The dress in this scene is initially just a mesh and not an nCloth object. Your first step will be to convert the dress into an nCloth object.

To convert the dress into an nCloth object

Select the dress.
Select nMesh > Create nCloth > .
The Create nCloth Options window appears.
Select Edit > Reset Settings.

The dress is automatically tessellated and converted to a dynamic nCloth object. Maya also creates a new solver named nucleus1 and adds the dress to it.
