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

Fabric and colour composition

This brief measures part of the dress by area, so here is what the recommended dress is actually made of.

The rule
Silk
Reached
This dress passes the rule, but the build publishes no measured percentage for it.

Measured areas

Shares are the recipe's own measured fabric areas. A fabric that carries two colours counts towards both, so the rows are areas rather than a colour-by-colour percentage.

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

Elaborate

Romantic is still too low

Your dress needs Romantic 50. Look at the pattern and the fabric first: those two carry most of a style score, and accessories add on top of them.

Romantic

Eveningwear is still too low

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

Eveningwear

Something in the dress is not allowed

This brief limits which Silk may appear at all. One forbidden colour or fabric is enough to fail the whole dress, so check every piece you placed.

Silk

Check my 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.

Quality

Work out my Quality score

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 Elaborate

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

    See the best Elaborate items
  2. Prioritise Romantic

    Patterns and fabrics carry the most Romantic weight, so settle those two before adding accessories for the last few points towards 50.

    See the best Romantic items
  3. Prioritise Eveningwear

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

    See the best Eveningwear items
  4. Nothing forbidden anywhere

    This brief forbids certain Silk entirely. A single forbidden piece fails the dress, so go through the shopping list before you sew.

  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 Spring Fete have only one solution?

No. The game data yields 6 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 ≥ 30, Romantic ≥ 50, Eveningwear ≥ 60. 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 does have a fabric rule: Silk. Any cloth of the right kind can work as long as the measured areas still satisfy it.

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 3, Requires Adora Relationship 1. Anything else on the list is available from the start.

What comes after this commission?

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