Quote - They look great!  One thing to add might be a seam down the front, if I were you I'd do that with a displacement or bump map.  About the hem edges, you don't have to do that as a soft decorated group, but you do seem to have it working well anyhow :)  What I do that also works is assign the hem vertices to a group with different fold resistance etc.  If you want to look at the settings I used you're welcome to them:

The settings and groups should be saved into the PP2 file and pop up when you set up a coth simulation for that prop.

Lol once again I've over engieered the solution ;) thanks pzj, Ill look at the dynamic groups thing
