It's an ao dai, the traditional women's clothing of Vietnam. This was just a test run to make sure I was on the right track. The polygon count is still kind of low, hence a little case of the crunchies, but that'll be upped before I finish.
I'm particularly chuffed because tailoring to that toonish figure is hard, especially on something as well-fitting as an ao dai tunic. Marvelous Designer's high forgiveness factor is helping me here.
I think I'm happy with the fit, so unless I notice something between then and now, I plan to do some finishing up of details tomorrow and hopefully get the models exported and ready to Poserize. Right now I'm trying to decide which seamlines I want to bake into the model. By default they're flat and thus invisible (which is nice because it hides my cheats), but they can be indented slightly for more realism. I'm thinking the raglan seams almost definitely, since most ao dai use them and they help define the style line. Probably the side seams as well. I'm not sure about the darts, though. The dart varies from one designer to another. Some use waist darts, some use side darts, I've seen a few that look like a princess seam bodice with the flaps sewn on separately. Maybe I'll export it both ways and see which I like better.
