Its more than two sliders. Quite frankly I don't believe this is an 
acceptable solution to ship in our main client for this particular issue 
- a user would expect "wear as undershirt" to "just work". I'll note 
further that such a system would only be effective for wearables you 
have copy + mod permissions for. No worries for your own creation, but 
few sold clothing pieces are so liberal to my understanding.

However, if you'd like to code up a conversion routine for snowglobe or 
a third party viewer, please do so! Let me know if you need any 
information about our wearables system to do so.
