Zaza’s Designs

This is the first clothing I created in SL. It’s created from a shirt, pants and prim skirt.

Tip #1: It’s important to make “glitch” pants for any outfit you make that has a prim skirt, as if SL is being laggy the skirt can take a while to load, and you don’t want to appear half naked in front of everyone. (That sounds like a bad dream….)

The outfit is based upon the tutorials Creating Clothes with GIMP, Flexi Skirts Part 1 and Flexi Skirts Part 2 by Natalia Zelmanov.

There are three main ways of creating clothes for your SL avatar:

1. By just using the Edit > Appearance menu within SL.
2. By creating clothing with your preferred image/drawing programme and then uploading the images for L$10 each in to SL, and then using the Edit > Appearance menu within SL to complete making the item of clothing.
3. By using prims to create clothing within SL.

There is also sculpted prims, but as I’ve not learnt anything about them and how to make clothing with them, that topic will need to be left to a later time. The use of sculpted prims for clothing isn’t currently widespread.

Hello and welcome to my blog.

My name is Zaza Vale and I exist in the world of Second Life (hence forth to be referred to as SL). I’ve just got into making clothing within SL, so this blog will be mainly about how I’ve created outfits and any tips and lessons I’ve learnt whilst making them, along with the odd life event that happens in SL to me.

I hope that this blog will be a helpful resource to others that wish to start creating clothing in SL, and can learn from my mishaps.
