When I use the beta wardrobe, I can get my backdrop (Vase of dead snapdragons) to go behind my skin layer, but when I save it that layering doesn't stay the same. As of right now you can't see the skin on my HA and it looks stupid. I've got a bunch of clothes and eyes floating over a background.

Try to drag the background under your base. In the beta, it's a layer which lets us now use background without HA cutouts. c:

I tried that, it works in the beta wardrobe but when I save it it still doesn't show up correctly on my profile or the forums or whatever. Thanks for the suggestion though :)
