I have that outfit and I can confirm that every part of it, including the shoes and jewellery are dynamic and have to be run through the cloth room.  Here is some information on dynamic clothing including some tutorials.  If you need more help on it, catch me in PM and we can hook up in MSN or ICQ and I can walk you through the process once or twice.

Dynamic Clothing (more information):

The merits of dynamic clothing are:

1.  The clothing looks more natural on the posed figure because it follows the body's "movement" and therefore looks "drapier" instead of still.

2.  Ideal for use on poses where the figure is sitting, kneeling or in any other pose where the legs are not aligned directly below the body IE: bent legs, bent torso etc.

3.  Can be more easily used on various figures instead of just the figure it was created for.

The cons of dynamic clothing:

1.  Has a small learning curve.
2.  Can sometimes be tricky to work with depending on the clothing item and what you are trying to do with it IE: wide sleeves that are drapier, wrapping a towel or scarf.

  1. Because you have to run the clothing through a simulation in the cloth room, it will add a bit of time to your work process.

All of those are well worth the effort to work through because of the overwhelming benefits/results of dynamic clothing.

Here are some tutorials on how to use dynamic clothing in the cloth room:

It's also possible to make conforming clothing into dynamic clothing:

And it's possible to take a conforming outfit and work with it in the cloth room so that parts of it act dynamic.

"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
