Dress quality & commission requirements

Quality and style are different checks

A high style score does not prove the dress meets its quality requirement. Likewise, tidy sewing does not guarantee the requested colours, material percentages or accessories are present.

Use the game’s requirement panel as your starting point. Write down the exact unmet line rather than describing the whole dress as “not good enough.”

Choose the next check from the unmet line

Start with the specific line the game marks as unmet. Use this order to narrow the question before doing extensive rework:

Open the commission finder to read a matching source reference, or use the manual checklist with your own brief. References are partial; add every missing condition before relying on the checklist.

Review fit, cutting and sewing

Published coverage establishes that measurement and pattern placement matter. Use these as areas to inspect, rather than assuming a single cause for every quality shortfall.

• Fit: check the recorded client measurements and mannequin adjustments.
• Cutting: check each piece’s indicated grain or bias direction.
• Sewing: review completed seams and any quality feedback the game displays.
• Completeness: check whether a panel or required sewing step is still missing.

This is a troubleshooting checklist, not a verified numerical scoring formula. We do not claim that every point of quality can be calculated from these items, or that resewing always solves a shortfall.

Watch for style limits

The published walkthrough describes Chilly Overtime as requiring a professional, warm dress without going over the allowed cute and romantic stats.

That means “add more” is not a universal answer. A trim, bow or fabric can improve one attribute while moving a limited attribute too far. Recheck the panel after decorating.

The exact upper values must come from your own brief. A player report mentioning a quality maximum is not enough to establish that every quality target can have an upper limit.

Read material percentages in the game

The walkthrough describes Sporting Chance as needing at least 60% cotton and Art Appreciator as needing at least 50% sequins. These are source-reported examples for the guide’s edition, not a promise that those commissions appear in browser play.

Do not infer percentages by counting fabric-covered panels. A large skirt and a small collar need not contribute equally. Until the weighting has been verified, use the game’s displayed percentage instead of a guessed calculation.

Separate colour restrictions from colour counts

“Use three different colours” and “only use these allowed colours” are different instructions. A recommendation to mix all allowed colours is not necessarily a requirement to use every one.

For example, the walkthrough describes Carrot Promotion as limiting fabrics to yellow, orange and green, then suggests combining the three for visual depth. Those two statements should not be merged into a new rule.

Check what an accessory requirement measures

An attribute named Flowers is not automatically the same as the number of flower decorations attached. Similarly, an accessory can contribute style points while also satisfying an item-count target.

The A-maze-ingly Lost walkthrough says at least three bells, and its screenshot shows a Bell target of 3. Its later suggestion to buy “a couple” should not override that explicit target. Check your game’s current brief before choosing the count.

An example of comparing values

The published Sporting Chance guide reports a cotton minimum of 60%. For an illustrative checklist, suppose your game shows 55% cotton. Enter Cotton, At least, Percent, target 60, current 55. The checklist flags the shortfall. If the displayed current value later reaches 60%, that one entered comparison passes.

This example does not calculate how much fabric to buy or which panel to change. It is not a tested outfit, and it does not establish that the other conditions pass. The game’s own display supplies the percentage.

Similarly, an upper-limit requirement passes at or below its target, not above it. Our Chilly Overtime reference leaves its numerical caps blank because the source text does not establish them. Copy those caps from your current game before checking.

Keep a change log instead of chasing a formula

Record the original unmet line, make one controlled change, then record the new display. A small worksheet is enough:

If several things changed at once, you cannot confidently assign the result to one of them. If the display did not change, record that too; it is useful evidence. A successful adjustment in one commission does not establish a universal scoring rule.

If the dress is still short

Make one change at a time and note what the requirement panel does. Take a screenshot of the brief and the unmet line before extensive rework. That gives you more useful evidence than a finished-dress picture alone.

If the problem persists, record your platform, edition/build where available, commission name and the steps tried. The Steam discussion board is an official game-community destination. A player report is not by itself proof of a bug, and this site cannot recover a save or guarantee a repair.
