Look at Shiki

Another great way to get some amazing clothes without spending a fortune in SL is to join store groups. Most of these will call themselves VIP groups although a word of warning, some groups will try to charge you to join ( between 50L$ –  500 L$). I found a brilliant  group that belongs to Shiki. This store’s clothes are quite expensive, but join the Group and you can get clothes for men and woman that are all free! You even get an update every month when another gift is out. So go have a look at Shiki.
