Friendship and gifts
Friendship is as close as it gets so far: no romance option has turned up (see the FAQ).
The Sketchbook opens on a Friendships page: one row of five stars for each of the ten, with clients you have not met shown as ???. A commission the dress passes adds a star (a failed one adds a quarter), and each client’s own page lists their measurements and a Personal style that fills in as you go; Rose’s shows Professional and Simple after her first two dresses.
Gifting opens right after Prudence’s Undercover Servant, with the prompt “You may now also gift dresses to the clients you've met.” The finished-dress box then offers Gift Dress beside Complete Commission and Sell, and a gift can end with the game saying “Your friendship has inspired new dress patterns!” and new patterns added to your sketches. Do not use Gift Dress on a dress made for an open commission: the story can stall. Selling works from the same box, see off the rack, selling and gifts. Every way to fill a star is on friendship stars and gifts.
