Question on Texture stretching on skirt...

I made my first skirt today and put a leopard texture on it...with some of my stand poses, the front area seems to distort the texture on the skirt. Is there a way to fix this?

Nope. That's the way skirts behave. When you stretch your legs apart or squat, a standard SL skirt gets terribly distorted. If you wear prim skirts, you avoid that problem but then you have to put up with panels that fly open when you walk. And, of course, sitting is ridiculous. These "features" of skirts explain largely why women in SL prefer either pants or very short skirts.

This is the rule of thumb I figured out to improve the look, but it is not a fix: Take a tall rectangle of your fabric or pattern, squeeze the horizontal dimension to half and put two of these squeezed rectangles in the front part of the skirt. Blend or match edges of the rectangles as needed.

Unfortunately, SL skirts get all their extra diameter at the hemline by streaching a narrow rectangle in the front and in the back from being a rectangle to being a triangle. Virtually nothing changes on the streach of the rest of the skirt.

You may want to try making a flexi skirt with the leopard print, and a system skirt under that as a glitch layer, so it doesn't seem to fly apart as much when you walk.

I had a similar problem with this making clothing for er, another avatar-based game. What I did was just used the clone tool to 'erase' parts of the pattern in affected areas. It was a star print as I recall and I just made those parts of the skirt black. Or I copied/pasted tinier stars using the clone tool. When they stretched it looked lots better than if they were still bigger. The warping was not as noticeable.
