Modelling clothes in Rhino is a whole different kettle of fish. If you need to create fairly close-fitting clothes in Rhino, the method used by most modellers I've seen is to begin with using the Contour command to build a series of curves around the parts of the Poser model you want to make clothes for. Then, you delete the curves you don't want, rebuild the curves you need in order to make them easier to work with and loft them together. Then you have a shape you can manipulate with control points. I've done this and it works fine, but it's tricky to get the balance right between enough detail to produce a good model and having too much too work with easily, so you need to experiment a lot. Although it's about creating a character rather than clothing, the tutorial by Spike is worth looking at because it uses the same initial methods. If you haven't seen it already, it's worth a look, check the link.
