This is an overview of the Meshbody Legacy (Perky Edition) for Second Life avatars. Almost all the information also applies to Meshbody’s Pregnancy and Feminine bodies, however the photos are only of Petite, and the list is what comes with Petite. Other bodies may have slightly different content. As always I strongly encourage you to demo before making any final purchases. To browse other mesh heads, bodies, and more check out The Mesh Directory.

Pros, Neutral Notes, and Cons
Other things of note to consider that haven’t been mentioned above.
Pros
- The body is visually stunning and looks good for slender and curvy avatars.
- There is an incognito mode that hides your body from others. This can be helpful when trying to be less intrusive (such as at popular shopping events)
- This is the only feminine body by Legacy to come with fit deformers. The deformers change the body shape so it can be used with most Maitreya clothing and shoes. (Note: This does not alter the hands.)
- It’s a great option for people who like a natural small-chested look and for people who like the large yet perky stylized breasts.
Neutral Notes
- The body has 5 applier layers (skin + 4 more). The top 4 applier layers can be used with BOM skins.
Cons
- Meshbody uses their own system for some parts of their HUD. This requires in-game media to be enabled to use it. If Meshbody for whatever reason no longer supports their body, this functionality could be lost entirely.
- While the body has applier layers, it’s not Omega compatible so you’re limited to Legacy specific products.
- The alpha system isn’t as obvious as other bodies. The sections of the HUD make it look like the alpha are huge, but they run together. Each section has multiple cutouts included, you just can’t visualize it easily until you click them.
- The included skins are gorgeous, however you have to use neck blenders or chokers to match head skins to the body skins. 36 shades of “Neckfade” textures are included with your body to make it easier, but it’s still an extra step of customization some people may not be interested in. No BOM skins come with the body.
