Fabric families and shopping
The Emporium screenshot and early commission walkthrough provide useful details for two named fabrics. This is a pair of documented examples, not a complete catalogue; check the live item card for any fabric not listed here.
| Fabric and item | Verified details | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Cotton · Strawberry Fields Simple Cotton | Emporium card: Casual 50, Cool 50, Daywear 50, Cute 50, Elaborate 50, Playful 50, Flowers 100 and Patterned 100. The screenshot shows 2 metres for 20 gold. | These readings belong to this named cotton only; compare the item card with the current commission. |
| Linen · Cool Grey Linen | The Emporium list shows 3.00 gold per metre. The Librarian Workwear walkthrough says this owned linen raises Professional. | A documented first-commission option; the sketchbook’s fabric estimate helps plan the required metres. |
Material restrictions are hard requirements
The early commission walkthrough describes Spring Fete as silk-only. Check every assigned panel against a material restriction before cutting.
Pattern pieces and variants
Build the silhouette from bodice, sleeve and skirt choices, adding a collar where the design supports it. Read the trait effect before committing to a shape.
Find variants
Click a component name in the sketchbook to choose a design; Build 410 makes this interaction clearer. The player guide identifies small dots below some names as additional variants. Check those markers before settling on a bodice, sleeve or skirt silhouette.
Carry your plan forward
Items selected in the sketchbook are starred and move up the cutting or decoration lists. This makes it easier to find the pieces you planned after leaving the design screen.
Read piece placement
Build 410 adds a placement hint when you hover over a panel in the inventory. Use it to match the piece to its position on the mannequin before assigning fabric. In the cutting room, scrolling over the inventory no longer rotates panels.
Customers and commissions
Requests give each design an occasion and specific constraints. Keep the active brief nearby, because customers may ask for contrasting styles as their stories advance. Explore the customer index.
Decorations and accessories
The full release has 350+ accessories. Separate required decorations from optional finishing touches: a brooch or three bells requested by a commission belongs in the shopping plan from the start. Check the live shop price and remaining budget before adding extra trim.
