Fainora to get the draping effect, you'll have to paint shadows/highlights into the texture image you create - the pooling effect, though, can only be simulated with prims as of now, though - so you will need to create your base skirt clothing item, and then build the "pooling" part of it with prims.

Um. I'm definitely no expert builder, but you would probably want to talk to some friends of yours that you know are great builders. If I was any good with prims at all, I would volunteer to help! At any rate, hope that points you in the right direction at least.
