Commissions where Houndstooth Red can help

Dresses the game itself validates with this fabric, and the requirement of each brief that the fabric answers.

No validated dress in this build is sewn from Houndstooth Red. Rather than list the briefs that would merely allow it, here is where its material, colours and styles are actually asked for.

Briefs that name what this fabric is

The commission board already indexes Houndstooth Red's material, colours and styles, so each of these opens on the briefs that ask for one of them.

Check what a dress costs and whether it passes, before you spend the fabric.
