Add a Layered Clothing Accessory to a character locally

So I’ve been trying to create a script which equips a piece of layered clothing to a character locally only. I know it seems unintuitive but I’ve already got an entire avatar editor which works locally and updates the character’s appearance on the server once the client finishes editing so it seems only logical to keep going with this approach. Unfortunately though, I can’t find any information on how to equip a layered clothing accessory locally and I am not even sure if it’s possible. Any information would be very helpful thanks!

Cant you just clone the character (on the client) and just add things to that?

Thanks! But I actually have another solution. I plan to just create the accessories on the server and delete them from every other client.
