Dressmaker Updates & Patch Notes

A small patch focused on UX improvements, plus one new interaction in the sewing scene and a tutorial fix.

• AddedThread colour can now be changed in the sewing scene, by clicking the spools.

  How to change thread colour

  Cutting guide

• ChangedHovering a panel in the inventory now shows a hint for where it goes on the mannequin.

  Assembly guide

• FixedFixed a softlock in the tutorial when clicking the sketchbook before ringing the bell.

  Getting started

Build 410 changed interactions, not calculations. No published note in it touches a formula, a requirement or a data table this site is built from, so no calculator needed revalidating.

This list is a statement about what the notes describe, which is the only thing checkable from outside the game. A build id that differs from our snapshot is a difference, not a defect — the notes remain the evidence.

The first patch after launch: launch-day bugs across cutting, the store tutorial, commissions and the shop interface.

• FixedSome lace trim accessories were not tagged as lace trim. Fixed.

  Snapshot

• FixedFailed commissions were not paying out. Fixed — if a character accepts a commission you are paid.

• FixedFixed the mouse cursor sometimes going invisible in the cutting room tutorial and not coming back.

• FixedThe back button is now enabled during the store tutorial.

• ChangedThe bell must now be rung to summon the next customer.

• FixedFixed the single keyhole bodice.

• FixedFixed shop buttons not responding at extremely wide aspect ratios.

Because SteamDB lists builds on branches other than the public one.

The newer build sits on Steam's publicbeta branch, which the developer-facing tools describe as experimental and untested changes. The live public branch is the older number, and that is the one a player installs. Build ids increase over time, so a higher number from a branch can easily look like a newer release to anyone reading a list of numbers without the channel next to them.

• Official patch notesNot published

No published note through Build 410 describes a change to a formula or a data table.

This is the question a calculator page lives or dies by, so it is answered per system rather than in one sentence. Six systems have no published change at all. Three have something the notes actually name, and each says which build named it.

“No confirmed change” means the patch notes never mention it — not that the code is proven identical. Formula changes are usually not announced at all, which is why this page leans on the fact that these notes did not mention them, and says so plainly rather than claiming a clean bill of health.

Commission payment and commission requirements are deliberately separate rows. Build 403 fixed payout for accepted commissions; it said nothing about what a commission asks you to make, and reading one as the other would be the easy mistake here.

Our extracted game data comes from Steam build 25482629. The current public build is 25508059, which is Build 410.

The snapshot is taken by extracting the game's own data files, so it can only change when someone re-extracts them. Between extractions the game keeps shipping, and that gap is normal rather than broken — what matters is which side of it each page's numbers come from.

Both patches were reviewed against the systems this site uses. Neither published note touches a formula, a requirement or a table in the export, so nothing here has needed revalidating on the strength of them.

Six items are announced and undated. The first two were described as small updates arriving in the weeks after launch; the rest are described as further off.

Nothing here is a next-patch list. An announced feature and a scheduled one are different things, and the developers have dated none of these — so this section will keep saying “planned” until one of them ships.
