i looked through a few pages of the forums and haven't seen anyone else with this problem. forgive me if i didn't look hard enough, though! this problem has persisted ever since the wardrobe got updated. :/
example:

it acts like a background layered over my avatar. i can layer stuff over it but the skin itself remains black and it's pretty frustrating ;_;
i'm using the latest version of chrome. if anyone could offer any insight on how to fix it or guide me to a topic that already addresses it, i'll really appreciate it.
Go to the hair tab and click the link that says click here to remove hair. Doesn't matter if you have salon hair or not, it should remove the black bg.
