Well (for this dress anyway) the process is very simple. I used the default of 30 frames to run the simulation. At frame one, the figure is in the default position. Load the dress prop from the library. Go to the cloth room, go to frame 30. Apply a pose to your figure or pose it manually (your dress won't be in the right place here, but that's ok). Choose a new simulation (default is start frame at 1, end frame at 30). Check the "Cloth Self-collision" checkbox and type in the amount of frames you want it to drape (I believe this can actually be one, but I normally put 20 or so in there, just cause I still don't quite know what I'm doing...lol). Close that window. Click on the "Clothify" button and choose the dress prop. Click on the "Collide Against" button and select your figure (in this case Angela). You can uncheck the "start draping from zero pose" if you want to and check the "Ignore Head and Feet Collisions" checkboxes if you want. Click the "Edit Constrained Groups" button and then click the "Add Material" button in that window. Select neckline, bow, bow knot and waistband (we want those parts to stick where they are and not migrate anywhere). Close the group editor. Select the settings you want like the cloth density and what not and run the simulation. That's about it ;o).
I'll put my settings in the readme when I gather it all up for upload :o).
