How to raise Cute

Four things decide it, and none of them is a formula you have to work out here.

  1. Cut patterns that add it

    A pattern declares Cute as a trait of the cut, before any cloth is laid on it. The strongest are listed below with their weight.

  2. Choose fabric that supports it

    Cloth carries the style through the parts of the dress it covers, so the same fabric counts for more on a larger piece.

  3. Place accessories that contribute

    A bow, a button or a length of trim adds its own weight where it sits, and each further one on the same style counts for less than the last.

  4. Check the whole dress

    The score a brief reads belongs to the finished dress rather than to any one of its parts. Measure it once the dress is built.

What Cute score do you need?

The quick values are the scores this build's briefs actually state for Cute.

One brief asks for Cute to stay low instead of reaching a score. It is marked in the brief list below.

What pulls Cute down

Some pieces carry Cute as a negative weight, so a dress built around them loses points instead of gaining them. These are the strongest of them.

The figure is the weight the game gives that piece on its own. What a whole dress loses also depends on how much of the dress the piece covers.

Need a cheaper or earlier option?

The lists above show the strongest choices. These are the single cheapest and the single earliest in each catalogue, drawn from everything that carries Cute and not only from the six.

Lowest cost

A pattern costs no money, so the pattern here is the one that takes the least cloth.

Briefs that ask for Cute

Every published brief whose requirements state a Cute score, the hardest first.

One of these briefs pays for Cute to stay low rather than to reach a score. It is marked, and a higher score does not help it.

Price

A pattern costs cloth rather than coin, so a price ceiling applies to fabrics and decorations.

Enter your Prestige and every gate is checked against where your save actually is.

Every source that carries Cute is here, sorted by how hard it pushes. A piece that never appears can still belong in a Cute dress — it just does not move the style on its own.

What affects Cute?

Three things carry a style, and they do not carry it the same way.

  • Patterns

    Some patterns add Cute directly, as a trait of the cut itself.

  • Fabrics

    A fabric contributes through the parts of the dress it covers, and through how much of each part it covers.

  • Accessories

    Decorations add their weight where they are placed, and several on the same style count for less each time one is added.

Two numbers that are not the same

Source value

The Cute figure printed on a pattern, a fabric or a decoration. It belongs to that piece and says how strongly the piece leans that way.

Final style score

What the finished dress reads once every part and every weighting is counted. Only a dress has one, which is why no piece on its own can promise a score.

A finished score is not those three added together. It depends on every pattern, fabric and accessory in the dress and on how much of the dress each one covers, which is why the number belongs to the finished garment rather than to any list on this page.

Cute questions

  • How do I get Cute in Dressmaker?

    106 patterns, 170 fabrics and 181 decorations carry Cute. Any of them counts toward it, and the finished score belongs to the dress rather than to one piece.

  • Which patterns give Cute?

    106 patterns carry Cute. The strongest is Petal Bow Skirt, which counts 25 of it.

  • Which fabrics carry Cute?

    170 fabrics carry Cute. Aqua Blue Cotton is the strongest, at 50.

  • Which decorations carry Cute?

    Aqua Sunshine Lace is the strongest of the 181 decorations carrying Cute, at 5.

  • How do I reach Cute 50?

    Set the goal to 50 in the style calculator and it searches for dresses that reach it, naming the piece behind every point.

  • Why did a second decoration give less Cute than the first?

    Because the game scales repeated pushes at one style down. The first decoration adds its full weight, the second adds a fraction of its own, and each one after that a fraction of the fraction.

  • Can an item lower Cute?

    Yes. 5 pieces count Cute below zero, and Burlap does it hardest at -10. On a dress they take those points away rather than adding them.

  • Does a fabric always give the same Cute score?

    No. Cloth counts through the parts of the dress it covers and through how much of each part it covers, so one fabric moves Cute by different amounts in two different dresses.
