I use Marvelous Designer, but you can try D-Force. Also you can get some good results with Fit Control and Mesh Grabber. It'd be too hard to go over everything, but I think there are some posts about some of these. You could also google and look into these. I think the easiest would be either Fit Control or Mesh Grabber.

Fair enough.I like how it looks
Of the two, while Mesh Grabber is a lot more labor intensive, it seems to generate far better results. Or would in the hands of someone who isn't me, but even being as awful as I am with it, it does more predictable results. Fit Control also seems very focused on ... well, large traditional pieces of clothing. Odder, more piecemeal pieces (sleeves that aren't part of a shirt, for example) it doesn't seem to know what to do with.

So I need second opinions here.
1 is how I've been doing her. I've been okay with it, but I feel like she often looks overly pasted-in and not like she was there.
2 is trying a different method, but I think I overcompensated and she's too bright.
3 is a combination of the two methods. So far, I'm thinking I should do that.
Anyone have any thoughts?

You may want to experiment with some depth of field, so that the background is a bit soft compared to her so she sticks out better. Also, there is a slight shadow on the wall, but you may want to bump up some lights so it's a bit more. If you stand that close to a wall, or we see the floor that close, you'd likely see a more noticeable shadow.
She's got though, so there's that

By adding depth of field does that help any? Just wondering if the ground being slightly blurred helps with the illusion.
The best will be a cloth sim, from Marvelous Designer, Blender, Maya, etc. But that get's pretty complicated if you don't know those programs. Even then, for example in MD, it's tough working with things with buttons, added stuff, etc. Basic shirts work best. Who knows, maybe in the next versions of Daz there will be some better options.

May need to. I have an aversion to depth of field due to seeing it overused (as in, blurred to the point of nonsense) so much.
And that's supposed to be the floor. As you can see in this test where I thought the arm positioning wasn't so bad, rendered, and said "Oh god no"

Many styles are overused in Daz.
It's the nature of the hobby.
Until you get to the "super artistic, that's totally his/her style, I can see it right away" level of artistry, it's kind of hard to turn down anything that improves an image, IMO.
(I know I'm not at that stage of art.)

I like the idea. Whatever you're using for the genitals needs assistance due to the visible line, but solid idea.

Jackie, one of the girls from my project, in a night of insomnia.
Do you guys have any tip to improve the renders, apart from the obvious "make her nude"? For now, my work seems... plain...

Did a DOF experiment and darkened the shadow a hair, including the non as comparison. Neither one of these are anywhere close to final, just 5 minute bashes to see what works.
Yeah, the blur thing helps. Damnit. Y'all are right.

Your rendering wider than you are tall, but your figure is taller than she is wide. She's basically getting lost in the sea of WhoGivesAShit to the sides.
Keeping the 16:9 ratio but doing portrait instead of landscape would get something like this -
Maybe zoom that out a bit so she's not about to exit the frame, but you get the idea. She's now the focus and her expression, positioning, etc is what you're paying attention to, not the bar behind her or the big-ass couch she's on.
Of course, if it's a render for a game, you can't really do tricks like that. So do the best you can -
Focus is still on her face and body language, and you've cut out the unimportant stuff.
