One more bone in between the hip and the new parent. See what I mean? It makes it so that the Hip can swivel and move around (with IK on) So you basically have a hip body handle- hip and hip2 Also important to point it in the right direction. I use it as a point without an endpoint.Also you need stabilizer bones for the hip body handle, just a left and right bone also parented to the hip body handle, this lets you move the bone around to point in different dirrections. You can also call hip lower Abdomen and hip 2, hip and it will work with most pose files but you will have to set lower abdomen manually. And yes you must recut the mesh into new groups. I like using a large hip group and my thigh, hip and lower abdomen actually all bend in the hip group. But you can use the bikini style hip group too.
