Edith Swan

Edith: start with the commission that is failing

Biographer’s Interview

Check Daywear 50 and the 1 placed brooch before delivery. A dress can pass Glamour and Risqué while either of these still fails.

Fix the interview dress

Phoenix Costume

The card counts 4 placed feathers, as well as its style scores. Trim length does not satisfy a feather count.

Plan the feather costume

Another Encore: Quality still stops at 80

Start with fit before buying silk or resewing the dress again. If every panel and seam is already at 100%, changing fabric price or adding jewels will not raise Quality. Compare Edith’s fit examples, then check Another Encore with Edith selected. Use the mannequin settings from when you drafted the pattern, not a later tape reading.

Carrot Promotion: a carrot shape is optional; the colour rule is not

Use only: Orange, Yellow, Green. Every colour tag on every cut fabric panel must be allowed. One fabric tagged with an extra colour makes that line fail; it does not ask you to use all the allowed colours. Accessories do not enter this fabric-colour check.

Starting fabric option	Colours	Gold / metre	Playful	Daywear	Elaborate
Daffodil Yellow Cotton	Yellow	10	50	50	0
Honey Yellow Cotton	Yellow	10	50	50	0
Meadow Green Cotton	Green	10	50	50	0

These are fabric weights, not finished-dress scores. A plain cotton may leave Elaborate short: compare the pattern bonuses and penalties, then test the whole design in the Carrot Promotion planner. Check the final numbers with the commission checker.

Edith’s commissions

1. “I am here because I have an interview with a biographer. He is writing a book about me, if you would believe it.” The brief asks for “Something with a little razzle-dazzle sparkle” and ends “Maybe make it a teensy bit risqué?” That is the Risqué 20 on the card; the brooch is a rule of its own, so add one before you finish. If Daywear stalls short of 50, see Biographer’s Interview. Delivered: “Darling, what a treat! This is just what I had in mind.”
