How to Get 100% Quality in Dressmaker

Quick answer

Align every piece with the fabric grain, confirm valid placement before cutting, follow the outline cleanly and sew directly along each seam. Slow down for corners and curves.

Use this checklist before delivery. It reflects the public Prototype 0.5.5 and will be retested against the full release.

Before cutting

  • Match each pattern piece's grain arrow to the fabric grain.
  • Leave enough usable cloth around every piece.
  • Reposition crowded pieces before committing to a cut.
  • Confirm the placement feedback is valid.

While cutting

  • Follow the pattern edge instead of taking broad shortcuts.
  • Slow down around tight corners and curved panels.
  • Check that no required panel was skipped.

While sewing

  • Keep the stitch path directly on the seam guide.
  • Use controlled movement around curves.
  • If a section begins to drift, correct early instead of compounding the error.

Quality is not the whole commission

A neat garment can still miss the customer's request or exceed the available budget. Treat construction quality, style match and spending as separate checks. The exact scoring weights for the full game are not yet public, so this guide does not invent a formula.
