A small tip but one that works well. The skirt template gives a fixed, high waistline, so one needs a way of showing, say, a sweater that comes down over the waistband of the skirt. The way I did this was to make a texture for the skirt with the uppermost 15-20% or of the square textured the same as the top of the intended sweater, and the lower part textured as the skirt. After uploading the textures and making the skirt and top I was surprised how well this worked, although one can see a slight join. Try this on Beta Grid a few times to test matching before paying to upload for real!

Using 'jacket' to do this with a skirt doesn't work as the lower jacket goes inside the skirt!
