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 77 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

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.

Risqué is still too low
Your dress needs Risqué 20. Look at the pattern and the fabric first: those two carry most of a style score, and accessories add on top of them.

The rule counts area. You need 50 of the dress cut from Velvet, so a trim or a lining will not be enough on its own.
Velvet

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 scoreThe 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.

Questions about this commission
Does Nocturnal Glamour have only one solution?
No. The game data yields 5 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 Risqué ≥ 20, Gothic ≥ 40, Glamour ≥ 30. 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 77. 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 does have a fabric rule: Velvet ≥ 50%. Any cloth of the right kind can work as long as the measured areas still satisfy it.
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 40, Works from Prestige 4, Works from Prestige 2. Anything else on the list is available from the start.
What comes after this commission?
The next commission for this customer is Dark Emissary. Completing this one may raise their relationship level, which is what unlocks the patterns you will want for it.
