Quote - I'm not sure why Grass Dirt is appearing - when I load the dress, I only have the default green colour.   I applied a free mat pose  and it applied correctly.

:)

Yes, the new MAT texture applies and looks ok in the Pose window. However when I render the image, the dress renders in the default green colour because when the new texture is applied, it's generating a "Poser Surface" window (the correct material room node thingy).  But when it's rendering, it's using the data from the "Grass/Dirt" window instead of the "Poser Surface" window with the texture.

And when I rehook the texture to the "Grass/Dirt" node window and change the settings in the dials, the texture doesn't show in the Pose Room Window.
