Thank you for the illustration Sassy. So that can be the, be all fix all. Should be able to get rid of alphas then if you have inworld mapping of mesh to fit over your shape. But this even upsets me more because this should have been done before or at the same time Mesh clothing was launched. So many people have spent millions in SL for slipshot crap that they have to live with.

I am not saying mesh is a bad thing, I have seen some amazing detailed work. But as far as clothing, it has no place at this point. And we talk about viewers and I myself use Singularity only because I need an RLV viewer, and Firestorm sucks. But when you see a great mesh dress on someone kneeling or sitting with an absolute invisable crotch, versus a prim dress into the ground I will take a prim dress any day. This deformer we all talk about as well is pointless. Unless you have blender or some other program you cannot change finite points of the sculptie or mesh object... Period... Someone wants to be pregnant and grow over months, can a mesh outfit with a deformer do that? No way. Can a mans shirt change the arm size from muscular to skinny. Not without taking the mesh product into blender or such and sizing it accordingly. So to me mesh clothing is a joke. Then the inevitable alphas. Singularity only allows 1 so I have to make my own for miltiple alphas, even Firestorm you overlap 3 alphas and you ruth badly. So tell me how is Mesh clothing a good thing.

Very well put Medhue, and that is just the case with the harness I had purchased.. Yes I tried on the different sizes bought the one that was close, and truthfully thought I could tweek it to fit properly from there. I sent a NC to the owner/creator and she talked to me like I was an idiot, never listened to my concern at all, will never buy another article of clothing from her again. Complaints are needed for any business owner to listen and try to rectify in any means possible. It is also a learning tool for your product. And this thread isnt only for the SL designers it is for the SL big wigs as well. Until the problem is rectified I think that a full disclosure at the top of all mesh clothing signs should be implamented that it is no Modify, and the shape it has once you try the demo is what you get. Or pull it completely and reintroduce once its right.

Mesh is still fairly new to SL and have seen some great things built using it. And built some amazing things as a fellow creator. Even shoes can be amazing if they can be sized. I have spent countless hours building custom shapes for people. They want to be individuals, each with their own personal preferences. Mesh clothing has absolutely no place in SL. It definately takes away from our individualism as the clothing cannot be shaped or modified. I get countless questions from mesh clothing buyers, "How can I make it fit right" and the only response is, If you want to wear mesh you have to change your shape to become the avatar that the clothing creator built thier clothing to, and people are heartbroken. My best friend bought a dress this morning, and her calf muscles overshot the dress itself, after sizing down her calfs, she had toothpick legs, it was horrid. I had purchased a harness, it was completely off, and was told to send my countless hour custom shape, perfect for what I wanted to look like to the creator to have a new harness sized for an additional 800L. This is beyond rediculous, and not only for the money but then she has my exact measurements to use as she pleases.
