ok, the top is done (and mapped) I had to start from scratch and went for a lower res mesh which still looks fine in poser. Now I need to work on the pants, gotta find a version from before the degeneration. I'll try to remap them too. Here is how the top looks with the red texture. Don't worry about the pants, they are getting redone. Of course I had to put a background behind it hehehehe but the top is now conforming and the cuffs, neck, waistband are mapped separate, as is the sleeves from the bodice part.
