Hi all,
Reallusion has set up a new function in the Marketplace which will provide you with a better user experience for finding character outfits and bases.
Finding Related Outfits
With this new feature, every time you purchase a cloth base item, any derivative content that particular base may have will appear at the bottom of the same page. Let’s take E005 Gwynn_Upper_Bodysuit for example:
http://city.reallusion.com/ContentPreview.aspx?i=IC511E005ENU0110C002
When you’re on this page, you’ll now find a section at the bottom of the page which presents you with random outfit products that are derived from this base, otherwise known as ‘derivative content’. If you click on the arrow button in the upper-right, it will lead you to a new page where you can see all of the related content. This makes it easier for you to discover the variety of designs available for your particular base.
Finding Cloth Bases
On the other hand, when you’re purchasing outfits, you may need to look for the required base to successfully apply them to your character in iClone. To make this easier, Reallusion has also asked developers to tag their base content. This way, when you want to purchase a clothing pack, you’ll be provided with a direct link to the required base content, which you’ll need to purchase first.
Here’s an example with Shygirl’s Summertime outfit: http://city.reallusion.com/ContentPreview.aspx?i=JIC9bbb9036c7bd16623&g=
If you want to purchase this content, you will also need to purchase E005 Gwynn_Lower_Slim Pants, E005 Gwynn_Shoes_Wedges, and E005 Gwynn_Upper_Bodysuit in order to apply the custom clothing content properly. These three bases are listed in the Required Base section of the product page, and clicking on them will take you directly to that product page for purchase.

Thanks for that, Bruce.
However, it makes more sense to me, to have the 2nd option quoted first, since that's what we're intially looking for, not Cloth Bases.
