This wasn't something I really noticed before, until I started living on an alt who wears much less.... clothing than Io, heh. Io is heavier but she doesn't run around in silks, either.

The trick to using the mesh, in almost all cases, is to attack the problem on multiple fronts.

The body fat slider in itself is indeed too course and distorts the mesh quickly.

Now, a little body fat, while shortening the torso and legs a little, giving the love handles a little push, and *shortening* the hips (to make the belly slider fill out the lower part a little more naturally)...


eventually, you get there.
