One suggestion - hit cancel on some frame before 30. You don't have to let the whole simulation run if you're not actually doing an animation.
Also, in your current file/simulation, try manually skipping back a few frames and see if the dress changes shape at all.
Come to think of it, make sure you are actually LOOKING at frame 30 in your finished simulation. Did you start with a zero pose at frame 1, and skip to frame 30 to pose your figure? Do your simulation settings tell the sim to run from frame 1 to 30?
The pose of the figure is not likely the cause of your problem.
If you followed the tutorial exactly and parented the dress to the figure, then it will be within the figure's hierarchy in hierarchy editor, beneath whatever joint you parented it to (tutorial suggests Chest). If you did not take that step, then the dress will be either before or after the figure's hierarchy; you can collapse the tree of the figure hierarchy to make the dress easier to find if that is so. Again though I don't think that is really your problem.
