I wanted to play with the formal dress and create some decoration on it, but I cant seem to find the texture template file. Am I missing something? Sorry if this seems like a stupid question.

Have you tried making your own in UV Mapper yet? :-) It actually creates better templates than the default ones.

I believe the formal dress template was the one that was left out of Poser 4. hmatienzo is right--make your own in UV Mapper. Download it from Freestuff. Go to 'new', browse to the .obj in the Poser/Runtime/Geometry folder and open it. Then save the template from there. If you need more help with this, there is a tutorial also or you can come back here for help.

Thank you for your help. Now for one more quick question. Does DPI make a difference? I downloaded the program, made a template. I was going to take some of the stuff I have (florals and laces) in a different dpi and put it on the skirt. If I go down that low in dpi, I am afraid that I will really lose some details.

You can increase the size of your template to whatever you want. I think this is what you are asking. Can't remember what UV Mapper default saves to but, for instance, you could increase the size of your formal dress template to 2000 x 2000 or 3000 x 3000 or whatever. Does that help? If the map is larger, you may not have to resize the textures--or not too much. I didn't say this and don't want to offend you if you already know this, but be sure and use layers above the template and/or save the finished texture to another name--otherwise you will lose your template G.

thanks!
