Help. I've done shirt and skirts so far, but Jackets (like trenchcoats, or just really long shirts) confuses my little brain. Is there a tutorial out there that teaches how to make jackets? Thanks.

The jacket layer comprises of two different texture boxes. Should you utilize both, you'll need a texture for the upper body as well as a texture for the lower body.

After that, it's just a question of how well you can line up the two -- seams are most people's biggest nightmares.

Thanks for help. ^_^

One more question though, so does that mean I can either use the skirt or pant's texture for the jacket?

The jacket item of clothing is upper body template/lower body (ie pants) template. You could try the skirt template and the upper body template but you'd wouldn't be able to have a skirt as well and you'd have to have the jacket short in the slider, or use the tops slot instead.

What do you mean about the jacket being short in the slider when I use the skirt template? ^^;;

I'd make a normal jacket first - with the lower body (ie pants) template and the upper body template.

I don't even know if a jacket with a skirt would work.

My idea was that the jacket would be short so that the lower portion wouldn't be used. You would use something in the skirt position instead.
