Issues
There are a lot of unfortunate clipping on the asymmetrical dress that is also present with the vanilla dresses of the game. But also on top of that, there are legs under the dress that makes the clipping extra apparent. I don't have the ability to make it look better than it does now. If I can fix it, I'll update the mod.
If you find anything else that's behaving weird, please leave a comment!
Modders info (materials used)
Party: CorpseTarp01_MAT

The spec map can look kinda scary, but it's very easy to work with.
Red Channel: Essentially you'd just want a normal specular map
Green Channel: An inverted version of red channel
Blue Channel: Decide how much "shine" you want (optional, you can leave it white).
Cocktail: Bronzework_Inst01_Bronzework_Inst_01
Make sure you get the right one. There's one just called "Bronzework_Inst01" and if you're a newbie like me at Package Editor and not sure how to work with the materials it's gonna be hard since it's missing diff, spec and norm maps.
The default fresnel of the material is very high, but put at 0. 2 it looks a lot better. Otherwise the material is good as it is.
Make sure your diffuse and specular map is on the darker side as the material easily can be too saturated and look self illuminated.
This material is super finicky and often looks very weird because of the point ligh
