How to Make a Shirt on IMVU Using GIMP
The virtual world IMVU focuses on creating and customizing an avatar by giving him new clothing, hairstyles and accessories. If you find yourself unsatisfied with the selection of shirts on IMVU or you wish to create a new shirt to sell in the IMVU store, use the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) to modify an existing template. If you are new to creating IMVU clothing, create a simple shirt such as a tank top or tube top that consists of only one color.
