OK ..

Each major Poser figure is shaped differently. And because they are shaped differently, each of them has different joint parameters. The joint parameters define a joint's center of rotation, how it behaves when it bends, twists, or rotates, and what parts of the joint stay stationary, what parts bend, and what parts blend between the two.

Basically, the reason that one set of clothing doesn't usually fit another character is because the joint parameters are different. So, in order for Vicky clothing to be 100% compatible with a model, the model has to have the same basic shape and the very same joint parameters. That way, the clothing will fit the same when you pose it.

Sixus thought he was OK by creating an original mesh ... but as you can see from the above pic, the V3-compatible version was indeed remarkably similar in appearance to V3.

Hope that makes sense.
