Well since this is already outed by another post and its on topic.. I guess I'll let the cat out of the bag.

First step is to get yourself some poser clothes, either one of the defaults or something youve procured by other menas.
The now infamous catsuit debacle would be one example.

Im sure different folks have different methods Ill explain mine,

go ahead and get the clothing set up in poser, its best to get it in a few different poses, (arms up and arms down if it has sleeves etc.) and get it from a few angles, front, back, 3/4 left, 3/4 right... whatever you feel youll need.
The important thing here is to set up your lighting FIRST and not move it until youve taken all the stock images youll need for the final product.

open up good ol' photoshop (or paintshop if you really must) and import all of your rendered images, cut and paste them into your clothing template and stretch and distort the different angles and pieces from the shots into place, smudge the edges so its clean and viola.

No I will not go into file type for exporting, no i will not go into how to light it, no I will not help you use photoshop to merge the images.
No do not IM me in world asking questions.

This is a fairly advanced technique and if you want it you have to work for it/

Ok Ill give a little help...

your lighting setup in poser can make the outfit look "just ok" or it can make it look amazing. A LOT of the final product is going to depend on setting up your lights to give the clothes some depth.
Also depending on the clothing setting up your material's reflective qualities can make a world of difference.
