Ok, this isn't for me. But the person wanting to know is shy about posting, so I volunteered.

How does one go about making a hybrid clothing item?  One that has a part of it as conforming such as the bodice, and another part that is dynamic, such as the skirt.

Do you make the conforming item and dynamic item separately and then somehow merge them together? If so, how do you go about merging the 2 types together so that they are "welded" together so-to-speak.

Or do you make it as one item and then somehow convert one to either conforming or dynamic? If so, are there any tutorials on how to go about doing that?

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
