tastiger: the draping procedure works only when a) the character is not morphed and b) the final pose is not too complicated.

If you want to have a character wearing a dress sit down on a chair, there's no other way than setting up a simulation. If you rely on draping, the cloth will intersect with the chair on the first frame, and the simulation won't work.

And if a pose is more complicated, which means that when animating from zero pose to the final pose the figure self-intersects, you can't use draping either - you'll have to set up an animation with multiple keyframes.

That is why I don't bother with draping. In more than 90% of the cases I'd have to switch to animation, so I start out with animation.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
