Well its attractive and so on, but the thing is how can i achieve the draping effects on clothing in my renders. I have a feeling it may be something to do with dynamic clothing. Can anyone point me to methods to get this kind of control over clothing.
The image is simply to illustrate what i mean.

There is a piece of dynamic clothing called 'Dynamic Comfy Sweater' over at Renderosity which you should check out - it looks almost exactly like your picture (and it is currently on sale until the end of today). It is designed for the Poser Material Room, so you will need Poser to use it, but does come with a detailed PDF tutorial.
In DAZ you could get this effect by taking some dynamic clothing, scaling the human model down to give the impression of an oversized garment (dynamic clothes do not resize), and then running an animated drape with 'guides' to direct the clothing over the shoulder.
Thank you so much. I am exclusively using Daz so i will have to pass on that. I understand how scaling down would give the oversized effect to the garment. From there on you lost me. I have tried dynamic a few times,, but found it difficult to understand the draping process. Therefore the terms animated drape with guides means almost nothing to me. Mayne you could suggest some reading or tutorial that would give me an insight into how this works.
ReDave's Your First Drape and Beyond gives an introduction to Dynamics. You should also go to the Optitex store and download some of their freebies so you have something to work with. Good luck!
EDIT: You might be able to find conforming clothing with off-the-shoulder morphs if you look hard enough. For example V4 Timeless has morphs to take the straps down.
Shameless self promotion on my part here but just wanted to let you know I focus on just that issue in my sets.....I strive to create a dynamic appearance through morphs on conforming clothing!.......Super easy to use dials!
