Mesh Smoothing 'unstitched' the jeans jacket at the seems

Electro-Elvis

I have bought "Hongyu's Cowgirl 3 for V7". I find it nicely modelled and it has well made textures. BUT... when I try to use mesh smoothing with smoothing iterations higher than around 5 the parts of the garment start to looking 'unstitched' (please see attached example with smoothing iterations of 30).

Other clothes I have bought do not have that behaviour. But maybe there is a function, which could mitigate this effect. (E.g. I changed the parameter 'Smoothing Type' from 'Base Shape Matching' to 'Generic'. That works fine and the jacket does not look unstitched anymore, but the smoothing effect is very small and not really what I want.) Or is it simply as designed and the artist has not considered mesh smoothing?

Thanks.

It looks as if the mesh is not welded along those seams, so as the smoothing rounds the edges out they separate. You could open a Technical Support ticket to report that, though since the set works as supplied it may not be counted as a bug.
