This happens from time to time. The reason for it is that an required attachment is either: A) Missing/not attached, B) Not loading properly. A quick an easy fix is to go to "Avatar -> Choose An Avatar" and load a default avatar from there, then re-load your outfit again(replacing the default avatar), or remove the attachments you do not need and re-attach what you were wearing. Alternatively, you can create the following from the "New Body part" menu when right clicking a new folder and wear each of them:
- A shape
- A skin
- Some hair
- Some eyes
If option 2 does not work, you may need to do option 1.
If neither options work, you can force your avatar to the default test characters. To do this, press "CTRL + ALT + Q", a new option menu should appear saying "Developer" (It'll be after 'Help" on the same bar as "Avatar", "Comm", "World", "Build", etc). From there, go to Developer -> Avatar -> Character Tests -> Test Male (or Test Female if you would like, it doesn't matter which). This should fix the issue if it is of the common issue.
I suggest disabling the developer menu when done: Toying around with the settings in there if you do not know what you are doing can cause unexpected side effects, including viewer crashes(I.E.: Force an error). If you wish to disable this, simply press "CTRL + ALT + Q" to toggle it back off.
