I suppose an interesting thing to add to this would be: Most Vocaloids in Miku's age range and of the same gender follow the guidelines of Miku's outfit. Whether they were inspired by Miku, or the standard popular anime girl design that Miku herself was inspired by is up for grabs (and would probably vary between Vocaloids anyway, haha); but the fact does remain is the majority share the same 'base'.

1. Short skirt, mostly pleated.

2. Thigh-high stockings.

3. School-girl inspired attire.

This is a relatively specific archetype, when comparing it to other clothing bases – for example it's pretty different to popular design bases in the West, so it's worth being aware of.
