I love your Alice stuff. Nicely done. I think the comment on clothes looking "clay'like" comes from the fact that you randomized. That's probably what created the bumpy "feel". Having messed in Wings quite a lot I wonder what it would look like, granted probably too late, if you would have selected alternating edges and moved "normal" to create an almost pleated look. Not really necessary though, excellent modelling job...really well done piece so far.
