I hate to sound like even more of a DAZ Studio noob, but how does one do that? Is there a tutorial somewhere?

 

Its really simple when you try to fit an item to a Genesis character that wasn't created for that specific character a dialogue appears asking what figure it was made for. Select the original figure then it will ask what type of item it is. For example hair (short), hair (Long), shirt, pants...

Then click okay and Daz Studio will take care of the rest of the process.
