OK, here's the one little problem (and it is a little problem) I see  
with this. We currently have designers who are doing things like  
putting shirts on underwear layers or jacket layers, or jackets on  
shirt layer + pants layer, because they're trying to give you  
workarounds for the current limited situation. For some designers who  
give you options on all layers (usually on copy-no-transfer items)  
you're good to go, but for designers who were selling no-copy-transfer  
items and only gave you one item (cos that's what you bought... fair  
enough)... let's see what happens...

Say I have a vest on a shirt layer (because it came with a jacket),  
and a shirt on a jacket layer (because it's "untucked"). In the brave  
new world I should be able to wear my shirt under my vest, now I can  
wear multiple wearables. But because the jacket layer is over the  
shirt layer, I don't get to use this combo.

Now, you could go "you're still able to do everything you can right  
now" and you'd be right, but while you're loading extra awesome into  
the client how about turning it up to 11?
