Hi if you search imvu studio or katbits on YouTube you'll find many tutorials on how to start

You can make custom clothes using IMVU Studio. Just pick a base item to “derive” from, edit the textures in Photoshop or GIMP, and upload your design in Studio. It’s easier than it looks once you try! Check out IMVU’s Creator Education Center for tutorials.

For custom clothes in IMVU, most creators start with Blender for 3D modeling and Photoshop or GIMP for texturing. IMVU also has a Creator Program with tutorials that walk you through the basics. If you’re new, check out some beginner guides on YouTube to get familiar with the workflow.
