I ran the dress through tailor and added various chest, lats, butt, hip, thigh, knee bend and shin morphs.

This is the result. However, other than the chest, the rest of it just happened when I posed the figure.

Despite my having added "knee bends" they don't show up, so I can't bend the skirt at the knee. I have tried bending the thigh portion of the skirt down, but that loses the lap portion of the dress and I have to then make the right buttock/thigh/shin/foot invisible.

Here is a draft render.

Skirts and dresses are notorious for this. There's turning it dynamic and going from there, or you might have to actually make a "sitting" morph for the dress. Morph Master is here in Freebies, might see what you can do with it to help position it better than with just regular body joint systems.

I posted a thread earlier asking about working with conforming clothes and animation... this is the dress I was referring to. Someone in that thread talked about converting the dress to dynamic, but I don't know how to do that. I'm still trying to get the hang of the tailor, but it's not helping me at all getting clothing to fit a figure when it's sitting down.

Do you have the DAZ Morphing Fantasy Dress, or other dress that contains sit morphs? If so, you can try transferring the sit morph morphs to this dress. It often works, IME. Otherwise, your best bet may be magnets. Or maybe a combination, with this dress, since it has a double skirt. Transfer the sit morphs, then use magnets to pull the overskirt up a bit, so it doesn't cut into the skirt below it.

How do you transfer morphs from one dress to another?

With the Tailor, the same way you transfer morphs from a figure to a dress. You load the dress with the morphs you want first, then load the dress you want to transfer the morphs to. It works exactly the same.

Ok, I'll try that method too. This is all very frustrating, but fun at the same time. I'm dealving into areas that I haven't tried yet with poser... it's actually made it interesting. I love a good challenge provided I don't have a breakdown before finishing it, LOL I'm not the most patient of people.

Thanks again :)

PS: This dress is absolutely gorgeous, it's the Bacall Dress from Poser Pros, and there are additional textures for it too. It's an incredible dress, but not the easiest to work with because it doesn't have any morphs. PPS: I just noticed it's for V1/2, but I'm using it on V3, and have had no trouble with it fitting her using the Tailor.

The top doesn't look like it fits correctly. It's way too big for her boobs.

I used breast size 8, Maybe should have used size 7. I'm still new to the tailor and transfering morphs and am still learning what morphs do what. Thank you for the observation. I was so concerned with the skirt that I didn't really notice her chest :)
