I was actually trying to avoid anything dynamic only because Poser seems to try to "stretch" the fabric for some reason.  It is probably my fabric settings though.  I can kinda-sorta use the cloth room, but am a noob at it too.  Really, I am only good at using the Pose room LOL.

*I do know how to get clothing to drape by putting the T-Pose on frame 1 and the final pose on frame 30, etc etc.  It is only fabric behavior that I lack knowledge of.

 EDIT: Also, I did try making it a normal dynamic dress, but the shoulder puffs...
"deflated."  How do I solve that if I did the hybrid?

 

How would I do the Dyn/Conf hybrid?

It sounds to me -correct me if I am wrong- like I still do the grouping (AutoGroup Editor) and boning (QuickConform) like I already did, , but then use the cloth room once I get V4 posed.  Am I right?

I can try the hybrid thing either tomorrow or the day after AND once I get confirmation on how to do it.  However, I would still like to do the conforming version if I can.  I just prefer conforming because it is easier to use (apparently it is harder to make though LOL).
