I can't wear more than one alpha file?

[Foggypebble Muircastle]

Most mesh clothes (nowadays, that’s the only type of clothes I can find in stores— even skinny jeans and bras are mesh) come with an alpha file that gets rid of the clipping. The problem is, I have to choose (between my hair, my top, my pants, and my shoes) which thing will be without holes because I can only wear one alpha file. It’s really not fun when I find the perfect shoes for an outfit and when I put them on my avatar’s shoulders become exposed. Is there a way to wear more than one alpha?

Have you tried adding the alpha instead of wearing?  Mesh body or not?

Choosing ADD instead of WEAR worked once and I was able to wear my top and shoes without clipping but after those two alpha files I added more and couldn't see them working.  Thank you but now it seems like I can only wear two.

No mesh body. I use a classic avatar.

Edit: It took some time but they  all worked. Thank you! You've helped me immensely actually. (I hit post limit so I can't respond but thank you)

Edit: I use the latest official SL Viewer.

Are you on an older viewer?  You should, in theory, be able to wear 5 alphas if I remember correctly.
