The export's own estimate. The game data records no unit for it, which is why the band and the percentile beside it are the parts to compare.
- Panels
- 13 panels
- Grain directions
- Straight grain
- Grain is read from the direction each panel is laid in the export. Bias cut is the game's own per-panel flag rather than a reading of that vector, and where the two disagree this page shows both as published.

Why is this still locked?Where this pattern helps
What Dirndl contributes, and the dresses the game itself validates with it.
Styles it brings
Validated dresses cut from it
No validated dress in this build is cut from Dirndl. Rather than list the briefs that would merely allow it, here are the briefs that ask for the styles it raises.
Briefs that ask for these styles
The commission board indexes the styles Dirndl raises, so each of these opens on the briefs asking for one of them.
Check what a dress costs and whether it passes, before you cut into anything.
