I use hexagon to make clothes all the time. It's really really slick and easy to use!
It does everything I needed so far, and if you catch it on DAZ sale, you can get it really cheap... $1.99 to $30 depending on which sale you stumble upon.
It has really nice UV mapping unwrap tool.

You can see some of the things I made with it here: http://www.contentparadise.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6151&page=36
Clothing sims were made in max, models were built in Hex.

Get hex, and use the rest of the money to get additional bells and whistles, like Vue ;)
