Smoothing modifier and animations

Hi there :)
I'm working on an animation and enabled smoothing modifier on an outfit to fix poke through. It works fine when doing a render of only one frame, but it looks like it's not applied at all when rendering the whole animation :(
Please did you have this issue and how did you resolve it ?
Thanks a lot :)

I found a workaround : I created a morph for the outfit with smoothing modified applied and then removed the modifier :)
