As a non-programmer, non-3D expert, I'm curious why clothes not designed for specific figures (or in my experience, sometimes even clothes that are designed for specific figures) have to be adjusted with morphs at all. Is it technically not possible to automate this so that conforming clothing will never intersect the underlying mesh, whether it's the figure or another item of clothing?

Yes, by implementing collision detection - essentially the same thing that dynamic clothing uses. 'Other' software is fully capable of this, just not Poser, currently.

The fitting room can be used to fit clothing to just about any figure you want - I've used it to fit child size clothing to adults, including shoes - with decent results. But it's not a one-click solution. It requires a bit of patience and time to understand how the fitting room works and then develop your own workflow that works best for your needs. Some figures work better in the fitting room than others, depending on how their body parts are grouped. An in-depth tutorial on the fitting room would be a nice resource.
