Quality is scored while you sew

A quality threshold is not something a recipe can prove. The dress below settles every design requirement; this number is decided by your hands on the machine.

Need 80 or more

What decides the final number

  • Grain — cutting the fabric on the correct line
  • Fit — how closely the garment follows the body
  • Sewing accuracy — how cleanly the seams are run

Fabric and colour composition

This brief measures part of the dress by area, so here is what the recommended dress is actually made of.

The rule
Blue ≥ 50%
Reached
50% / 50%

Measured areas

Shares are the recipe's own measured fabric areas. A fabric that carries two colours counts towards both, so the rows are areas rather than a colour-by-colour percentage.

These are the weights the game declares for each piece. They explain the dress; the build does not publish how several sources are folded into the final style score, so nothing here is added up into a total.

Why isn't my dress passing?

The reasons this particular brief turns a dress down, written for the requirements it actually contains.

Romantic is still too low

Your dress needs Romantic 50. Look at the pattern and the fabric first: those two carry most of a style score, and accessories add on top of them.

Romantic

Elegant is still too low

Your dress needs Elegant 50. Look at the pattern and the fabric first: those two carry most of a style score, and accessories add on top of them.

Elegant

Flowers is still too low

Your dress needs Flowers 50. Look at the pattern and the fabric first: those two carry most of a style score, and accessories add on top of them.

Flowers

Blue is not registering

This brief measures area, not pieces: at least 50 of the dress has to be Blue. Adding one small item in that colour rarely moves the number.

Flower count is wrong

This brief asks for 2 Flower. Check that each placed accessory matches the required accessory type, and that all of them were placed on the dress.

Quality is below 80

Quality is not decided by what you chose, but by how the dress was made. Check the grain line, the fit and how cleanly the seams were sewn.

Work out my Quality score

The dress is right, the finish is not

A dress can match every design requirement and still miss the quality threshold. Re-cut it with an eye on grain and fit before changing the recipe.

    See the best Flowers items
  4. Think in area, not in pieces

    The brief measures Blue by area, asking for 50 of the dress. The largest panels of the garment move this number; small trims barely do.

    Browse commissions asking for Blue
  5. Count Flower carefully

    The brief needs 2 Flower, and only accessories of the matching type count. Add them one at a time and check the count after each.

Questions about this commission

Does A gift for Priya have only one solution?

No. The game data yields 2 validated dresses for this brief. This page publishes the recommended one and the reason it passes; the solver is where you walk through the others.

What does the brief actually require?

This one scores Romantic ≥ 50, Elegant ≥ 50, Flowers ≥ 50. Fabric, colour, accessory and craft rules, where present, are listed on the brief card at the top of the page.

What Quality do I need?

The brief asks for Quality 80. That number comes from how the dress is cut and sewn, not from the recipe, so no outfit can guarantee it for you.

Can I use another fabric?

This brief sets no fabric rule, so any cloth is allowed. Colour, style weight and cost are the only things to weigh up.

Why doesn't my dress pass?

Work through the requirements one by one: a dress fails on the first rule it misses. Style and composition rules are decided by what you chose, Quality by how you sewed it, so the fix is different for each.

Which unlocks does this dress need?

The recommended dress leans on: Works from Prestige 44, Works from Prestige 34, Requires Fiona Relationship 3, Requires Prudence Relationship 1. Anything else on the list is available from the start.

What comes after this commission?

The next commission for this customer is Artistic Retreat. Completing this one may raise their relationship level, which is what unlocks the patterns you will want for it.
