>>5369704I did try shortening the dress about two studs from what I planned, and I also changed the bottom joints to be more flexible.
I did figure out what was causing some of the posing problems though - turns out that rounded piece on the front of the thigh is just enough in the way of the pin plate that it keeps in from moving foward all the way. Same thing applies to one of the rounded plates on the inside.
There's also another try at the upper torso in the background with the arms on. Might try thickening them at some point...
