About the game
The game is a tailoring game about running a small shop and creating custom dresses for customers with specific requests. Each commission begins with an occasion, style preference, and budget, then moves through drafting a design, choosing fabric, cutting pattern pieces, sewing seams, adding accessories, and delivering the garment. A beautiful sketch alone is not enough: fabric attributes, grain-line placement, material waste, and sewing accuracy all affect the final evaluation. Read each brief closely, plan before buying, and slow down whenever precision matters.

Dressmaker Beginner Guide
A strong first dress comes from planning the full commission before spending money. Read the request, check design tags, select suitable materials, then protect quality during cutting and sewing.
- 1Read the customer briefOccasion, style, requested details, and budget all matter. A dress can look attractive yet miss the evaluation if it does not meet the customer's needs.
- 2Draft before shoppingUse the sketchbook to compare bodices, sleeves, skirts, collars, and visible style tags before committing to fabric.
- 3Plan the fabric budgetChoose fabric for the requested look instead of automatically buying the most expensive option. Leave room for needed accessories.
- 4Sew for accuracyFollow the sewing guide steadily and watch the accuracy meter. Slowing down is safer than rushing a difficult seam.
Where to Play Dressmaker
A quick starting point for players looking for the current version of the game and a clear route into their first commission.
Dressmaker Commission Guide
Commission success comes from matching attributes efficiently. Start with pattern choices that support the brief, then use fabrics and accessories to fill the remaining gaps.
Librarian Workwear
Prioritize a professional result with a suitable bodice, collar, practical sleeves, and fabric that supports the requested style.
Funeral Commissions
Read every condition closely: different funeral requests may ask for glamour, a black-only palette, or a restrained formal design.
Vegetable Empire
This garden-focused order benefits from workwear-minded choices, playful details, cotton, and the required use of multiple colors.
Dressmaker Fabric Guide
Fabric is both a visual choice and a budget decision. Match its feel and attributes to the commission instead of treating price as a universal quality rating.
Dressmaker Cutting Guide
Cutting is where a promising design can lose quality before it reaches the sewing machine. Use the grain-line indicator, fit pieces carefully, and preserve useful leftovers.
- 1Check the grain lineRotate each pattern piece until its arrow is horizontal. The green outline confirms correct placement.
- 2Place pieces tightlyArrange pieces like a puzzle to use less fabric and keep more material for later orders.
- 3Review fabric use firstThe cutting view shows the needed fabric, giving you time to rethink the arrangement before committing.
- 4Keep leftoversUnused material can help with future commissions, making careful placement valuable beyond the current dress.
