Including the contents disk, Poser 5 comes with over 200 items of
clothing. (OK, many of them are specific to one character, so there's
only about 50 items of clothing that fit any particular character
without tweaking them yourself or using something like Tailor).

That's not bad at the price, considering how much work goes into
building clothes models from scratch.

There's also an awful lot of free poser clothes out there. Some of it is
quite reasonable, but it does tend to be mainly exotic and fantasy
clothing. 

You can tweak any of the clothing items by changing the textures, using
transparency maps to cut bits away, scaling parts of the clothing, using
deformation maps, applying magnets, etc. 

The transparency map technique can be particularly useful. You can cut
down any existing item of clothing. If the clothing item doesn't come
with a template, then use UVMapper (free) to generate one. Paint a
transparency map image black for the bits you want to cut away and white
for the bits you want to keep.
