Books can be of great help. I only know about Lightwavebooks since LW is what I use, but there has to be a max-book that covers all the basics, just like Inside Lightwave does for LW. Since clothes are organic, I'd get started on some basic organic modeling tuts that can take you beyond the sphere. Once you get the hang of modeling you should look up texturing tuts, since textures define different types of clothing. I've heard from others that max is pretty tough to crack at the beginning, so another option is to sell your copy and get Lightwave. My (humble) opinion is that LW is easier to teach yourself than max. Either way; 3D is never easy, but keep one thing in mind; NEVER GIVE UP!!! Greets
