JoJo Aurelia Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Does anyone want to use BOM for clothing again? I've many gowns and women clothes made prior to mesh. Some look great on BOM, as I've tested and created new clothes as well as updated a few gowns. But it's unclear to me if the population is interested. The bom looks way better than on a standard body and offers natural drop shadows. The main issue is clean matching lines for various bodies, similar to mesh sizing. Clean shoulder lines on body A, skewed lines on body B. AND BOM bodies look perfect on some bodies, while other bodies have irregularities that can't be fixed by the designer. A newer body is offering a fix on their hud for butt suck and bewbies clinging with BOM. resolving one main gripe about BOM Clothing. Anyways curious if you think it's coming back in a serious way. I've searched for answers but most BOM is skin and makeups. Thanks if you have time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandi Mexicola Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Mostly what I have seen is skin and makeups and especially tattoos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Misfit Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 You really only see the occasional lingerie thing, like BOM stockings. I don't think there is a lot of interest from consumers. And the only body I know of that really looks good with full BOM clothing is Slink because they have put multiple BOM fixes in their HUD. They were the first one to do it and I was surprised that the other major bodies didn't follow suit, I guess they weren't expecting people to be that interested in BOM for clothing. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maitreya includes the BOM addon parts & addon HUD. It is for those that wish to wear BOM clothing and be able to smooth their bits. The addon also has toe caps for use with BOM stockings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a pair of leggings from League that I can now wear under long sweaters or coats. I haven't really looked at other stores but some pieces are great to wear as layers. Not sure people are willing to give up their better looking mesh but system/BOM clothing still has a niche. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriele Graves Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I have to admit that I would probably not be very interested in BoM outerwear like gowns, dresses, jackets, coats and jeans for example. I would be more interested in products like leggings, lingerie, under shirts, etc. So I'm definitely more in the BoM enhancing the mesh outfits I wear camp and not solely BoM. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My avi is wearing BOM jeans today, because I wanted them to not interfere with a long drapey top--so I'm basically wearing them as jeggings. Plus I already had them from my classic avatar days. If I were shopping for a new pair of jeans, I like ones with more dimension than BOM jeans have. OTOH, I'm loving BOM for underwear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penny Patton Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 The trouble with using BOM for clothing comes down to what materials, if any, you have applied to your mesh body. If your body uses materials, then to anyone with materials enabled your clothes will look painted on to your skin. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazzie Tuque Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I have been experimenting with BOM clothing, pulling out some old system file clothing I made years ago and stuck in an obsolete folder. I have also been making some new BOM clothing items. What I find it most useful for are clothing items that can be worn under mesh or with mesh. For example BOM pants worn under a long mesh top with mesh boots, as most of us have experienced you cannot wear long mesh boots over mesh pants it just cannot be done without the mesh pants poking through the boots, but using a good BOM pant solves that problem. The same with mesh long tops ( I have even used some mesh dresses as tops) over mesh pants mostly won't work for the same poke through issue. Also a lot of those really low cut sexy type tops that barely or don't even cover the nipples can be worn more modestly if a BOM undershirt is offered to wear underneath the mesh top or dress. I have recently put out a few combination items like this, where I include a BOM pant or undershirt. I think it works quite well, expanding the options folks have. Here is an example of mesh shirt and boots with BOM undershirt and leather pants. and another mesh top with a few undershirt options: Just a few thoughts and ideas for BOM use. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarissaOrloff Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I only use BoM for skin, makeup, tattoo's and lingerie (which its great for!) or if im going to shock people dressed as good ol' Ruth. The only system clothing designer I can even remember from the "good ol' days" is Sintimacy. I'm sure with some really strong coffee I can remember more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake1 Nightfire Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Before mesh clothing/bodies i bought a ton of B@re Rose clothing.. I am very glad i can wear some of it again as it is some of the best system stuff around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I used to shop a lot at Fri.day. Clothes and hair. She's recently put up a few older items that would work great as layering pieces. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/friday-BOM-Tank-Collection/19669432 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maitimo Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I use BOM clothing quite a lot, especially for long sleeved tops, undershirts and leggings. Sn@tch is one of my favourites and this is my favourite system top from there. Sculpty sleeves which means I can wear them at different lengths. BOM leggings also from Sn@tch. The denim jacket, skirt and boots are mesh. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethelwine Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) I have noticed some old clothing layers don't wrap around properly and you will have different heights to the tops of the texture when applied to the body. Maybe that was always the case and I am just more fussy now with a mesh body. I mostly just use Bom layers for underwear for modesty rather than messing about with alphas. I really wish some of the makers of applier underwear I used for the same purpose released system layer updates for Bom. Searching for specifically "Bom panties" brings up just 200 entries and "Bom Bra" just 140 (of which over half seem to be pasties) surprisingly little choice.

I was looking in the underwear section. Without narrowing it down you get all sorts of rubbish to sort through, bad enough half of those in underwear are pasties without using a less specific search.

Tazzie Tuque Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 one of the problems with search is that the key words some folks use to point to their merchandise, are incorrect and misleading. And that is a problem that I don't think there is an answer for. I once put in the keyword "top" and got a load of totally unrelated stuff like male parts even lmao.

Well, also, just in general, LL search is the worst search known to humankind! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
