Flirty School Uniform for Genesis 8 Female(s) is not dForce compatible, the shirt exploded on simulation, the skirt slides off the hips. It does not claim to be dForce compatible in the product page, but I think that for $18.95 it really should be. There is not even a "belt" material zone on the skirt to allow that to be removed from the simulation.
If Charlie would be kind enough to update the product with at least a belt material zone, I for one would be very grateful.

Try clicking on the belt with the Geometry Editor tool, then pressing ctrl * (cmd * for a Mac) to select all connected - does that get most or all of the belt and nothing else? If so you can right-click, Geometry Assignment>Create Surface from Selected, then use the same method to select any remaining parts, right-click Geometry Assignment>Assign to Surface. You might also try selecting the top edge of the skirt, which will be fiddlier, and either assigning a new material or simply using the select to fill a weight map for dynamic strength with 0 to anchor the top.
I resorted to selecting some of the vertices on the top edge of the skirt and making them into a separate material zone. That new material can be removed from the simulation. This works for the simulation but it also removes the texture from this material zone.
I tried applying a weight map node to the skirt and selecting the top edge of the skirt, but I could not get that to work; I'm not sure why.
Still, my point remains that a clothing set for G8 costing $18.95 should really have material zones built in which could make it compatible for use with dForce.
You should be able to apply the base shader (assuming it isn't using the daz Default Shader) to the new zone and then copy and paste the settings. I measnt to add that to my semi-instructions.
