School Uniforms for Tween Ryan and Julie

I would like to request matching school uniforms for the Tween characters so that the boys and girls look like they go to the same school. If they also had morphs for Teen Josie, Chase, Skyler, Rayn, and Haley that would be even better.

There are school uniforms for Genesis 1 characters that will fit with auto-fit.
Unfortunately that is not as effective an option as you might think. I am looking for school uniforms that are similar enough that the boys and girls look like they are from the same school. I also want American or European style uniforms with jacket, tie, and a skirt for the girls. The school uniforms for Genesis 1 here at DAZ include anime/Japanese uniforms, 3 for girls which are not even remotely similar to the one set for boys. Preppy is a good set, but it has sweater vests, no ties, and no skirt since it was made for males. There are male and female uniforms at Renderosity made by the same person, but their textures and styles are not even close. By combining Preppy, the Renderosity uniforms, and a few other items I can produce something that is fairly close to what I want and works fine for Genesis 1. Then we get into the fact that out of the box, auto fit will not conveert Genesis 1 items to Genesis 3. There are ways around this involving purchasing $66 in utilities and lots of extra work, but even then the morphs I used to fit the items from different sets won't be transfered over.
Auto fitting Genesis 2 clothes to Genesis 3 would be quicker and easier. DogZ even has a pair of uniforms which are exactly what I would like. However, when they are autofitted I will lose all the style morphs.
What it comes down to is that I would end up spending a lot of money and work to get something which does not work well and is not what I want, or someone can make a set that works properly with Genesis 3 and sell it to me and anyone else who wants school uniforms for Genesis 3.
Still needing AutoFit but I think they tick your other boxes:

Those are the two uniforms by Dogz which I mentioned. They are very nice, however I have two concerns. First, skirts and dresses very seldom transfer well. Sickleyield has some utilities which can help with that, but my budget is already strained. Second, they have morphs for loosening the collar and tie, untucking the shirt, and opening the jacket. I would lose all of these when they are autofitted. I can't afford $57+ for items that will sort of work. That's why I am requesting that a PA consider making school uniforms for G3F and G3M tweens.
Morphs still work after Auto-Fit don't they?
Yes, the very first version of AutoFit removed morphs but that was verys oon changed. Of course if the properties are not morphs but controllers for custom bones, as is the case for some skirts or for long hair, then they will cease to function as the target bones have gone.
I hadn't realized that. I may give it a try, if all else fails I can return it if they don't work out. Thanks for the information.
I have usually found that autofit does pretty nasty things to the mesh of clothing especially when autofitting to significantly different shaped characters, this results in texture distortion whaich can completely ruin an image. Many of the school uniform items are made for characters with medium to quite large breasts (especially, but not exclusively, the Japanese and Anime style uniforms). Since Tween Julie has smaller breasts than an adult, I expect the mesh mashing problem of the autofit algorithm to be present when applied to these more adult/teen school uniforms. So it would indeed be nice to have clothing designed to fit younger teen and tween figures and so avoid the necessity of the mesh mashing autofit process.
Just for clarity:
tween
(twēn)
n.
A child between middle childhood and adolescence, usually between 8 and 12 years old. Also called tweener.

Most 8 to 12 year old girls don't have any significant breast development, so a school uniform designed for Tween Julie should reflect that.
I bought the Time for School uniforms for G2F and G2M, then tried them on varioous figures. I had trouble with the female shirt on Genesis having a ridge between the breasts. There were other issues as well. The uniform did surprisingly well on G3F. Using the growing up morphs on G3F, the female uniform did well on all ages from 5-6 through adult, although it did poorly on an adult with larger breasts. The male uniform did fine on G3M with the growing up morphs. Overall, I am happy with how the uniforms work with G3F and G3M using the growing up morphs. I don't have the tweens yet, so I don't know how well the uniforms will work with them.
Genesis 3 female version is released.

Male version avaliable very soon :)
Thanks Dogz.
It was released 31 days after I bought the Genesis 2 version, lol.
They are both going on my wishlist, but your genesis 2 versions work surprisingly well with genesis 3.
Will there be a bundle or other incentive to buy both?
Probably not, there wasn't for the Genesis 2 versions. Based on the Genesis 2 versions, they should be very good uniforms with lots of options and male and female versions should have matching textures. That may not sound like much, but I have other school uniforms which don't match even though they are made by the same artist.
Male version will have identical matching textures to the female version,
No bundle exactly, but i should be able to arrange a discount for people who buy both. e.g where it effects the second one you purchase.
