Sources for this Dressmaker guide
The studio’s posts and Steam’s own data come first. Commission cards come from screens: screenshots in a Steam guide, a press walkthrough and frames of a recorded playthrough, each read back against its own image. Anything in quotation marks is copied word for word from the source it links to, and a player’s report is always labelled as one.
