The problem is skirts just don't work properley in poser if you make them the right way....well if there is a right way ;o).....as an example try sitting the p4 woman with a p4 skirt.......i must confess to not being an imdediate fan of the morphing skirt but all attempts to do one that conforms (in the true sense) and allows true full movement without spiltting or texture messing has failed so this was my first attempt into this....to use it you need to parent it to Vickys hip.....The newer ones use like the classic dress use conforming combined with morphs and a handle but i'm afraid still a pain for animating....in theory i guess it could be used for animations but as you say you need to work it frame by frame, the reference to animation in the readme means you can use it copyright wise, in an animation...if your animating best use an old type skirt like the one off the business suit on page 8.......Steve
