(@Zita1966z ) @Issabella14 If you can at least replace the hands, it's acceptable as an entry. We understand that using clothes from images makes it hard to find a pose to match (I have a lot of experience in this), but everything on the image, minus the shape and color of the outfit, needs to be your Sim, which includes the hands. If you use Andrew's poseplayer you can manipulate the camera to better angles in order to take pictures of the hands that fit what you want, or just find poses that suit the hand angles for CAS. ^-^
Another example of something to not use is a sheer dress. If it's taken from a person and their legs/other body parts are in it, it is unusable because the pieces of the person are still in it.
Or if you find a body of armor/clothes that you want, meaning it's from head to toe a one piece outfit with a pose already in it, and all you do is post a sims head onto it (or barely another part), then this is bad as well (there is a recent entry from Miss World that does it).
All clothes must be manipulated onto a full body sim, not the other way around. If you just place your head and barely anything else on it, you are doing very little work. It makes it too easy to slap a head on a great outfit and win by doing nothing (and for others there are several other reasons, like art theft).
So as long as you take apart an outfit (I mean actually take it apart) and mold it to your sims body (you can use a normal pose or create your own by pose combining), and then continue to manipulate it (such as drawing, adding on more things, etc.), then you're fine.
When I rewrite the modeling guide I will be including an indepth description of what is and isn't accepted, and how to avoid this form of cheating.
