How to meet every commission requirement
Meet the hardest tag first, add fabric and pattern pieces that support it, use accessories to close the final gap, and keep quality above its separate target.
01 / Prerequisites
Check these before you start
- OKAccept the commission and read the full brief.
- OKHave enough gold for the planned material.
- OKKnow whether the design must stay within a fixed budget.
02 / Steps
Follow the workflow in order
- 01
Identify the requirement type first
Separate minimum tag scores from Max limits, quality targets, color or fabric shares, allowed-only rules, accessory counts, and trim lengths. Each type needs a different fix.
- 02
Rank the tag gaps
Start with the requirement the current silhouette is least likely to satisfy. Solving the hardest tag early avoids rebuilding the whole design later.
- 03
Choose pattern pieces before accessories
Garment shape should supply the broad style language. Accessories are better for precise gaps and visual emphasis.
- 04
Preview swatches before purchase
Compare fabric tags and required length together. A cheaper roll is useful only when it still supports the request.
- 05
Close the last gaps with decoration
Add required flowers, bows, lace, or applique at readable scale. Recheck every bar after each placement.
- 06
Use quality as a second checklist
Do not assume a stylish dress passes if the quality target remains below its bar.
03 / Common mistakes
Avoid wasted time and materials
Fixing the easiest tag first and discovering the hard requirement is impossible.
Treating an at-most or Max line as another score to maximize.
Buying accessories before knowing the final silhouette.
Reading only the customer description and ignoring numeric target bars.

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.
Open player answer ->Sketchbook
The sketchbook is the commission planning screen: choose garment pieces, preview material tags, compare the design against the request, and draft the pattern.

Accessory Placement
Accessories can add required tags, event-appropriate detail, or personal style. Placement, scale, and layer order determine whether they help the design or hide it.
Open player answer ->
Quality Score
Quality is a scored requirement shown beside the style tags. Style tags prove the requested aesthetic; quality tracks how cleanly the garment was built.
