Adora Thimblethread

Adora offers 1000 for her first dress, and her coronation dress, Crowning Glory, carries the largest budget on any card: 5000. She is new in town, very sure of her athletics and much less sure of everything else.

Adora’s Cheerful Frog: green fabric first, face second

The card checks Quality 80+, Playful 50+, Daywear 50+, Green: at least 60%. Its budget is 1000 gold. A frog face is a decoration idea; the card has no separate face, eye or mouth requirement.

Build the base before buying decorations

Use the starting Milkmaid Bodice and Puffy Gathered Tiered Skirt, their first shape variants, with no sleeves or collar. Put one of the two green cottons below on both parts. The Build 410 model met the style and Green checks without accessories; recheck Green in the current game.

Green is a fabric-composition check; Build 443 boosts smaller parts. Green bows or piping do not replace the cloth requirement. A multi-colour print divides its area between its colour tags.

For the optional face, place the eyes first and fill a short mouth. Check each copy’s angle with the accessory controls.

The fabric value uses exported panel areas, not a purchase-length quote or your actual bill. Cutting waste, mannequin scaling and decorations can change the cost. The pictured face is not included in these plans. Quality still depends on cutting, fit and sewing: check Adora’s Quality and check the completed commission before delivery. These are calculated planning examples, without an in-game pass test.

Who Adora is, and her style profile

She gives her name as Adora Thimblethread and adds “My friends call me Addy.” Before that she asks whether all the commissions weigh on you, and describes the feeling in detail: “It isn't a constant crushing pressure on your lungs, a tension haunting every moment of every day?” “Hypothetically, that is.”

Adora’s commissions

  1. The contest has archery, running, weightlifting, fencing and swimming, and “As I have trained in all those disciplines, I plan to take part.” “I would favour a simple and playful garment, and it should be made from a lightweight, breathable fabric” She suggests cotton, and the card makes it a rule: at least 60% cotton. Delivered: “Wonderful! I can't wait to compete in this dress.” The gossip paper afterwards calls her name unusual and has her beating Prudence at the contest.

      The highest Quality of any card listed here. Check the cut and the sewing first: if grain and sewing both read 100% and the dress still falls short, the mannequin is off her true size. Set it to Adora's numbers on the client measurements page and make the dress again.
