I prefer large flatpacks as I buy them for long-term use. A fatpack of 10 or more colors is my choice. So option 3. A fatpack of decent prints would be my second choice after I bought the solid color fatpack.

@Rick Nightingale There may be a lot of clothing being sold now with terrible rigging. If you demo'd it and it was that bad, toss the DEMO in the trash and move along. The creator lost a sale, maybe many sales. Maybe they will realize their poor rigging/skinning is the issue and work to fix it, or maybe they don't care. Either way, they lost a customer, and word of mouth can be detrimental to a brand.

I've worn Maitreya since its debut. I've always had to alpha something out I wear. I buy from well-known brands, too—pretty much exclusively. I DEMO everything, and I dance in all the DEMOs. Rarely do I find anything that does not need an alpha. I make my own alphas these days if need be if one is not included and carry on. Buying something without doing a DEMO is on the buyer. If I buy something that doesn't need an alpha...well, yay me!

Maybe she means the length of the footbed. I made a shape where I lengthened the feet, and the older sandals do not adjust. I'm taller than many female avatars here in Sl, and the tiny feet remind me of bound feet. The proportion is off. I have two sets of Zaara sandals that I do not wear anymore because of this. I hope she updates them as well, as they are beautiful.

I name all my outfits...Clubbing, Dress Every Day, Dress Smart Casual, Dress Cocktail, Evening Gowns, Lingerie, Jeans, Pants, Shorts, Skirts, Swimwear... and so on. This system works for me. I have over 200 outfits right now. I just deleted a few, but I usually have close to 300. I have no issues at all.

When I was 2 months old here in SL, I couldn't find anything in my inventory. I had so much in my objects folder I was overwhelmed. I figured if I was going to continue, I must organize this mess. I took a class one of the building groups offered at the time, and boy, did that change my SL world. I have maintained my inventory now for almost 14 years. The system I have created works for me and keeps me organized. As it stands, I have 37,000 items in my closet. I keep all my home and garden organized in boxes, and all original clothing/accessories purchases are stored similarly. Now, if I kept all that in my closet, my inventory would increase to 250,000 easily. Taking care of your inventory is a daily chore if you want to stay organized. Most residents don't want to take an hour, hour and a half total doing this. But spending that time each day or when you log in goes a long way to getting your closet/inventory organized. One just needs the desire to start and stay at it.

You can also make copies of both bodies, tint one so you can see the difference, and then wear both bodies. This way you can see what is different and correct any areas that need it. I redid my 5.3 shape and now wear it with LaraX as well. I am happy with the look, and I switch between both bodies. I have a massive closet for 5.3. No way am I trashing it. But from now on, I will only buy LaraX unless I see something I must have for 5.3. It's the best of both worlds.

I was one of those people who said I would never change my Catwa Catya. I knew it was time for a change when my favorite skin was placed on clearance. I bit the bullet and bought the Lelutka Avalon head, which had the lip and nose style I preferred. I shopped for skins, makeup, and additional skin add-ons and went to work on trying to recreate my look. I think I did a decent job. It can be done. Patience is required.

You do know that any ballgown or formal dress can be used as a bridal gown or bridesmaid gown?

Now, Now Children...Santa is watching you. Play nice. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

I am amassing a solid collection of clothing for LaraX. I am sticking with a classic, understated, but still sexy style. As some of the designers I frequent update clothing pieces, I already have to include LaraX, I will delete the Lara 5.3 size. I will not just delete my whole inventory of Lara 5.3 items. That's roughly 15,000+ different pieces. Some will never be replicated. I would be off my rocker to even consider it, but no longer will I be buying 5.3. I can see myself wearing both bodies for quite some time to come.

The Fashionably Dead offering at Collabor88 does fit LaraX rather well with minimal alpha. In fact, I just used the ones included.

And finally, the last outfit I purchased at Collabor88. Outfit 7 from Bauhaus.

Continuing with Collabor88 finds for LaraX. Outfit 4 Fashionably Dead. Yes, it fits LaraX, with options for the graphics or no graphics on the sweater. Outfit 5 Tres Blah. Outfit 6 Una without the shawl. And one more outfit to follow lol.
