Who can help me and/or explain this to me?

Hello, maybe this is a very noobie-question, but I tried to upload a dress that I made and this appears: 

 

 

but if I check mark the "skin weights", then this appears:

Why are these holes appearing? And what can I do?

Thank you all in advance. :)

There is a bug (probably in the SL Importer previewer) which causes these holes to appear when collision volume bones (fitted mesh bones) are weighted. So, if your mesh contains Fitted Mesh bones, then try to import the mesh and see if the holes are gone when you wear the mesh.

If the mesh does not contain collision volume bones, or the holes keep visible after upload and wearing, then probably your mesh contains too many texture faces (materials) Note that SL accepts no more than 8 materials per object.

Another problem could be that your mesh contains too many polygons (per material). but by looking at the image i would say, this is not the problem in your case.

Thank you very much for the quick reply. I understand it a bit better now.
