You can find a good way to start at digital tutors or Lynda .com , they cover all aspects of the Maya ncloth system.

I would recommend setting up the primary motion with animation.

Then use a dynamic curve and use the hair system turbulence. To add a dynamic motion to cover up the basic animation.

Finally drive the cloth with the curve simulation. With pfxHair that is convert to mesh.
To add the subtle cloth motion on top.

This will give you art directable cloth with enough layers of dynamics to keep you sain.

I made a simple example For you to check out.

An important note is that the hairsystem uses it's own nucleus.

The pfxhair has a brush attached to make the mesh output flat.. instead of a tube.

the pfx mesh directly connected to cloth inMesh

Have fun
