I know if I keep on making more JCM to achieve the goal, this single piece of simple clothing will take me years to complete!  Any other thoughts/ideas/suggestions?

I think you've already achieved a lot. I for one am thoroughly impressed by how well those panties keep their shape.

I know that Antonia herself does not look perfect in every conceivable pose, and it bugs me. But as you say, one could work years on getting every little detail just right, and at some point the gain in quality is no longer worth the effort. You have to know for yourself when that point is reached for what you make. But I'm sure with every piece of garment you make, you will be a bit faster and have a better feeling for what can be achieved with which techniques, and how far you want to go.

Sorry if I don't have any more useful ideas. I'd love to have a good modeling programming that understands Poser's bending, so that one could tweak the JCMs while trying out different poses and see the results right away. But as far as I know, there is no such beast. Maybe it could be written in Python on top of Poser, or in DAZ's Javascript variant on top of D|S, but that would be a pretty big project, and I don't know if the respective APIs would provide enough information and fast enough feedback.

Dynamic clothing is the only alternative I can see to JCMs or magnets, but obviously conforming clothes are easier to use, and there's the problem with D|S.
