I went over the tutorial and it is great.  I haven't taken the dress into Poser yet, but I will.  The lofting procedure is really neat.  The only problem I'm having is that I seem to run into a collision problem when I try to loft the tutu section.

However, it does give a lovely drape of the folds.  I've still got to try doing the arm sections that way .... I suppose you can loft sideways??

Could be worse, could be raining.
