#gamedev DM question re this post: basically asking about dynamic cloth.
This quick paint over demonstrates cloth for a static mesh. The original artist simulated the cloth and had to sub divide to get a passable bend...

...once the cloth had settled and baked into the static mesh, thr extra topo does nothing. And of course the edge is jagged.
So this example shows how the orientation of the grain of the mesh helps make nice bends.
The same is true of dynamic mesh!

You still want a well subdivided mesh for dynamic cloth, however you don't have to have the grain in a lateral/longitudinal grid.
You can have it diagonally orientated, or adjust the density and orientation to accommodate certain areas such as where the legs raise on a tunic

Dynamic cloth doesn't need to be in an even grid.
This is especially true for cloth that is draped and cinched to a characters body. Some areas will hardly move, where others will need to wrinkle and crease a lot.
You can redistribute the mesh density around for that.
