Once you have selected the parts you want to remain in color, save the selection ("seletction/save selection").

Now hit cntrl-shift-I to invert the selection (or do it from the selct menu). Everything BUT the clothes will be selected.

Now go to "layer/new adjustment layer/hue-saturation" and make a hue/sat adjustment layer.

Slide the saturation slider on the master channel all the way to the left.

Voila :-)

R.

BTW, you can now adjust the opacity of the adjustment layer, in the layers palette, to allow a partially-desaturated version.

An additional suggestion is that you might further adjust the mask associated with the adjustment layer (that normally white box on the right) to cleanup your selection if it is not perfect. (Mine never are, LOL)

With the mask box selected you can paint with an appropriately selected feathered brush to either show more color where it should be or hide color where it should not be in your particular situation. When selected you can only paint with black, grey or white in a mask. You select a mask by clicking once on it so a thicker border forms around it.

Black painted in the mask hides things in a layer. White reveals things in a layer. That is why masks normally start out as white. Greys in the mask partially hide things on a layer for nice transitions.
