How to raise Uncomfortable

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 Uncomfortable 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 Uncomfortable score do you need?

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

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

What affects Uncomfortable?

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

  • Patterns

    Some patterns add Uncomfortable 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 Uncomfortable 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.

Uncomfortable questions

  • How do I get Uncomfortable in Dressmaker?

    20 patterns, 1 fabrics and 0 decorations carry Uncomfortable. Any of them counts toward it, and the finished score belongs to the dress rather than to one piece.

  • Which patterns give Uncomfortable?

    20 patterns carry Uncomfortable. The strongest is Corset Bodice, which counts 15 of it.

  • Which fabrics carry Uncomfortable?

    1 fabrics carry Uncomfortable. Burlap is the strongest, at 50.

  • How do I reach Uncomfortable 25?

    Set the goal to 25 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 Uncomfortable 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.

  • Does a fabric always give the same Uncomfortable 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 Uncomfortable by different amounts in two different dresses.
