How to raise Casual
Four things decide it, and none of them is a formula you have to work out here.
Cut patterns that add it
A pattern declares Casual as a trait of the cut, before any cloth is laid on it. The strongest are listed below with their weight.
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.
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.
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 Casual score do you need?
No brief in this build states a Casual score, so there is no value to suggest. Enter a target of your own if you want one.
Patterns that add Casual

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

- Desert Dawn Gradient SequinsFabricCasual -25
- Galaxy Gradient SequinsFabricCasual -25
- Gold SequinsFabricCasual -25
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.

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

Every source that carries Casual is here, sorted by how hard it pushes. A piece that never appears can still belong in a Casual dress — it just does not move the style on its own.
What affects Casual?
Three things carry a style, and they do not carry it the same way.
Patterns
Some patterns add Casual 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 Casual 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.

Casual questions
How do I get Casual in Dressmaker?
95 patterns, 109 fabrics and 3 decorations carry Casual. Any of them counts toward it, and the finished score belongs to the dress rather than to one piece.
Which patterns give Casual?
95 patterns carry Casual. The strongest is Wrap Bodice, which counts 20 of it.
Which fabrics carry Casual?
109 fabrics carry Casual. Amethyst Cotton is the strongest, at 50.
Which decorations carry Casual?
Gold Tassel Trim is the strongest of the 3 decorations carrying Casual, at 5.
How do I reach a Casual target?
No commission asks for a Casual score, so the game itself is not asking for a number. Aim at whatever your dress needs and measure it in the style calculator.
Why did a second decoration give less Casual 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 Casual?
Yes. 6 pieces count Casual below zero, and Artemis Gradient Sequins does it hardest at -25. On a dress they take those points away rather than adding them.
Does a fabric always give the same Casual 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 Casual by different amounts in two different dresses.
