Reading a card

  • A number with a plus is a floor: the finished dress needs at least that much Quality or that much of the tag. What raises each tag is on style tags and requirement rules.
  • A dashed box marked max is a ceiling. Chilly Overtime wants Cute and Romantic at 20 or less, and Tomb Raider caps Elaborate at 5, so an over-decorated dress fails them.
  • Shaded rules are sentences the card prints, such as Avoid: Black or Use only: White.
  • Plain numbers such as Feather 4 or Green 40 are “at least” goals: a percentage for colours and fabrics (Velvet: at least 50%) and a count for accessories (Brooch: at least 1).
  • Not Haughty’s Quality 70 is a ceiling even though the card does not print (Max): a dress at 62 passes it and a better-made one fails.
  • Budget shows on the card only while the commission is open.

Which clients are here

All ten clients with an achievement for finishing their major commissions have cards here: Rose, Prudence, Priya, Marie, Edith, Dorothy, Fiona, Alice, Vivian, Adora. Selafie has one card as well. The first cards run roughly in story order; the later ones are grouped by client, because the order they reach you depends on your choices. How the story events fall is on story events in order, and each client’s cards are gathered on the ten clients.

When a dress still fails

Before you hand a dress over, run its numbers through the commission checker: it marks the line that would fail, caps included. When Quality is the line that stays short, the fix is in how the panels were cut and sewn, which getting 100% quality walks through. If the Finish button never appears or a card disappears, that is on known bugs and fixes. Lace trim goals have their own catch, covered on lace trim and accessories.
