Style weights are the game's own contribution numbers, so picking a style also sorts by it.

Only fabrics a player can actually obtain are in this database.

28 of 352 fabrics

Style values are the tags a fabric contributes to a dress. Whether the dress then reaches a score a brief asks for also depends on its pattern, trims and accessories.

All fabrics

Showing fabrics 1–28 of 28.

Browse by material

Every material type this build publishes, with the number of obtainable fabrics behind it.

These are the types the game data actually uses, not the handful of materials the store page happens to list. A type with one fabric is still a type.

Browse by colour

Colours as the game classifies them, because a commission that asks for 50% pink is checked against this list and not against what the swatch looks like to you.

A fabric can carry more than one colour, so these counts overlap and do not add up to the catalogue.

Browse by style

Style weights a fabric contributes to a dress, strongest first. This is a tendency, not a promise.

A fabric nudges the score; the final Style also depends on the patterns, trims and accessories in the dress.

Fabric contributes to a Style Score, but the score a brief checks also counts patterns, trims and accessories. How Style Scores Work →

Fabric unlocks and availability

Three states a fabric can be in, and the finder only ever lists the first two.

  • Available from the start

    156 fabrics

    In the catalogue from the beginning, at a real price, with no gate in front of it.

  • Unlocked at a prestige level

    196 fabrics

    The fabric appears in the shop once the player reaches the level the data records for it.

  • Not normally obtainable

    Developer and unreleased rows. The export gates them at a negative level, which is not a level anyone can reach, so they are excluded from browsing and from the counts above.

Fabrics by prestige

The shelf each fabric sits on, from the ones you start with to the endgame cloth. Bands rather than levels, because “what unlocks at 20” is a shelf and not a number.

Each rung filters the catalogue above. The full ladder, across fabrics and accessories, lives in the unlock database.

Materials in commission requirements

Briefs often ask for a material as a share of the dress — Silk ≥ 50%, Velvet ≥ 50%, Sequin ≥ 50%. These are the materials that appear in a requirement, with how many briefs ask for each and how many fabrics can supply it.

A material requirement is measured over the whole dress, so the cloth carrying it has to be used on a large enough part.

A brief that requires Silk requires silk in the dress, not one named fabric. Any silk cloth that lifts the dress’s silk share over the threshold satisfies it.

The systems behind this page

This page applies four rules without teaching them. These are the pages that own them.

How fabric affects a dress

A fabric carries a material, one or more colours, a set of style weights and a price. Its style contribution also depends on which part of the dress it is cut for: a dress divides one fixed amount of cloth influence between its parts, so the same silk moves a style score much further on a skirt than on a collar. Panel size does not change that share — the part does.

Choosing comes down to five facts. The material decides whether a brief accepts the dress at all, and the colour is checked the same way. The style values say how far the cloth pushes the dress toward a look. The price is paid once, at the shop. And the unlock level decides whether the fabric is on the shelf yet — a locked fabric at the right price is still not one you can use.

Every fabric here is one a player can obtain. The game build also ships developer and unreleased rows that carry no price, no artwork and a prestige level of -1; they are excluded from this page and from every count on it, which is why the catalogue reads 352 rather than a larger number.

Style weights are the game's own contribution numbers, and they can be negative: a burlap that detracts from Formal carries Formal at -10. The card shows the two strongest contributions either way, and the fabric's own page shows the whole profile.

How a part’s share becomes a final score is the style guide’s subject. How Style Scores Work →

Dressmaker fabric questions

  • How many fabrics are in Dressmaker?

    352 obtainable fabrics. 156 are available from the start and 196 sit behind a prestige level. Developer and unreleased entries are not part of that number.

  • How do I find a fabric for a specific style?

    Pick the style under Style in the filters. The grid then sorts by that style's score, highest first, and the minimum-score row lets you cut everything below a threshold — 50+ leaves only the fabrics the game counts as strong contributors.

  • What do the style numbers on a fabric card mean?

    They are the weights the game applies to a dress for using that fabric. A higher number raises the dress's score for that style; a negative one lowers it. Two fabrics with the same weight are worth the same to the dress, and cost is then the only difference.

  • Can I filter by cost?

    Yes. The quick chips step through the real price points in the catalogue — not round marketing bands — and the low and high boxes take any range. Prices run from 0 to 80.

  • Why are some fabrics missing from this list?

    Because they are not obtainable. The export marks 212 rows as hidden developer or unreleased content, with a prestige unlock level of -1. They carry no price and no swatch, and listing them would answer “can I use this?” with things no player can use.

  • How do I find an alternative to a fabric I cannot use?

    Open Find an Alternative, name the fabric and say why you are replacing it. The list keeps whichever of material, colour and style the reason asks it to keep, and every result prints what it gives up — more coins, a later unlock, a weaker contribution to the style you wanted.

  • Does a more expensive fabric make a better dress?

    No. Cost buys the cloth, not the score. Quality and Style come from the pattern, the cut, the trims and how the dress is assembled, so a cheap fabric with strong contributions can beat an expensive one that moves nothing.

  • How do I know when a fabric unlocks?

    Fabric unlocks are prestige levels. Each card prints the level its fabric needs, and once you enter your own level in the unlock finder every gated fabric is labelled with how many levels away it is.

  • What fabric materials are in Dressmaker?

    Silk, cotton, velvet, wool, linen, sequin, lace and burlap, plus the colours and styles each fabric carries. Material is what a commission requirement checks, and colour is checked the same way.

  • Does the same fabric give the same style score on every dress part?

    No. A dress divides one fixed amount of cloth influence between its parts — the bodice and skirt hold most of it, the sleeve and collar the least — so the same silk moves a style score much further on a skirt than on a collar. Panel size does not change that share; the part does.

About the fabric data

Three fabric numbers get quoted about this game, and they disagree for three good reasons. Here is which is which.

Official game scale
450+ fabrics
Fabric records in our snapshot
564 rows
Normally obtainable, listed here
352 fabrics

The store description promises over 450 fabrics in the full release. That is the size of the game, not the size of our snapshot, and the two are not the same measurement.

Our extracted build holds 564 fabric rows. 212 of those are developer or unreleased rows with no price and no shop placement, which is why this page lists 352 and not 564.

Names come from the game’s own localization. Swatches are the real extracted assets, down to the Unity material colour where a fabric has no texture map. Types, colours, prices and style weights are read from game data. Unlock levels come from progression metadata.
