dForce Wind & Clothing Explosion Methodology?

What has been peoples 'best' solutions?

I was trying different experiments and ended up with a cube shaped to be a blanket just blowing away from the model, and a dress just making a rather pretty explosion flower.

Dropping the 'Simulation Strength' from 1 to .99 and below seemed to cure the issues with the dress.
Dropping it to about .5 stopped a ponytail detaching from the hair.

Now, still doing the reading, but does anyone know where I'd find which direction I can set Wind to blow in from?
Both the direction the 'blanket' blew away in, and the direction the dress exploded along, were the same.
