My therory as to why the dress stretches, its because the dress hip does not have a choreographed group.

In Poser 5 cloth room, under the 'cloth groups' settings for [hip] click the 'edit choreographed group' button, you should see a ring of red dots around the top edge of the dress hip.

If not, then check the 'hide other objects button' on the 'group editor' to get a better view and zoom, pan, and rotate camera as neccissary (may want to switch to posing camera, so as not to lose the main's posistion). then select each of, and only, the top vetices of the dress hip. If you get any that you shouldn't, select the minus button on the 'group editor' and then select the vertices that don't belong. Click the plus button to start adding again. make sure to go all the way around.

When done, close the 'group editor', return camera, and run the simulation. If this doesn't work... well at least it's a good exercise for editing dynamic cloth groups. :)
