If anyone knows of a trick to keep two pieces of fabric together in a Poser simulation that are not topologically connected in the mesh, let me know. Without the sewing, a closed button goes right through the fabric.

Otherwise, I'll just make three or four fixed versions, which is also fine.

I did some investigations into this a few years ago. If memory serves me well making topology changes via Python turned out to be the only potentially feasible route. (I did not explore it) If there were only a single connection, say a clip holding a robe you could play a little with vertices assigned to '_rigid decorated_', but that hardly is highly experimental and I would not recommend it for any content other than strictly own use.  (Sorry Denise I saw your post only later)

Toplogy changes in the cloth object of course require setting up a new simulation.
