dForce 1860s Historical Ballgown

My submission for the 2025 Renderhub fashion competition! A ballgown inspired by historical patterning, techniques, and dyes. It has a functioning invisible petticoat, lots of lace, bows, and ruffles, and a modular material that allows you to change the colors easily without affecting the details. Select any of the included colors that don't have a pattern, and go to the surfaces tab to customize the dress.

I'm in love with how it came out, and I hope all your historical baddies wear it to their galas/balls/debuts.
