Six things that trip people up
How a dress gets made
The eight stations of a commission, from the desk bell to the photo, and the sewing keys.
Stuck under 75 quality
The developer's two causes, and how to unpick and recut without buying fabric again.
What Gothic 40 means
Where tag scores come from and how to read Use only, Avoid, at most and at least 50%.
Lace trim that will not count
The filter that shows which lace counts, and the keys for placing accessories.
Money and gifts
When off-the-rack dresses open up, selling, gifting, and the pay questions still open.
No Finish button
Known bugs with what helped, and which the first patch fixed.

Four questions with short answers
Is Dressmaker on Switch or phones?
Not yet. The studio says Switch and mobile ports are planned, with no date.
Is there a free demo?
Not on Steam. The original prototype is on itch.io at pay what you want.
Why is my quality stuck?
Panels cut off the grain or sewing off the guide line, according to a developer. Arrows horizontal, 100% on each piece.
Does it work on Steam Deck?
It runs, but there is no controller support yet and a developer does not recommend it for now.
Where each fact comes from: sources.
