How to raise Daywear
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 Daywear 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 Daywear score do you need?
The quick values are the scores this build's briefs actually state for Daywear.
Patterns that add Daywear

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

- Ruffle SkirtPatternDaywear -10
- Twilight Hour SkirtPatternDaywear -10
- Bow Ballgown SkirtPatternDaywear -5

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.

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

Daywear questions
How do I get Daywear in Dressmaker?
121 patterns, 113 fabrics and 61 decorations carry Daywear. Any of them counts toward it, and the finished score belongs to the dress rather than to one piece.
Which patterns give Daywear?
121 patterns carry Daywear. The strongest is Elevated Ruffled Square Bodice, which counts 20 of it.
Which fabrics carry Daywear?
113 fabrics carry Daywear. Amethyst Cotton is the strongest, at 50.
Which decorations carry Daywear?
Abalone Saucer Button is the strongest of the 61 decorations carrying Daywear, at 3.
How do I reach Daywear 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 Daywear 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 Daywear?
Yes. 6 pieces count Daywear 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 Daywear 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 Daywear by different amounts in two different dresses.
