Is there only one correct dress for a commission?

No. Different combinations can satisfy the same requirement set, which is why published walkthroughs are a starting point rather than a single answer. The solver keeps every dress the search validated and lists them under Other dresses that work.

Why does my quality score differ from the one shown here?

Quality is scored while you cut and sew, not when you choose the pattern. The solver covers the design requirements: style, fabric, colour, trim, accessories and budget. Your final quality depends on grain alignment, rotation, how accurately you fit the mannequin, and how cleanly the seams land.

Can I solve a commission with only unlocked items?

Usually yes. Switch to Use My Unlocks, enter your Prestige level and your relationship level with each client, and the solver only considers dresses you can make right now. If nothing qualifies it names the single unlock you are missing and where it comes from.

What does "Cheapest Found" mean?

It means the cheapest validated dress in the dataset, not a mathematical minimum. The search explores the game's item combinations within a budget, so a cheaper dress may exist that it never reached. The label stays honest about that.

Why can't the solver guarantee the quality requirement?

Because quality is a crafting outcome. The solver can prove the design passes, and it tells you exactly what the brief asks for, but only your cutting, fitting and sewing decide the final number.

Why does one commission show no dress at all?

One brief in this build asks for an item that no normally obtainable item can match. Rather than invent a dress, the solver publishes the brief and the exact requirement it could not satisfy.

How the Dressmaker Commission Solver works

A Dressmaker commission is a set of requirements: style scores, fabric composition, colour percentages, trim lengths, accessory counts, a quality threshold and a budget. The solver stores validated dress recipes that satisfy a requirement set, alongside the exact score each recipe reaches for every requirement, so you can see the margin instead of trusting a claim.

Recipes are found by a bounded search over the game's own items, not by one hand-written walkthrough. That is why the cheapest dress is labelled "Cheapest Found": it is the cheapest the search actually validated, not a proof that nothing cheaper exists. Unlock requirements are read from the same data, so the lowest-prestige and relationship-based routes come from the game rather than from guesswork.
