Ever since this update my clothes are not working properly .

I have shoe's that cover the lower half of my body when i put them on .

I have tshirts that cover my arms and my fingers .

I have cardigans that cover my whole body .

it seems that all the lengths are messed up. I have uninstalled 3 times, i have tried on other machines . I have cleared my Cache , i have re-baked the textures . Nobody can seem to help me .

Anybody any tips ?

Been having same problem, haven't tried this yet but:

Occasionally the textures on your avatar can suddenly become corrupt, either through crashing or a bad texture. This can manifest itself in a variety of ways such as parts of you being black, or reflecting areas of the user interface or otherwise striped/distorted. There are a few things you can try to correct this...

Clear your Cache. Go into your Preferences (ctrl-P), and find the Clear Cache button on the Network tab. Click it, then log out of Second Life, then back in.
Uninstall Second Life, reboot your machine and re-install it again. The only thing you will lose by doing this are the settings in your preferences as all of your content, avatar etc are stored by us.
If neither of these work, try the following in this order..

Remove All Attachments from your avatar.
Remove All skins/tattoos from your avatar. If for some reason you can't remove one, make a new blank one (for example a transparent texture) and try to apply that to the Skin area of Appearance Mode to replace any you have there.
Remove All Clothing. You may wish to be somewhere private on a Mature region for this.
Go into appearance mode, and add 1 point to your Height slider.
Click Save All at the bottom and leave Appearance mode.
Click the Clear Cache button on the Network page of your Preferences.
Log out of Second Life and back in again.
If after all of this your avatar is still not right, please visit our support page.

If you're using an nVidia card, this is a known issue. There is more information and suggested workarounds here:

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

I have the same issue, changing clothes resulting in half of my body being black. Neither cleaning cache, changing apparance, rebaking or even running a different viewer version helps. The only thing that works to get me looking normal again is to log on from a different machine. Afterwards I can log on the original comp and all looks fine again. Pretty weird but it works.

P.S. Using NVidia 8600GT, might be a driver issue as in the jira ticket mentioned.

Solution

This is the answer, until Linden Labs fix it themselves

Inworld menu, Advanced (Ctrl+alt+D if it is not on the menu)
Then-Rendering-Features
Uncheck Palletized Textures
(quick way to do all of above is: Ctrl+Alt+F7)

Rebake Textures
(Ctrl+Alt+R)

Need to do this each time you log in.

No need to relog, reinstall, clear cache or change gfx card or driver

It worked for me, after about 3 attempts. After that just once at each relog was needed

Good luck

If you don't want to do the above at every login, you can also roll your drivers back to the 175 (or earlier) series.

As I understand it, nVidia stopped supporting palletized textures after 175, so this isn't actually an SL bug. LL has said that they'll stop using palletized texture rendering in a future release, but it's likely to be 1.22 or 1.23 just due to time constraints.

Or..

Ctrl+Alt+F7
then Ctrl+Alt+R

every time you log in, that's quick and easy and personally perferred to rolling back my otherwise excellent graphic drivers!

ok, I've taken a look on the website of my motherboard manufacturer (abit, using an onboard NVIDIA graphics chipset) and I'd found out that they're proposing an older driver for that chipset. I'd installed that driver and everything is back to normal, had to do the workaround, sugested in the jira, the first time I'd logged in but everything was still ok on every login I've did after that first one. No more workarounds for me, so glad I've found a sollution for this pb. Thanks for the help everyone.

The latest working Nvidia driver is 175.19. Everything newer causes all kind of problems.
