Yoke Gathered Skirt: unlock and cutting guide
Yoke Gathered Skirt unlocks at Prudence’s first friendship star. Cut all four panels: the small Front and Back pieces are only part of the skirt; the Left and Right pieces carry most of its area.
How to unlock it
- Raise Prudence’s friendship to star 1.
- Choose a matching bodice in the Sketchbook; the skirt list depends on that bodice.
- Select Yoke Gathered Skirt, then choose the variant and fabric before cutting.
Treat this as a new silhouette to try, not a ready-made commission solution. Its Elegant and Formal contributions can help one brief while pushing another over a maximum. Open a matching shape below and check the full dress before spending on fabric. The unlock finder checks the reward; friendship and gifts explains how to work toward it.
Plan the shape before buying the fabric
| Your goal | Start here | Check before cutting |
|---|---|---|
| Try the silhouette | Open a matching bodice below, then choose fabric you already have. | Use Off the Rack when you want to experiment without a client’s card. |
| Use it on a commission | Select the actual card in the dress designer. | Check style minimums and maximums together. A good-looking shape does not guarantee Quality or a pass. |
| Keep a favourite colour | Compare fabric swatches before replacing the skirt’s material. | The planner uses one fabric per part. Different fabrics on individual panels need a separate in-game check. |
The Left and Right panels together account for 83.0% of this skirt’s exported panel area. Do not budget from the small Front and Back pieces alone. The checklist below shows all four; its bars compare area, not the assembled shape.
Which bodices can use Yoke Gathered Skirt?
The Sketchbook checks the bodice’s skirt group and its explicit exclusions. A skirt does not have to share the bodice’s name to fit. These 59 obtainable bodices match. Opening a shape leaves fabric and your progress for you to fill in.

What it adds—and what it takes away
These are the pattern’s own points before fabric and accessories. They add to the whole dress; they are not percentages or a complete commission score. Compare fabrics for Elegant, then check the complete design.
Cutting checklist
Mark each panel once cut. The bars compare panel area within this yoke gathered skirt; they are not a sewing layout or a shopping length.
0 of 4 panels checked; 4 still unchecked.
Checkmarks stay while switching variants in this tab. Reloading clears them. An unnamed panel still needs cutting.
For mixed materials, check fabric area shares after choosing the variant. For arrows, seams and recutting, use grain and print alignment and redoing a piece. Checking a box here does not change your game or verify its Quality.

For a worked task, continue to Prudence’s commission requirements. Matching parts can require a different bodice; check compatibility before changing the shape.
