Today, I have the final outfit addition ready to share with everyone and I'm very excited with how it turned out. So without delaying it any further, let's jump into that preview and discuss it!
I present, Miki's extra casual outfit! ^^
Many not as eye popping as Brandon's latest additions if you saw those. :P But pretty much, Miki will need a casual outfit for some key moments that are fitting in the story. While she did have another casual outfit, I wanted to see just how super adorable we could go with Miki in her natural habitat. (What's more natural than seeing their taste in casual clothing, right?)
The other casual outfit will play its role as well, but this will probably be the one that sticks out more for Miki.
When coming up with the outfit design, I had talked with Lisa that the only sure fire thing I wanted was giving Miki overalls or skirt overalls in general. They had to of course match her personality a bit and so they couldn't just be plain old overalls in that sense. But that is the main limit I had proposed to Lisa to work with and gave her a few reference designs to play off of or do her own thing.
Overall, I think the outfit couldn't have been done any better to fit Miki. It really feels like there's a youthful, playful natured and cutesy tone about it that just goes along with what you'd probably assume fits someone like her, least in a fictional sense.. ^^" But I think its hard to put words to the visuals, simply put.. It just works. :P
The color scheme is interesting because her socks and shoes are actually part of her other casual outfit as well. So what I assume Lisa's thoughts were to play that into this casual outfit also, which works out well. But in a very odd and possibly unintentional way, the first thing I thought of when seeing the design overall was that it could be a little fun hint or playful nudge at the Swedish flag colors.
(Minor spoiler: Miki is half Swedish)
But then on another flip side that isn't quite related to Miki, but still probably very obvious is that the color scheme could be seen as Ukraine's flag colors too. (I know the two flags have color tone differences though and design wise.)
Of course this is just a fun little extra thought, but with Miki's swimsuit it was more intentional in this line of thought. In that her swimsuit design had Swedish flag colors as her plaid design for that outfit, but this outfit kind of just came about unintentionally like that, but it's still a neat little thing. ^^
Her outfit of course had to be created with the intention that it'd work with both her diapers and underwear for reasons. The preview itself actually displays the pullup diaper with the outfit to see just how that looks. I could've done a comparison to show how her normal diaper looks vs underwear as well, but there isn't a super major difference with how much of her skirt length shows. ^^"
Hope to hear your thoughts on Miki's final surprise outfit!
