With the current setup, when I want to remove an item from my wardrobe, I have to click "Edit Items" and I get a text list of all the items in my wardrobe. It would be easier if removing items was somehow built into the regular item view - that way I can see the item image and sort by clothing type so I don't have to scroll through all the items to remove one.

It is though? I don't know if it's been added into the beta wardrobe yet but you just wear the item, check the box next to it and click Checked to Inventory in the old wardrobe.

Ah, I see that in the old wardrobe. No, in the beta wardrobe there are checks by items you're wearing, but their only current function is to toggle whether the item actually shows on your avatar preview.

Ah, then yeah I don't know if that's something planned to be added later or not. It is still in testing.
