Dressmaker achievements: all 32, hidden ones revealed

Dressmaker has 32 Steam achievements and 16 of them are hidden until you earn them. Each hidden condition sits behind a tap, so the story events stay unspoiled until you want them. The Players column is the share of all Steam players who have it.

Plan the next client achievement

Mark cards you have handed in, pass or fail. Checkmarks are your own notes, not a Steam sync; they normally stay in this browser. Client achievements unlock on handing in the final major card, while event achievements can also require reading the newspaper.

Quick answers

• Only one can be missed: Sucker for Punishment. Every story and client achievement needs its card handed in, not passed, so a failed dress still counts.
• 12 event achievements wait for the newspaper. They unlock when you read that event’s report at the front desk, not when the last dress goes in.
• The five craft achievements are checked on every dress you hand in, sell or give away, so an off-the-rack dress works. Steam’s descriptions ask for more than 300, more than 50m and a successful dress, but the game unlocks them at exactly 300, 50m and 5,000 gold and does not check the card.

Notes on the tricky ones

Only one of the 32 can be lost for good. Which one, and which only look risky, is on missable achievements; whether one dress can take the three rarest at once is on 300 accessories, 50m of trim and 5,000 gold.

• 99 Problems But A Stitch Aint One needs one qualifying dress, not a perfect score on every commission. Its no-fit score can differ from the commission card: check the two-score examples and hand-in checklist, then use the Quality calculator.
• Trim and Proper (50m of trim on one dress) and Harder than it Seams (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 for materials worth 5,000 gold on one dress; it does not have to pass a card. Money gets easier once you sell dresses on the side: see off the rack, selling and gifts.
• Sew Long is the first dress with the Ruffle Skirt that you hand in, sell or give away.
• You’ve Got Mail comes with Dorothy’s first dress, Pigeon Adoption, which brings Berty the pigeon; Berty then carries the mail commissions that Birds of a Feather, Frock Together counts.
