For clothing layers and body parts?

There are some excellent ones free to download if you just Google for them.

Chip Midnight made some good ones, but I have seen ever better ones recently.

It's takes some practice designing templates for clothes etc in SL, so don't necessarily expect to be able to create brilliantdesigner items straight away. Practice lots though and you'll get good at it

There are some excellent guides to get you started here:

I use the Chip Midnight templates, but I'm having trouble finding those online. Getting a good look at the templates helps to give a good idea on how to put together shirts, pants, skins, etcetera.

 

 It can also be used to put together alpha masks to hide sections of the avatar.
