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

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.

Why isn't my dress passing?

The reasons this particular brief turns a dress down, written for the requirements it actually contains.

Gothic is still too low

Your dress needs Gothic 50. Look at the pattern and the fabric first: those two carry most of a style score, and accessories add on top of them.

Quality is below 80

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.

The 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.

Tips for This Commission

The things this particular brief makes easy to get wrong.

  1. Prioritise Gothic

    Patterns and fabrics carry the most Gothic weight, so settle those two before adding accessories for the last few points towards 50.

  2. Prioritise Glamour

    Patterns and fabrics carry the most Glamour weight, so settle those two before adding accessories for the last few points towards 50.

    See the best Glamour items
  3. Prioritise Eveningwear

    Patterns and fabrics carry the most Eveningwear weight, so settle those two before adding accessories for the last few points towards 50.

    See the best Eveningwear items
  4. 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.

  5. Stay under the budget

    The customer sets a budget of 750. Substituting cheaper cloth of the same colour and fabric type is usually the easiest place to save.

Questions about this commission

Does New Aesthetic 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 Gothic ≥ 50, Glamour ≥ 50, Eveningwear ≥ 50. 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 14, Works from Prestige 4. Anything else on the list is available from the start.

What comes after this commission?

The next commission for this customer is Fainting Dress. Completing this one may raise their relationship level, which is what unlocks the patterns you will want for it.
