First, if you have not gotten a mesh-enabled viewer yet,
then you really should. I would be
surprised if you didn’t have one already.
Most new people who use the latest Linden Lab SL viewer are all set. I personally use the latest Firestorm Viewer.
Anyway, I wanted to share with you this really nice shirt I
got from BUID. Here is the SLURL --

Let me start out by saying “Always try
on the demo” The reason for this is that
since you cannot adjust a mesh piece when worn as you can with a prim object so
you want to be sure of the fit. One of
the things I look for is if the creator included various size options in the
package. This is important because all
avatars are not created equal in terms of size and shape. That is why creators also include a
transparent layer to “hide” that part of your shape where the piece
covers.
A huge benefit to mesh clothing is the way the material
drapes and covers the avatar shape in a more natural flow. Plus, the overall textures look amazingly
better.
Keep in mind when wearing more than one article of mesh
clothing and watch which transparent layers you are wearing. With a
little practice you should be able to achieve a great fit and be very stylish
in your mesh clothing. It only gets
better as more creators work at fine tuning and giving residents some very nice
clothing. Go out and get you some mesh!
