* Description *

Recently, you received a job offer by a certain Lady Graitelvend, a woman who wishes to be the most well-dressed lady in the entire city. This is why she needs you to steal some other ladies' clothes: Lady Wenford has three fine dresses in her possession that Lady Graitelvend wishes to acquire, and Lady Brambleton has a pair of very exquisite shoes.
You are to steal those items of clothing and give them to Lady Graitelvend. It's a simple enough job, and the payment she offers is quite high: a whopping 4000 in gold for a pair of shoes and a couple of dresses!
Lady Graitelvend is willing to spend a lot of money on being the most well-dressed woman in town, but all the better for you.

______________________________________________

This is my very first Thief FM, and apart from some toying around with basic brushwork, I never really worked with Dromed before. Because of that, the mission looks very, very messy in Dromed, but I learned much by making it.
It's a little ambitious for a first project, but I think I managed well enough.

Build time was roughly 1 month.

I hope you enjoy the mission and have fun playing through it!
There is also one easter-egg area, try to find it, it's funny :)

Special Thanks to:

for new objects/mesh: Christine, Team COSAS, R Soul, Elvis, LarryG, Schwaa, DarkShadow, zontik, skacky (took the re-texturable painting from the brothel part of the Chalice mission, don't know who made it originally so I credit skacky),

for new textures: Zappenduster, Nameless Voice, R Soul

I hope I mentioned everyone whose cutsom objects I used, I just downloaded a ton of them from the Thief Object Repository and DarkFate.ru so I might have missed one or two people whose objects I use.
If anyone notices an object by someone I forgot to mention, I will add it to the readme!

I also modified two objects myself for this mission:
I modified a female noble texture of Team COSAS' nobles pack to make her barefoot
I modified zontik's ballet slippers to make them look more colorful and fancy
I modified one of the Dromed Deluxe mages to make his clothes purple, for the purple wizard
Models are as they were made by their creators, I only changed textures.

And of course, thanks to everyone who made the many Dromed tutorials, and everyone who answered my questions in the TTLG editors' guild. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to make this mission!

And thanks to my betatesters who helped me weed out the few bugs this mission had and gave me some tips on improving it:
Melan, skacky, DrKubiac, Dev_Anj, Karwelas, Yandros
