Our resident artist/vendor/administrator GKDantas has just released a new V4 Bikini texture set called JeansMania, with Carrara shader support.
Unlike other texture sets, you get support for Poser, Daz Studio and Carrara, with unique extra shaders for Carrara.
You need V4 and Basicwear for V4, both are included for free with Carrara 8 Pro (not sure about C8 non Pro).

A new section for CarraraCafe has been added, the Freepozitory, currently only a button link on the main page to the original forum post.It includes to most important links to the major freebie sites, like ShareCG, Renderosity and the old Daz3D Freepozitory, but the idea is to add new freebie links too.
ShareCG freebies for Carrara: http://www.sharecg.com/b/5/3D-Models/?keywords=&member_type[All]=on&attribute[2005][2489]=1&attribute[2017][-1]=1&attribute[2538][-1]=1&tdm=a&s=dd
