Quality is scored while you sew
A quality threshold is not something a recipe can prove. The dress below settles every design requirement; this number is decided by your hands on the machine.
Need 75 or more
What decides the final number
- Grain — cutting the fabric on the correct line
- Fit — how closely the garment follows the body
- Sewing accuracy — how cleanly the seams are run

Fabric and colour composition
This brief measures part of the dress by area, so here is what the recommended dress is actually made of.
- The rule
- Black
- Reached
- This dress passes the rule, but the build publishes no measured percentage for it.
Measured areas
- Black
100% of the dress
Shares are the recipe's own measured fabric areas. A fabric that carries two colours counts towards both, so the rows are areas rather than a colour-by-colour percentage.
These are the weights the game declares for each piece. They explain the dress; the build does not publish how several sources are folded into the final style score, so nothing here is added up into a total.

Set my progressWhy isn't my dress passing?
The reasons this particular brief turns a dress down, written for the requirements it actually contains.
Formal is still too low
Your dress needs Formal 50. Look at the pattern and the fabric first: those two carry most of a style score, and accessories add on top of them.
Formal

Your dress needs Gothic 40. Look at the pattern and the fabric first: those two carry most of a style score, and accessories add on top of them.
Gothic
See the best Gothic itemsSomething in the dress is not allowed
This brief limits which Black may appear at all. One forbidden colour or fabric is enough to fail the whole dress, so check every piece you placed.
Black
Check my dressQuality is below 75
Quality is not decided by what you chose, but by how the dress was made. Check the grain line, the fit and how cleanly the seams were sewn.

A dress can match every design requirement and still miss the quality threshold. Re-cut it with an eye on grain and fit before changing the recipe.

Estimate the quality of a dressTips for This Commission
The things this particular brief makes easy to get wrong.
Prioritise Formal
Patterns and fabrics carry the most Formal weight, so settle those two before adding accessories for the last few points towards 50.
See the best Formal itemsPrioritise Gothic
Patterns and fabrics carry the most Gothic weight, so settle those two before adding accessories for the last few points towards 40.
See the best Gothic itemsNothing forbidden anywhere
This brief forbids certain Black entirely. A single forbidden piece fails the dress, so go through the shopping list before you sew.
Leave room for the finish
This brief needs Quality 75. A dress that only just clears the design requirements leaves you no slack on the machine, so aim a little higher on style.
How Quality is judgedStay under the budget
The customer sets a budget of 300. Substituting cheaper cloth of the same colour and fabric type is usually the easiest place to save.

Questions about this commission
Does Fierce Funeral have only one solution?
No. The game data yields 6 validated dresses for this brief. This page publishes the recommended one and the reason it passes; the solver is where you walk through the others.
What does the brief actually require?
This one scores Formal ≥ 50, Gothic ≥ 40. Fabric, colour, accessory and craft rules, where present, are listed on the brief card at the top of the page.
What Quality do I need?
The brief asks for Quality 75. That number comes from how the dress is cut and sewn, not from the recipe, so no outfit can guarantee it for you.
Can I use another fabric?
This brief does have a fabric rule: Black. Any cloth of the right kind can work as long as the measured areas still satisfy it.
Why doesn't my dress pass?
Work through the requirements one by one: a dress fails on the first rule it misses. Style and composition rules are decided by what you chose, Quality by how you sewed it, so the fix is different for each.
Which unlocks does this dress need?
The recommended dress leans on: Requires Edith Relationship 1. Anything else on the list is available from the start.
What comes after this commission?
The next commission for this customer is Sewn in the Stars. Completing this one may raise their relationship level, which is what unlocks the patterns you will want for it.
