- Diana Maliszewski, Agnes Macphail Public School

Art updates: Dresses, plus a whole new look

Posted on: November 29, 2011 | By: Shahan Panth

Today we’ve made a bunch of new additions to the clothing library – including dresses!

You can find the new dresses under the Outfits tab in the Art Library (where you’ll also find lots of other ready-to-wear ensembles), and can put them on just by dragging them onto your characters. If you want to customize the colors or other parts of your outfit, just click on the outfit icon under My Outfits, where you’ll be able to save custom outfits for all of your characters -

You’ll notice that we’ve also made a change to the appearance of characters – their outlines are now a little bit thinner.  We made the change just because we think it looks much better, and hope you’ll agree!

The old look

The new look!
