clothing for female figures, if you have to spend, spend on shoes, it seems to be the one area where freebies will consistantly let you down, mainly by the lack of same, pumps are common, boots almost non existant.

DONT buy skin textures, there are plenty of good textures available, check out Mab's 'Sherra A3' on the daz freepository forum, commercial textures can wait till you have found your feet.

Grab all the kozaburo hairs from digital babes, all the free clothing from the poser penthouse costume festival, grab all the figures clothing and especially hair from studio maya.
