That's a very cool outfit!!!Yes, your obsevation is correct concerning the cloth settings values exported from VF. The material's dynamic cloth settings from the materials you chose in VF will load in as well when you Clothify the garment. Draping with the cloth settings imported from VF is a good start and actually is a big plus :)
When I use the Cloth room in general, I usually tweak the Fold Resistance, Stretch and Cloth Density and the Simulation Settings subsets like self cloth detection, especially if I'm going to run an animation.
I worked with Joe Grover and Jeff Flower on their 3-Axis Poser 5 Demystified video tutorial some years ago when the Cloth Room was first introduced. That instructional tape contained several invaluable video tutorials on dynamic cloth room settings and how they actually applied in animations. Last I heard, they sold through inventory and it's no longer available.
Anyway, I'm glad to have helped out this weekend. Now, it's time for me to get back to dressing my kids in their Sunday best :) Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Best,

p.s. I'll leave you with another quick Miki cloth animation. Just think of the tune "You spin me right round baby, right round, like a record, baby, right round, right round" when you watch it...
