I am stumped by the enthusiasm I'm seeing everywhere. Yes I'm sick as a dog but I still do my best to follow everything hehe. Thank you for buying and playing with her guys!

The basic theory behind the fitting rooms with PE is to:

1. get whatever garment you want to first 'appear to fit' PE's shape (so not by conforming or parenting, just by having it in the scene over a zero'ed PE, or rather a zero'ed mannequin).
2. then slap some PE bones on it (through fitting room's create 'figure button')

That's basically it. There are many ways to achieve step 1:

1. If it was made for PE the garment will already 'fit' the shape.
2. If its a V4 garment: load V4. Zero her (like proper zero zero). Inject PE's shape provided. Load a V4 garment. Transfer PE's shape to that garment (check all conforming attributes)
3. If its a V4 garment you can also try and scale and rotate the garment to 'fit' PE. Shoes work best like this. There is a pose available that provides a rough fit without injection.
4. You can zBrush (GoZ) it to fit.
5. You can use the morph brush in Poser to make it fit.
6. One could use the fitting room tools... (I never do, they confuse me. So rather don't go there gish)

Point is, it really doesn't matter how you get the garment to fit, as long as it somehow sits OVER PE's mesh before you start rigging it in the fitting room. So gish you need to pull those arms back somehow. If they didn't get pulled along with the PE morph, then that's strange and I'll have to investigate why that is.

A few pointers for the process:

• never at any point conform the mannequins to anything (not V4 or PE). They're just there to pass along information.
• Don't conform a V4 item directly to PE = hell on earth. Just bring it to shape (like mentioned above), then make a converted version using that shape, and THAT converted version, will fit PE.
• You can keep your injected V4 + conformed garment in the scene along with the mannequins and PE while converting. No need to hide them or anything. The mannequins can hang around at the back of the scene, they get zero'ed in the fitting room anyway. V4 and her garment needs to stay in the middle though.

Also, indeed if the fitting room is too much for you, don't worry. It is indeed not the easiest of processes but 1. vendors are watching and I know there are garments in the works (give them time like you did with me, hehe), and 2. I bloody well hope SM are watching too so that they now have an incentive to improve and weaponize the fitting room.

I think that is where I may have had the "blow up" issue...I was conforming the mannequin to PE.

The instructions for the mannequin may need to be fixed then because on step 2 it tells us to bring in PE and drag the mannequin on top of her (to conform).

I no longer am having this problem..also..I was loading in PE instead of V4.

I may have interpreted it wrong too because no one else seems to have had this problem! At any rate..sooo glad we got it figured out! She is a fantastic figure for us to get to know! Bravo Ero! !
