The problem is not all clothes conform exactly. Sometimes you have to rescale them or work with magnetes or deformers. Be sure that the skirt is conformed to your main figure (the female Poser 4 figure) not skirt conform to bikini bottom that doesn't work. There are problems with morphs too because the clothes are made for the default figures so you have to rescale them, thats the only way. I hope that helps you a little bit and sorry for my poor english but english is not my main language. Christian

It sounds like what for me is a very familiar and old pest from the late 1960's onwards in helping polymer science students with computer programming for their projects, namely: having to trust extrapolating a fitted equation. In this case it is the equation that describes how the model's flesh behaves as his joints articulate: extrapolating it out to how a garment would behave. Interpolating a least-squares or Fourier etc fitted equation: A-OK. Extrapolating it is like a ship without a rudder, and the more wildly inaccurate the further out you go into the void away from the zone of known values.
