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.

Sketchbook
The sketchbook is the commission planning screen: choose garment pieces, preview material tags, compare the design against the request, and draft the pattern.
Cutting Room
The cutting room turns a drafted pattern into fabric panels. Placement and grain direction affect the final dress, so cutting is more than tracing the shortest layout.
Sewing Machine
The sewing machine converts cut panels into a garment. Keeping the needle near the marked seam builds the quality score used by commissions and achievements.
Fabric Shop
Fabrics carry visible style tags, prices, and visual finishes. The shop is a scoring and budget decision, not just a color palette.
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.
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.
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.
Advanced Event Dresses
High-detail event dresses demand more material, decoration, and planning. The goal is not maximum ornament everywhere, but deliberate coverage of every request.
Silhouette Choices
Silhouette determines how much fabric and decoration the design can carry. A ballgown offers space for large motifs; a fitted gown demands cleaner placement.
