Friendship, pigeon requests, and pattern unlocks
Keep story commissions moving, answer pigeon requests when they appear, and gift spare dresses when a relationship star or pattern unlock matters more than the immediate sale value.
01 / Prerequisites
Check these before you start
- OKUnlock pigeon requests through the early Dorothy story route.
- OKKeep spare fabric or a finished off-the-rack dress for gifts.
- OKProtect enough gold for active commissions before spending on optional relationship work.
02 / Steps
Follow the workflow in order
- 01
Treat pigeon requests as relationship work
Community guides report that pigeon commissions grant friendship and can improve access to patterns for story progress.
- 02
Complete them before optional fashion projects
They do not appear to expire, but finishing them early keeps progression moving.
- 03
Gift with a surplus
A finished dress can be given as a gift when the material cost will not block a paid commission. Community records describe a personal style shown in the friendship screen; the gift is judged on those preferences plus quality.
- 04
Plan gifts like a mini commission
Read the customer’s personal style before designing the gift. A clean dress that targets the visible preferred tags is more useful than a random expensive dress with no relationship coverage.
- 05
Watch the star and pattern unlocks
Each relationship star can unlock more of that customer’s pattern pool. Check the sketchbook before spending gold on another generic pattern purchase.
- 06
Track the whole cast
The achievement list identifies major commission chains for Rose, Prudence, Priya, Marie, Edith, Fiona, Alice, Vivian, Dorothy, and Adora. Patterns are tied to each customer’s friendship progress.
03 / Common mistakes
Avoid wasted time and materials
Selling every finished dress and leaving nothing for gifts.
Ignoring pigeon requests until a later unlock is needed.
Gifting a high-cost dress that misses the customer’s visible personal style.
Assuming friendship alone can replace missing commission tags.

Off-the-Rack Sales
Off-the-rack designs are uncommissioned dresses made for the shop. Selling them gives a repeatable way to turn spare fabric and spare time into gold.
Open player answer ->Commission Requirements
Every commission combines a brief, budget, and visible tag targets. Treat those targets as the final checklist rather than choosing materials by color alone.
