Dressmaker Valuation Sheet
Calculate a Dress Sale Price
One dress, one bill, one number: what the game will actually pay for it. Enter the material cost, the quality and the prestige level, and the sheet shows the base value, both bonuses and the sale price they produce — then prices the same dress at higher quality or higher prestige so you can see which step is worth taking first.

Inputs
The bill for this dress
Materials and labour are what the two bonuses act on. Quality and prestige are the two figures the game's sale screen adds on top.
Where the dress comes from
- Load from BuilderBuild the dress in the workbench and press Calculate Sale Price there — the whole garment comes with you.
- From material costArrive with a material cost from another tool, or from a figure you already know.
- Enter it manuallyType the material cost, the quality and the prestige level and skip the builder entirely.
No dress is loaded — this is a sheet with numbers typed into it, and it prices whatever you describe.
The game charges labour for every panel joined and every decoration placed. That rate is not in this build's data, so enter the figure your own sale screen shows — the sheet will not print a price without it.
Each level adds one percent to the sale price.

What this dress sells for
Waiting for labour
The page will not print a sale price from a labour figure it does not have. Enter the labour the garment took, or load a dress that carries one, and the total appears.
The game settles its payment in whole coins, so this is the figure rounded the way the game rounds it — not an estimate of it.

What each bonus is worth on this dress

The game settles its money at each step rather than at the end, so each bonus is rounded to whole coins before the next one is applied. That is why the rows are multiplied in this order.
Quality Input / Breakdown
What your Quality score is made of
Quality is scored while the garment is cut and sewn, and the weights are not fixed: they change depending on whether the dress was made to the customer's measurements.
Quality = 0.40 × Grain + 0.60 × Sewing Accuracy
- Grain40%8032
- Sewing Accuracy60%8048
This is the figure the quality bonus above is multiplied from.
Sewing accuracy is currently the largest weighted part of your Quality calculation, at 60%.
Prestige Impact
What prestige does to the price
Prestige does not change the dress, it changes what the game pays for it. Here is the same dress at the levels either side of your own.
Prestige Bonus (%)
×1.00
The prestige ladder in this build runs to level 51. Levels this dress cannot reach on your save are still priced, so you can see what they would be worth.

Move either value without touching the dress and watch what the price does.
Quality 80 → 88
No price yet, so there is nothing to explain.
Prestige 0 → 8

Sale Price vs Material Cost
What the dress brings in against what it cost
The two numbers a dress is usually judged by, side by side.
- Materials
- 0
- Sell Price
- Not known
- Sale price minus material cost
- Not known
Two figures only: what this dress sells for, and what its cloth and trim cost. Labour is not part of the material cost, and the game may pay more than the sale price for other reasons, so this is a comparison rather than a profit.
Improve This Dress
Where to take this dress next
Ways to move this number, and one of them is to stop spending.
- Improve QualitySee which of the three inputs is holding Quality 80 where it is.
- Compare Quality LevelsPrice this dress at Quality 88 instead of 80.
- Compare Prestige LevelsPrice this dress at prestige 8 instead of where it is now.
- Reduce Material CostThe cloth and trim behind 0 are on the fabric pages.
- Edit DressChange a piece in the Dress Builder and bring the result back here.
How to raise grain placement, fit or sewing accuracy is a question about cutting and sewing rather than about price, and those guides are not on this site yet.
How it works
The game's four rows, in the game's order
The sheet does not estimate. It runs the four rows the game runs, in the order the game runs them, and shows you each of them.
- 1The base value comes firstMaterials and labour are added first, because the dress has to exist before it can be worth anything. Everything below acts on that sum, not on the material cost alone.
- 2Quality is a straight curveQuality 0 is half value and Quality 100 is one and a half times it, in a straight line. The bonus row prints the multiplier and the percentage the game itself shows, so the two can be checked against each other.
- 3Prestige multiplies the resultPrestige multiplies what quality left behind rather than the base value, and each level adds one percent. It raises the ceiling on an expensive dress far more than on a cheap one, which is why the ladder is priced on your own dress.
- 4Rounding happens at every stepThe game settles its money in whole coins at each step, so the sheet rounds at each step too. Multiplying both bonuses in one go lands a coin away from the screen often enough to be worth doing properly.
Questions
Sale price questions
How is a Dressmaker dress's sale price calculated?
The game's sale screen multiplies a base value by two bonuses. The base value is the material cost plus the labour the garment took; the first bonus comes from the Quality figure and the second from your prestige level. This page runs the same chain with the same rounding, so the total it prints is the total you will be offered.
Do I need to build a dress for this calculator?
Yes, and this page works without one. Type the material cost, the quality and the prestige level and you get the same breakdown. Loading a dress from the Dress Builder only saves you retyping its cloth and trim — it does not unlock anything the manual entry cannot do.
How is the Quality score worked out?
Quality is scored from grain placement, fit and sewing accuracy. With customer measurements the game weights them 30%, 20% and 50%; without measurements Fit is dropped and the other two become 40% and 60%. Enter the three inputs and the page computes the score instead of asking you to guess it.
Why does this page ask me for labour?
The game charges labour for every panel joined and every decoration placed. The rate sits behind the game's own sale-price call, and this build's data publishes the shape of that call rather than its number. So labour is a field you fill in: the page refuses to print a price with a guessed labour rather than quietly pricing it as zero.
Is Quality or Prestige better for the sale price?
Each level of prestige adds one percent to the sale price, and the quality bonus scales with the Quality score. Which of the two is worth more depends on where this dress already is: on a dress with low quality, ten points of quality usually moves the price further, and on a dress with high quality the same step in prestige often does. The what-if block does the arithmetic on your own numbers rather than giving a general answer.
Why does prestige help an expensive dress more?
Because the prestige bonus is a percentage rather than a flat sum. One level of prestige is worth one percent of whatever the dress already sells for, so on an expensive dress each level is worth more coins than the same level on a cheap one. The ladder above prices your own dress at the levels around it, so the difference is visible rather than general.

Notes
A Dressmaker dress sells for its material cost plus the labour it took, multiplied by a quality bonus and then by a prestige bonus. The bonuses are the part that surprises people: Quality 50 is a straight 1.00× and leaves the base value alone, while Quality 80 raises it by 30% and Quality 100 by 50%. Prestige adds one percent per level on top of that, so the same dress is worth noticeably more at prestige 20 than at prestige 5. Because the game settles its money in whole coins at each step, a sale price is not the same as multiplying both percentages together at the end.
The other half of the number is the quality score itself. It comes from grain placement, fit and sewing accuracy, weighted 30/20/50 when the dress was cut to a customer's measurements and 40/60 when it was not, because fit cannot be scored if nobody was measured. That is why two dresses with identical cloth and trim can sell for different amounts, and why the quality breakdown on this page separates the three inputs rather than showing one figure. A sale price calculator is only useful if it can tell you which of them to work on next, so the what-if block prices your own dress at a higher quality and at a higher prestige level and reports both moves in coins.
