This is what I did this time:

1. Load figure
2. Add MFD
3. Used Wardrobe Wizard to fit the dress
4. Set 60 frames
5. Did pose at frame 30
6. Went back to frame 1
7. Enter cloth room
8. New Simulation - 60 frames
9. Self Collision
10. Clothify - Dress Hip
11. Collide against - Figure 1 (Vicky) and Ground
12. Unchecked "start draping at zero frame)
13. Checked "ignore head collision"
14. Checked "ignore hand collision"
15. Checked "ignore foot collision"
16. Turned Stretch Resistance to ZERO
17. Calculate Simulation.

One thing I notice that I noticed before, but wasn't sure about until now...

I have the MFD and "Hip" selected before entering the cloth room. I click "new simulation". However, when I go to "clothify" the hip part of the dress, I get a message saying that the part is already included in the simulation and that I can't clothify it again. There is no "Collide against" button available for me to use though. So I cancel and try again. The second time I cancel I get the "collide against" button which allows me to set the collision.

Maybe the hip of the dress isn't being clothified at all. However, something is being clothified... but if it's not the hip, I don't know what it is.

I tried setting up a new simulation having Vicky and "Body" selected, yet when I went to try and clothify the hip of the dress, I got that same window telling me that the part was included in the simulation. Could this be a by product of having used Wardrobe Wizard to fit the dress?
