A few tips, especially for beginners. Everyone wants to do a masterpiece and the more you practice, the sooner and faster you'll get there. But don't be in TOO big of a hurry.

1. If you're just starting out in the Cloth room start with small poses, like sitting down, lying down or walking.
2. Fit your clothes to the figure in the default or zero pose position. If nothing else, it's just easier.
