How to raise Glamour
Four things decide it, and none of them is a formula you have to work out here.
Cut patterns that add it
A pattern declares Glamour as a trait of the cut, before any cloth is laid on it. The strongest are listed below with their weight.
Choose fabric that supports it
Cloth carries the style through the parts of the dress it covers, so the same fabric counts for more on a larger piece.
Place accessories that contribute
A bow, a button or a length of trim adds its own weight where it sits, and each further one on the same style counts for less than the last.
Check the whole dress
The score a brief reads belongs to the finished dress rather than to any one of its parts. Measure it once the dress is built.
What Glamour score do you need?
The quick values are the scores this build's briefs actually state for Glamour.
Patterns that add Glamour

What pulls Glamour down
Some pieces carry Glamour as a negative weight, so a dress built around them loses points instead of gaining them. These are the strongest of them.
- BurlapFabricGlamour -10
- Apron BodicePatternGlamour -10
- Apron SkirtPatternGlamour -10
- Ruffle Apron BodicePatternGlamour -10
- Upturned Yoked BodicePatternGlamour -10
- V Neck Yoked ShirtPatternGlamour -10
The figure is the weight the game gives that piece on its own. What a whole dress loses also depends on how much of the dress the piece covers.

Every source that carries Glamour is here, sorted by how hard it pushes. A piece that never appears can still belong in a Glamour dress — it just does not move the style on its own.
What affects Glamour?
Three things carry a style, and they do not carry it the same way.
Patterns
Some patterns add Glamour directly, as a trait of the cut itself.
Fabrics
A fabric contributes through the parts of the dress it covers, and through how much of each part it covers.
Accessories
Decorations add their weight where they are placed, and several on the same style count for less each time one is added.
Two numbers that are not the same
Source value
The Glamour figure printed on a pattern, a fabric or a decoration. It belongs to that piece and says how strongly the piece leans that way.
Final style score
What the finished dress reads once every part and every weighting is counted. Only a dress has one, which is why no piece on its own can promise a score.
A finished score is not those three added together. It depends on every pattern, fabric and accessory in the dress and on how much of the dress each one covers, which is why the number belongs to the finished garment rather than to any list on this page.

Glamour questions
How do I get Glamour in Dressmaker?
63 patterns, 203 fabrics and 61 decorations carry Glamour. Any of them counts toward it, and the finished score belongs to the dress rather than to one piece.
Which patterns give Glamour?
63 patterns carry Glamour. The strongest is Black Widow Bodice, which counts 25 of it.
Which fabrics carry Glamour?
203 fabrics carry Glamour. Heron Migration Printed Cotton is the strongest, at 50.
Which decorations carry Glamour?
Chessboard Embellished Trim is the strongest of the 61 decorations carrying Glamour, at 5.
How do I reach Glamour 50?
Set the goal to 50 in the style calculator and it searches for dresses that reach it, naming the piece behind every point.
Why did a second decoration give less Glamour than the first?
Because the game scales repeated pushes at one style down. The first decoration adds its full weight, the second adds a fraction of its own, and each one after that a fraction of the fraction.
Can an item lower Glamour?
Yes. 6 pieces count Glamour below zero, and Burlap does it hardest at -10. On a dress they take those points away rather than adding them.
Does a fabric always give the same Glamour score?
No. Cloth counts through the parts of the dress it covers and through how much of each part it covers, so one fabric moves Glamour by different amounts in two different dresses.
