How to raise Professional
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 Professional 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 Professional score do you need?
The quick values are the scores this build's briefs actually state for Professional.

What affects Professional?
Three things carry a style, and they do not carry it the same way.
Patterns
Some patterns add Professional 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.
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.
