I want to create something like this:

Would the long "flowing" or "draping" sleeves require attaching prim's or can this be done via texturing the avatar UV's only?

The only method that would have a ghost of a chance would be by using flexi-prims, and I fear that you can't make the shapes that you would need into flexi-prims. AFIK, only cylanders and cones can be made into flexi's, not cubes, wedges, toroids or other shapes. And when you make a cone flexi, it only flexes on it's axis, so it still would not drape from the arm like that.

*Sigh* I would LOVE a dress like that. I own something very similar in RL. But in SL it's just this side of impossible, especially if you want it to move naturally with the person wearing it. Maybe in SL 3.0, in a decade or so?

Cuboids, or boxes as SL likes calling them can be flexi. Don't think you could get the curves to work, but you might be able to with clever cuts and textures.
