All the images are "done" ... hopefully will be pasted into a .pdf tomorrow and when the glue dries, uploaded ;-)

There are a few ways to remake old clothing items. There are some very good products for sale in the store for "converting" them to fit either of the new figures.
However sometimes the old meshes could use some remodeling ;-)
So, taking a dress form of legacy V4, fitted to Genesis V4, Genesis then dialed down to basic, exporting out said dress results ...
Remaking the item ...
Remaking the clothing ...
And a very quick wrap-up showing how to work up a texture match from the new to the old.

I use Hexagon but really any decent modeling program will be fine to use.
I am using D/S4.6
Basic concepts should be the same in 4.8 however it's not going on my desktop anytime soon.

Now as ready as it'll ever be ;-)

    Thank You, I hope I will learn something from it. I wish I could learn to make clothes and things but I guess I need tutorials for that like this one. Hope to start using Hexagon soon then :)

    When I started people kept telling to look at the work others had done. So I did. Sometimes truly not impressed, other times very.
    You figure out what you like to make, how you want to model and see what happens.
    But yes, you have to open the program! And experiment, and practice ....
    If you get stuck on one project, set it aside and do another one.
    Every project is in itself also a learning lesson. As you can experience you will be able to handle more modeling situations.

    Yes, modeling clothes is quite possible in Hexagon. I've made a number of outfits for a number of my comic book characters with it, including the jacket, opera cloak, and mask for the Buccaneer, José Calros Mirandez; a hooded kataginu, obi, belt, and Jika tabi for Kageto; and an armored jacket, boots, greaves, gun belt, battle glove, and smart glasses for the Night Warrior, US Army Delta Force CSM Steven H. Panther.

    Actually, both the jacket and cloak both currently use the R72 SimVelvet shaders for their main texture. If I can ever "complete" the cloak for commercial release It needs some JCMs and such that I don't know how to make), it will need its own textures, but for my current needs, they suffice.
