Is it practical to put a (not overtly feminine) female outfit on a male avatar or vice versa? Would the seams be out of whack? I'm thinking in terms of a jump suit uniform-like outfit.

I am not currently Ruthed.

My experience has been this:
the shading and highlights some designers create on their clothing make it more appropriate for one gender or another (breasts, hips, and buttocks among others)

Seams usually seem to line up alright - there may be some stretching or compressing of a texture when on one gender or the other...


...and for some weird reason, I cannot stop laughing at the comment:

That is damn near signature quality material to me...

Sounds like its worth the L250 to find out. I'll just try to make sure no one is looking when I buy it. Hehe. Thanks. ;-)

I have two men's Invader Zim shirts, freebies from Sarah Nerd's place as far as I remember, and I love Invader Zim so I tried them on to see if they would look really weird on a woman. They're only t-shirts - long and short sleeves - but they look fine, you wouldn't know they were for blokes.

Check the Library folder of your Inventory, you should find plenty of free women's clothes there.

A side note... a lot of pants marketed as unisex are actually men's pants. As a woman, I _really_ don't want "package shading"! ;)
