True, though you can only do so much with Picrew. You used to be able to make whole costumes with programs like IMVU, Millsberry, and even the avatar maker on Yahoo Answers. Now it's just the two, and you need an account to use the Solia one.

Oh yes, good point. Gosh, I haven't thought about IMVU in years.

I played it once or twice (give or take another few times), discovered all of its secrets and embraced the community by the second day, almost the next thing I knew it was gone.
