Thanks for the advice and comments all. I'll try playing around with the Collision Offset and Collision Depth again but I wasn't able to get too close to the desired effect like that last time. I'm still very much a Poser noob though so I may get lucky. ;)

Mike, that makes a lot more sense now! The way the cloth up top seemed figure-hugging in places made me assume that it was dynamic. I downloaded SVDL's hybrid a little while ago so i'll try that and see how it pans out. His work really is awesome. Thanks for getting back to me!
