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 80 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

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.
Quality
Work out my Quality scoreThe dress is right, the finish is not
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.

This brief counts distinct kinds rather than quantities. Adding another piece of something you already used will not move it.
Leave room for the finish
This brief needs Quality 80. 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 judged
Questions about this commission
Does Marie's Wedding have only one solution?
This brief currently has no validated dress in the build data. The requirements above are still exact, but there is no recipe to copy.
What does the brief actually require?
This one scores Elaborate ≥ 50, Formal ≥ 50, Eclectic ≥ 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 80. 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 sets no fabric rule, so any cloth is allowed. Colour, style weight and cost are the only things to weigh up.
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: Works from Prestige 35, Works from Prestige 25, Works from Prestige 4, Requires Prudence Relationship 2, Requires Dorothy Relationship 1. Anything else on the list is available from the start.
What comes after this commission?
The next commission for this customer is Respectful Funeral. Completing this one may raise their relationship level, which is what unlocks the patterns you will want for it.
