Identify the various routes, choose the dress to change . For this example, I changed the one for wench

 

If not present, create in Skyrim \data \meshes the correct path 

 

In the exsample, Skyrim data \meshes \clothes \wench

Download and extrat a mod . For example  [Melodic] Waitress Better with Bodyslide

copy in Skyrim data, calienteTools folder , the textures folder and, if present, the cubemap folder

Open bodyslide , reshape by paying attention to the path indicated . Take the nifs from the path , and copy them into the clothes\wench folder . Now, you can remove both the Bodyslides and the meshes created . DO NOT throw away textures

 

Open the clothes\wench folder and rename the nifs as

 

1stpersonwenchoutfitf_0

1stpersonwenchoutfitf_1

wenchoutfitf_0

wenchoutfitf_1

wenchoutfitbootsf_0

wenchoutfitbootsf_1

 

All wenches will wear the dress thus replaced

You may ask: why nifskope if it has not been used so far?
Simple. If you want to apply SMP or HDT or Nioverride :

 

How to insert HDT-SMP (SkinnedMeshesPhysics)

 

How to insert HDT-PE into body

 

How to add NiOverride into armor

 

You will say ; " But there is TAWOBA to replace the clothes" . 

Sure, but you have to install about 1GB of mod to replace them 

With this method, you only change what you want, minimising the weight
