What affects a dress style?
Three things carry a style, and they do not carry it in the same way.
Patterns
A cut brings style traits of its own, before any cloth is laid on it.
Browse patternsFabrics
Cloth contributes through the parts of the dress it covers, so the same fabric counts for more on a larger piece.
Browse fabricsAccessories
A bow, a button or a length of trim adds to whatever is already there, at the point it is placed.
Browse accessories
A finished score is not these three added together. It depends on the patterns, fabrics and accessories used across the whole dress, and accessories carrying the same style count for less each time one is added.

Style tags and style scores are not the same thing
One is a trait an item carries. The other is the number a finished dress reaches.
Style tag
Elegant
A trait a pattern, a fabric or an accessory carries. Every contributor count on this page is a count of tag values.
Style score
Elegant 52
The number the finished dress reaches. It depends on everything used and where it is placed, never on one item alone.
