Gentlemen..........These boots are made for WALKING!!! I think its an official success :) Somehow the thighband came thru with the export, not sure how but ill go thru the UVM steps again. If its not fixable, I could care less, its now only ONE item to make invisible. Ive now got, in addition to my VSFS 1 and VSFS 2 .cr2's, a VCFS-Boots.cr2, and im about to make a VCFS-Bodice.cr2, and a VCFS-Skirt.cr2, and once ive got seperate items, ill do some magnet work on the skirt and bodice and expand my Handspan Studio Elf's wardrobe :) Thank you so much, your instructions couldnt have been easier to follow!
