Could you please be a little more specific as to what you bought?

The base figure, for the current version is Genesis. There are many character packs for it...two of the main ones being Michael5 and Victoria5. And for those there are many clothing packs, which would also be usable on most of the other characters for Genesis...

Here's the store pages with Genesis specific clothing...

There are dozens of different clothing items available through the Daz store. Genesis comes with only basic wear if you get the starter essentials, and additional outfits are purchased separately. Characters like Michael and Victoria 5 have bundles available which come with a range of clothing and textures to get you started. The Teens bundle which launched recently has some really nice casual clothes as well.

Scroll to the top of the page. On the left you will see "shop" . Click it. DAZ's business is selling you clothes and figures, the DAZ store is full of them ;)

Actually i work on i clone..In i clone we have clothing template called clone cloth.which provides me base mesh, so that i can edit and texture it into different kinds of costumes.So is there any similar kind of clothing option in daz so that it provides me a template and i can use to make different kinds of cloths. If, could any one specify me any pack to buy ?

People can and do use transparency maps to make parts of a piece of clothing invisible, and displacement to add detail. A few people also sell "quick suits" or the like which are intended to be chopped about and extruded in a modeller to make new clothing, which can then be rigged (to a good first approximation) with the Transfer Utility. I suspect that's a little less user-friendly than the iClone tool, but since I don't have iClone I can't be sure.

Those in your picture are both Genesis - Basic Male and Basic Female. Genesis is a single figure which can be shaped into many different characters - man, woman, child, troll, gorilla etc. All of those figures can wear clothes made for Genesis. So if you buy one outfit, it will fit them all. Figures like Michael 5, Victoria 5, Hiro 5, Stephanie 5, Hitomi, the new Teens - those are all morphs for Genesis and wear Genesis clothes. Genesis can also wear clothes made for older figures of generation 3 and 4 (e. g. Michael 4, Victoria 3) via autofit - you only have to buy the respective Genesis shapes, which come with autofit feature for the said shape.

If you only want to buy clothes made for Genesis, go to DAZ store, choose Clothing & Accessoires, then choose Compatible 3D Figures: Genesis.

Hi..thanks for all your support.

Still i was a bit confused.To be more specific i am attaching an image which contains image of a base template which iclone provides for making different kinds of costumes and 2 example costumes made using that base. Could you please see that and answer me, whether Daz also provides similar kind of bases for making costumes.

It looks as if that's just the equivalent of using a transparency map to hide parts of the outfit, and applying a new texture set to the outfit. The only exception is that the two outfits have the cleavage filled in, while the template doesn't, but using the Cleavage Modifier morphs (not free) for Genesis will do that if needed (shrink-wrap breasts are a problem with the way morphs get transferred)..

The "morphing fantasy dress" (MFD for short) can be made to look like hundreds of dresses simply by re texturing the dress and applying transmaps.
