    Some more ramblings because that’s what I do…

    So this outfit was inspired by a gorgeous 1977 Bob Mackie dress - the super shiny gold one with all those cascading fringes worn by Ann-Margret. I saw it and was like "I need this in BG3" XD. The original dress was just by itself, but the single-shoulder design felt kinda empty from the back? So I added a cape that wraps around the neck and drapes over one side. I tried to design it in a similar style. Then I changed the bottom hem of the dress to match the cape's triangular shape, which I think ties the whole "Aureate Arpeggio" vibe together quite nicely :)

    Getting the cloth physics to work was... an adventure. The fringes looked great in Blender’s cloth physics, but in-game they were just sad and stiff. After some trial and error, I ended up separating the lower part into its own cloth mesh so each strand could actually move properly.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check the in-game mod manager or your mod manager's preview to see the gown before installing – no screenshots in the description.
  • Since it's for body types 1 and 2, make sure your character uses the default body – modded bodies may cause clipping.
  • If you're using other armor mods, load order matters – place this after any body or appearance mods to avoid conflicts.
