If it's silks your after , stop by the Fashionetics store in the sim of Ambulyx , there's a machine there that will build you a prim silk . The voice narrated tutorial will guide you through the process and as the machine builds the silk, you will get a real good idea on how it's done . After the silk is built all you have to do is link , texture and attach the silk to various parts of your avi .

the only Machine i could find Jerry was one you had too buy at 1,450L. there is a model on the floor of the silks maker but i don't think it works.

I think with silks the biggest thing to know is how to manipulate a cylinder to make it long and flexible. You also need to hollow, cut and taper it and link several of those together. That creates the flowing silk that you see. There are probably many ways to do it though. The rest of the silk is just a texture and would be similar to creating a bikini. A lot of it requires basic knowledge in making clothes in SL and building things out of prims. Try going to NCI and check what kind of classes they have or possibly talk to one of the staff there.
