im just curious, when people model humans (or whatever clothes wearing creature) do you choose to model the full body first and then add clothes over the top or perhaps edit the frame to be wearing clothes, do you not do the body at all and simply model the clothes? or what other method do you use...

thanks for your help

Depends if you want the clothes to be dynamic or not. Sometimes it can be helpful to model the character first for proportions, then make the clothes, then delete the body. It doesn't really matter how it's done, just how it looks in the end.
