Even if the OP meant clothes layering (eg. v-neck sweater over tshirt as separate player selectable pieces) if they're using "server load" as an excuse they need better engineers or actually give a straight answer like "our engineering resources are required on other priorities".

Proper dye slots would involve a small amount engine work but would need a huge amount of labor from the art department to mark the areas to apply each additional dye. Further they'd need to make sure the textures don't cause the dyes to wash out or oversaturate.

They could potentially use some image processing tools to automate some of that but it would definitely need to be reviewed.
