That's it, except I recommend you use a coding system for each clothing item and for other outfits otherwise you can get cross talk if you use them in the same scene.

It may sound a little confusing, but its really fairly simple. I don't have that armor, but lets assume there is a skirt and a top. Name the fairie morph on the skirt Fairie_sobs (Sisters of Battle Skirt). Name the top Fairie_sobt (Sisters of Battle Top). Keep using that kind of extension for all the morphs in each piece of clothing.

Now when you tailor something else, take something from its name (abbreviation, initials, etc.) and if you want to use both outfits in the same scene their morphs won't cross talk. Be consistent with the top, skirt, bracers, boots, etc. initial you use and only change the abbreviation for each outfit to make it a little easier to get a flow going.

Morphs named in this manner will never cross talk with Vicki, with each other, or with other clothing outfits because thier morphs are always unique. You will only have cross talk problems if you use two identical morphed clothing items in the same scene. For that, you can use the null loader thing. Its a little flaky with clothes because their figure names aren't always consistent with what the null loader needs, but it usually works.

Hope that's helpful.
