BLENDER GURUS - How can i edit a mesh while it is posed?

[Loki Eliot]

For ages now i have been working on clothing. Rigging the object to the SL armature as you do. I often change the rig pose to see if ebverything moves correctly as in move arms down to see how my clothes will loook in a normal standing pose. But whats killing me is the inability to then edit the object while it is in this posed position.

As soon as i edit the object, the object returns to an 'Un-Posed' position making it frustratingly hard to adjust. 

My simple question is wether there is a trick i've not yet read that will allow me to edit my Mesh while posed?

Found the 'Corrective Shape Key' addon that would have bee justwhat im looking for... except it broke in Blender 2.61 with no news on wether it'll be updated  http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Animation/Corrective_Shape_Key

This is only a workaround, but you can work on the posed model in sculpt mode. If you need symetry on the X axis, make sure that the pose is symetrical too or things get a bit weird (expectably enough).

Open the Armature modifier and take care that all 4 visibility and editing icons are enabled. YNote the rightmost icon (apply modifier in edit cage) only appears when you have enabled all the other icons:
