has anyone used this in D|S? The vendor states it has not been tested so I don't know if the morphs will work or if you can just conform it but have to dform the ends to use it in a render without lots of post work.

Only real problem DS users have with morphs depends on how paranoid the vender is about crosstalk, half the time the body dials don't work.
Going by the blurb on the product page, the biggest problem with using this outfit in DS is going to be the MATs, they are more or less procedural shaders, so unless your a dab hand with ShaderMixer they are going to look crap in DS.

I picked it up, for $6.00 I figured I could live if I need to Dform, however the morphs worked perfectly. The textures (as the vendor already pointed out) are for poser 6 and above so anything other than a solid color does not work correctly in Daz Studio.

Hi Klown :)
Just a idea for you, dig around the net for free textures that are close or match what you need and then you could apply and save them yourself.
I've stuck with Studio 2.3, mainly because I can't afford the full version of 3.x anytime soon, so I'm used to having to apply/add my own textures. It doesn't take that much longer and for me it's gives me a sense of actually doing more than point and click LOL
So between fiddling with the color channels and applying your own textures you can come up with some great looks. Also don't forget the Opacity channel as well as bump and displacement ones.
I hope this helps ya a bit. Feel free to shoot me a note if you have any questions about my ramblings LOL

DS3 free does everything DS2 does, so you shouldn't need to upgrade to Advanced to switch if you don't want to.
