Assistant
What Are You Trying to Do?
Pick the closest answer and this page hands you the one page that solves it. Nothing here is written to be read on its own: the Assistant routes, and every link goes to the page that owns the question.
Eight answers, one per thing a player usually sits down to do.
- Complete a commissionA brief is open and the dress is not made yet.
- Fix a dress that failsThe game rejected it and you need the smallest change.
- Find a pattern, fabric or accessoryYou know roughly what you want, not where it lives.
- Reach a style scoreThe brief names a style and your dress is short of it.
- Find an unlockSomething you want is not available yet.
- Improve dress qualityThe dress passes but the score is poor.
- Fix a cutting or sewing problemSomething went wrong on the table or at the machine.
- Learn how the game worksYou want the system explained rather than a task done.
Your answer
Reach a style score
How far along are you?
Complete a commission
What do you have right now?
Every brief is a list of requirements. Which page helps depends on whether you are holding the brief, a finished dress, or a dress the game refused.
Find something
What are you looking for?
The four catalogues are separate pages, and each one is searchable by name, category and requirement. If you already know the name, search instead of browsing.
Reach a style score
How far along are you?
A style score comes from the tags a finished dress carries, so the page you need depends on whether you are choosing a style or checking one you have made.
Something is locked
What do you already know?
An item opens at a starting state, a relationship level or a prestige level. Some rows in this build resolve to none of those, and the unlock pages say so rather than guessing.
- I know which itemLook it up by name and read the gate it sits behind.
- I do not understand the systemHow prestige, relationships and starting stock fit together.
- It should be availableWhen something you have already earned has not appeared.
- Show me everythingEvery unlock in the build, by shelf and by customer.
Improve the dress you are making
Which part is low?
A dress passes or fails on its weakest requirement, so the first job is naming the part that is short. If you are not sure which it is, start with the score breakdown.
- FitMeasurements, and the size the brief is actually asking for.
- GrainWhy the grain score falls and how to cut so it does not.
- Sewing accuracyWhat the finish score is measuring and what moves it.
- CostPrice the dress against the budget before you commit.
- Fabric useHow much a pattern takes, and where the waste goes.
- I do not know whichStart with how quality is scored, then come back.
Something is going wrong
What is the symptom?
Each of these has one page that names the cause and the fix, written for the moment it happens rather than for the system behind it.
- I cut the wrong pieceWhat can be salvaged and what has to be cut again.
- My grain quality is lowThe one placement rule behind most failed dresses.
- I cannot finish sewingWhen the back will not close, and what the game is waiting for.
- I cannot change the thread colourWhere the thread setting actually lives on screen.
- I ran out of fabricTracing the shortage back to the dress that caused it.
- Controls or camera troubleInput, zooming and rotating, from the platform you are on.
Learn how the game works
How much do you want to know?
The beginner path, the four parts a dress is built from, and the system guides that take each mechanic past the beginning.
- I am just startingThe first dress, in order, without the systems behind it.
- How a dress is put togetherThe parts, what a variant changes, and why pattern choice moves everything.
- Every guideThe whole library, grouped by what each page answers.
- What the game isPlatforms, versions, and what each release changed.
Still not sure?
Two pages cover everything this router does not.
Search the whole database
Type a name and search every shelf at once.
Browse the problem pages
One page per symptom, for the things that go wrong while playing.
What the Assistant does not do
It does not answer the question itself. Every route above ends on the page that owns that question — the solver owns briefs, the unlock database owns gates, the guides own mechanics — so there is one answer per question on this site rather than two that disagree.
Targets are checked at build time against the pages this build actually serves: a route the export cannot render is never offered here.
