Dressmaker Alice: Commissions, Lace and Caw Evermore

Alice’s Studious Motivation request brings Romantic and Gothic styling together with lace. Use this early commission example to plan a design, then follow her major commissions for Caw Evermore.

Who Alice is

Alice is one of the ten customers with a named major-commission achievement. This guide covers her documented early lace request and explains the completion milestone. Read each new brief independently: one request does not define every dress in her series.

Studious Motivation: plan the lace

The early brief calls for Romantic and Gothic traits, with plentiful lace. Treat the two style requirements and the lace requirement as separate checks while planning.

Required traits and material

Aim for Romantic and Gothic, and include lace. Check the active commission panel for any additional constraints before shopping.

Suggested pattern combination

Into Indie Games recommends front lace stays, Juliette-Bishop sleeves and a corset skirt. This is a starting design, not a claim that it is the only valid combination.

Fabric and trim

The guide identifies French floral black lace and ivory lace as options, plus lace trim from the accessories section. Compare the actual traits and prices shown in your Emporium.

How to unlock Caw Evermore

The achievement tracks completion of Alice’s major commissions. Delivering Studious Motivation alone is not the same as finishing her commission series.

Keep the event milestone separate

The community achievement guide lists Alice’s séance dresses under Smells like Sateen Spirit. Treat that event condition separately from Caw Evermore.
