My results from using the wrong mouse as a dress dummy??  The ends of the sleeves (the wrist ends) were all screwed up.

I decided to just shorted the sleeves a bit to take care of it instead of going through the whole process again.

The problem is (and what I didn't realize), is that you can't just zero a figure and then export it from Poser.  In the case of the mouse, the zero pose has the hands at a slightly different angle than the actual mouse mesh.

An interesting size note ... the actual mouse mesh has the tail kind of "strung out" .... I've attached a picture.  It's interesting.  I suppose the mesh is like that to give the tail more flexibility??  In any event, when zeroed, it's more all of one piece.

I suppose the lesson from this is .... before you start trying to model clothing for a character, know you model, inside out and sideways.

Could be worse, could be raining.
