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 80 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

Why This Works

The declared weight behind each style this brief scores, so you can see which piece is carrying it.

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.

Eclectic is still too low

Your dress needs Eclectic 60. Look at the pattern and the fabric first: those two carry most of a style score, and accessories add on top of them.

Eclectic

Patterned is still too low

Your dress needs Patterned 30. Look at the pattern and the fabric first: those two carry most of a style score, and accessories add on top of them.

Patterned

Not enough variety

This brief counts distinct kinds, not amounts. Swap one piece for a different type instead of adding more of the same one.

Different fabrics

Tassel count is wrong

This brief asks for 5 Tassel. Check that each placed accessory matches the required accessory type, and that all of them were placed on the dress.

Quality is below 80

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.

Tips for This Commission

The things this particular brief makes easy to get wrong.

  1. Prioritise Eclectic

    Patterns and fabrics carry the most Eclectic weight, so settle those two before adding accessories for the last few points towards 60.

    See the best Eclectic items
  2. Prioritise Patterned

    Patterns and fabrics carry the most Patterned weight, so settle those two before adding accessories for the last few points towards 30.

    See the best Patterned items
  3. Vary the kinds you use

    This brief counts distinct kinds rather than quantities. Adding another piece of something you already used will not move it.

  4. Count Tassel carefully

    The brief needs 5 Tassel, and only accessories of the matching type count. Add them one at a time and check the count after each.

    Find Tassel for this brief
  5. Leave room for the finish

    This brief needs Quality 80. A dress that only just clears the design requirements leaves you no slack on the machine, so aim a little higher on style.

    How Quality is judged

Questions about this commission

Does Precious Pigeon have only one solution?

This brief currently has no validated dress in the build data. The requirements above are still exact, but there is no recipe to copy.

What does the brief actually require?

This one scores Eclectic ≥ 60, Patterned ≥ 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 80. 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 21, Works from Prestige 13, Works from Prestige 3. 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 Dorothy. Completing this one may raise their relationship level, which is what unlocks the patterns you will want for it.
