Commission Requirements
Every commission combines a brief, budget, and visible tag targets. Treat those targets as the final checklist rather than choosing materials by color alone.

Answers that connect to the next step
Each system page gives a direct answer first, then requirements, visible facts, practical notes, and related guides.
Sketchbook
The sketchbook is the commission planning screen: choose garment pieces, preview material tags, compare the design against the request, and draft the pattern.
Open player answer ->
Cutting Room
The cutting room turns a drafted pattern into fabric panels. Placement and grain direction affect the final dress, so cutting is more than tracing the shortest layout.
Open player answer ->
Sewing Machine
The sewing machine converts cut panels into a garment. Keeping the needle near the marked seam builds the quality score used by commissions and achievements.

Each route opens with the actionable answer, then gives prerequisites, ordered decisions, common mistakes, and connected system records.

Common questions
Fast answers for new dressmakers
These are visible player answers, not hidden metadata or keyword padding.
How do I meet a Dressmaker commission?
Read the visible tag and quality targets in the sketchbook, plan the full silhouette, preview fabric swatches, and verify every bar before completing the dress.
How do I make money early?
Finish paid commissions, then sell simple off-the-rack dresses made from spare or inexpensive fabric. Keep enough gold for the next request.
Can I still get 100% quality with Sewing Assist?
Community achievement guidance reports no known penalty. The exact scoring implementation is not publicly documented, so the wiki labels that conclusion as community-derived.
Does this wiki list every fabric and accessory?
Not yet. The game reports more than 450 fabrics and 350 accessories. This build focuses on the systems that turn those items into useful commission, money, and achievement decisions.
