Skirt template woes

I'm a newbie and have been making clothes in Photoshop with the templates provided on this site, but yesterday my skirt template just wouldn't work. The skirt shows up on the side of the avatar, not the front and back. I redownloaded the template, but got the same results. Anyone else having this problem? If so, any answers?

Januss, can you post a screenshot of what it looks like? There's several different things that can cause this kind of problem and that'll help people pinpoint what's going wrong for you.

this might be too basic but have you made sure in the appearance editor for the skirt that the sliders aren't out of whack and you're seeing big splits where you don't expect them?

Januss,

Maybe it's too basic also, but are you saving the texture at the correct size ?

Thanks for the replies. I set the size as .TGA file 32 before I leave Photoshop. I've never actually put a screwy skirt on my avatar. I've only looked at the preview before I decide whether or not to upload the garment. I'll try actually donning the skirt and playing around with the settings in the appearance editor. And if it doesn't work I'll post a picture of my avatar. Thanks again.

:o The skirt, while I couldn't see it correctly in the upload preview, is perfect on my avatar. Must be a glitch in my system :o

Make sure you are previewing it under the SKIRT option and not the LOWER BODY.
