Urbanarmitage, you might want to PM trav and ask him.  However to me it looks like he might have used Wardrobe Wizard to fit the dress to V2 prior to clothifying the hip of the dress.  I know when I use Wardrobe Wizard to fit clothing.....it fits it snuggly and sometimes I end up with that effect.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
