front we want to provide a unique level of interaction and purchasing unlike anything in SL at present.
You should be rewarded for outlaying any money and so you will be! Take a look at the different levels of funding available.
What is the point of this for you?
- You decide what YOU like most and want made. Every donation amakes a difference.
- By effectively pre-purchasing the gown design you are receiving a heavy discount on what the gown will sell for in world and on the marketplace after it is released to the general public.
- Have fun! Grab a bargain and you decide what should be made.
What is the point of this for us?
- An innovative new way to let public opinion deicide what will be made. Not just one or two people's thoughts.
- Providing our customers with good value as well as personal interaction.
- Ensuring that the initial outlay of labour is done with the complete backing of our customer base.
It's a win win for both customers and for Junbug.
When donating you must provide your SL avatar name (not display name!) in the comment or description field in Paypal so that your name will be added to the appropriate list and you will be sent your purchase when ready and completed.
If the target funding of $500 is not reached by the 17th of August any pledges given will be refunded. There is no risk to you and your support will be greatly appreciated!
Conversely if the target is reached before the closing date donations will still be open to any who wish to support the design and buy a discounted copy before it opens for public sale at the higher price. Donations for the project will be closed by the end date above -no more will be accepted after that date and the gown will only be available at full price to any who wish to buy it from that date onward.
Disclosure - Every effort will be made to replicate this style as closely as possible. But do keep in mind due to SL polygon limitations some smaller details of the design may be altered if it is not possible to create exactly.
About the Gown
The gown as pictured above will be made in 5 sizes (generally XXS-L) shaped for a female avatar. There will be mesh detail wherever possible. This includes detailed skirt folds and mesh lacing on the bodice and sleeves, etc. There will be a colour variation of at least 6 different shades, including the style you see pictured.
