Check out the tony character in the early telly room shots in the clip below to see what i'm gibbering on about

You can normally get rid of most of the problems with characters looking down using this technique but it's a pain - attaching to the chest may be the answer, but it would move away from the collar if the collar was attached to the head.

I know it would be extra work importing them clothes assets again as skeletal meshs, but the result would look much better than a static mesh stuck to a bone. I image you've done this once already when adding the skirt.
