Description
===========

This mod adds two of the most beautiful formal dresses ever made for Oblivion to Fallout 3: Flonne and Gizmodian's Fantabulous Dress and Terry Malick's Ball Gown. There are also shorter versions of both gowns for less formal occasions. It also adds opera gloves and short gloves that match the main colours of the dresses.

You can find the dresses in a wardrobe in the Lucky38 suite (see screnshot for the location). The gloves are in a cabinet next to the wardrobe.

The alternative location is in the Tops Restaurant.

The default version of the dresses has some clipping in certain poses. If you don't like that, you can use the "No legs patch" that replaces the default meshes with ones that have no legs under the skirt, and then show no clipping.

The dresses are made for Dimon's Type 3 body, it will also work with Blackblossom's body replacer. Both are listed in the required files tab. You need only one if it!
