Inanimate TFs?

See, I've never heard clothing tf mean that the clothes themselves are what changes, but the person themselves, the same way that animal tf's would be the transformation of people into animals, rather than animals into somethign else, or food tf's are people into food, rather than food into something else.

However, this all seems like nitpicking though.

I'm with your version here. Clothing Transformation to me is person to clothing. What he's describing though to me would be a "Costume Change" or "Wardrobe Transformation" something to describe that the clothes are actually being warn by the person and that's what's changing. Cuz like you said an animal transformation is a person to an animal, not an animal to something else, same rule ought to apply when naming this type.

How about we call it clothing alteration to separate it from clothing transformation, which is an entirely different interest?

That's a great idea, I think that's a perfect way to tell them apart.

Still a bit confusing. : /

Human altered into clothes.
Human transformed into clothes.
Clothing altered into other clothes.
Clothing transformed into other clothes.

To be honest I find it less confusing than clothing tf being set for the actual tf of the clothing. It's the only time I've seen the _______ tf description where the blank was the actual thing being transformed. I mean, we don't say human tf for anything in which a human is transformed into something else, do we? We don't qualify inanimate tf as the tf of an inanimate object, but the tf of someone into a normally inanimate object.

Also, I don't know, I think "Human altered into clothing" such an awkward way of putting it, that I doubt anyone would actually consider it unless they had heard it before or were actively looking for an obscure way to describe it. Clothing being altered, on the other hand, is quite standard, just not in the way they were using it.

Anytime I've seem the clothing changed, it's always been described as the clothing being morphed, but that could fit into the same confusion as you had for "clothing alteration"

And yeah, it does fit into inanimate tf's, a lot of things do, which is why there are subsets of it (food tf, statue tf, so on and so forth). I mean, that's why we separate all teh different tf types, even though they could technically all fit in the "tf" forum.
