i can move clothes backwards and forwards and up and down, but i don't know how to "stretch" fabric to cover my behind and similarly, i have necklaces that i need to stretch so they go all the way around my neck

are those things even possible to do?

If necklaces are modifiable you can edit individual parts of it but if you don't know
what you're doing or it scripted or modifiable you may have major issues but you can
put it on stand on pose stand and edit the postion.
You can make clothes backwards I have done that accidentally with my art program with
UV layers then upload the texture and make new outfit using that texture.
You can also make a texture or use a texture from your inventory library in appearance
and shorten or lengthen like shirt, jacket, pants or underwear.

Yes, if the pieces are mod. In the Edit window, change the radio button to Stretch, then left-click on one of the small cubes that appear. The gray ones will stretch the entire item in all directions, the colored ones will stretch just along one axis. Oh, and make sure the 'Stretch Both Sides' box is checked unless you have some compelling reason to only stretch in one direction...I think I only ever do that with hair, myself.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

Right-click on the item.

Choose Edit.

Click at the top (top left, of the Edit box) where it says stretch, or use the keys it tells you, there, to use.

While holding down those keys or if that box in Edit is marked, little white boxes should appear around the item. They might be hard to spot, or a bit far away from it (but not in the next room or anything). Click one of those white boxes, hold down the mouse button, and drag.

Close the edit box and check your work. Repeat if or as necessary.

I typed out the whole process in case anyone else reading this, also wondered how.
