I have thanks to this forum been able to make some decent clothes but when I upload them and try them on children - they look exactly like daughter trying on mums clothes LOL how do we overcome the sizing problem - and let me now apologise is this answer is somewhere in the forum already - I spend far to much time glued to my monitor and keyboard as it is.

I haven't really experimented with this, but I believe that the outside edges are trimmed away as the avatar shrinks, so if you use one of the templates and count in some number of lines and draw in there you might be okay. It might not be that simple though, in which case you may need to put together a texture that is just a grid or gradient to try to identify the mapping.

Can you get Chip Midnight's templates in-game and wear those? I wouldn't know who has them uploaded but you'd think a lot of people would. That would give you a very identifiable mapping of where your 'children's clothes' need their seams. (Or you could just upload them yourself, I suppose.)

set your clothes to be 'tighter' on the slider bar

i noticed the exact oppisite

i was expecting my 'tiny' shape to make clothing look wrong but the clothing shrinks just fine and no matter what 'shape' you are the clothes seem to fit great

I was experimenting with this last night - tight clothes look the same, but if you make loose or baggy shirts or pants, they look a LOT more baggy on a small avatar.

Anything that isn't "wet-t-shirt-skin-tight" will have problems when applied to any shape it wasn't designed for. This applies as much to changes in adult female bust size as it does to changes in overall body shape. You'll have to readjust the looseness of the clothes to be much tighter to get them to fit on a child-sized avatar.
