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 90 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.

Elaborate is still too low

Your dress needs Elaborate 75. Look at the pattern and the fabric first: those two carry most of a style score, and accessories add on top of them.

Jewel count is wrong

Quality is below 90

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.

Questions about this commission

Does Another Encore have only one solution?

No. The game data yields 3 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 Elaborate ≥ 75, Risqué ≥ 50, Glamour ≥ 50, Gothic ≥ 30. 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 90. 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, Requires Vivian Relationship 1, Requires Edith Relationship 1. Anything else on the list is available from the start.

What comes after this commission?

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

Where this commission fits

About Edith

9 commissions, relationship up to level 4.

Relationship

What Edith unlocks as you grow closer

A completed commission raises this relationship. Patterns arrive when the level itself goes up, not when a single commission is handed in.

Patterns waiting at each level

If finishing this commission raises the relationship to the next level, the patterns listed at that level unlock at the same time.
