Notes on the tricky ones

  • 99 Problems But A Stitch Aint One needs one dress at 100% quality. The developer’s two levers, grain alignment and staying on the guide line, are on getting 100% quality, along with the Sewing Assist setting.
  • Trim and Proper (over 50m of trim on one dress) and Harder than it Seams (over 300 accessories on one dress) are placement marathons. The placement bar lists Shift for Place Multiple; the keys are on lace trim and accessories.
  • Opulence and Excess asks you to spend over 5 000 gold on a dress that succeeds. The developer says the economy opens up once you sell dresses on the side: see off the rack, selling and gifts.
  • Sew Long is the first finished ruffle skirt. What unlocks the ruffle skirt is not known yet.
  • You’ve Got Mail comes with Dorothy’s first dress, which brings Berty the pigeon; Berty then carries the mail commissions that Birds of a Feather, Frock Together counts.
