New to mesh fashion!

[AdamZadig]

So I'm very new to Mesh fashion. Do you have to make clothes specific to certain mesh bodies and if so, which bodies are the most popular and what happens when new bodies are released? Are the fashion items no longer able to fit on the new bodies?

Yes Adam if mesh clothing is made to be worn by any specific mesh body then it is best to rig it to fit the specific mesh body you wish to make for.  As for the most popular I am not sure if you are thinking women or men, but one way to see is to look in Market Place and see what most of the clothes there are made for.  As for when new bodies are released:  that totally depends on how much change there is in the body,  but any change will probably require that clothing that is rigged to the old body, be updated to fit the new one in order for older clothing to work well, but sometimes with the use of the alpha sections on the body hud, you can get away with still using the older version of clothing.  Fitmesh,  can also work for mesh bodies even if it is not rigged for a specific body, however, those clothing items sometimes require changes in some body parts itself which changes the body shape and some folks really don't want to do that,  but if you have an average size avatar, with no exaggerated parts, fitmesh will work often having to use the alpha sections on the hud to cover any area where the mesh breaks and the body pokes through.
