main commissions, in story order

Part of the Smells like Sateen Spirit story arc.

What Alice asks for

  • Quality at least 80
  • Gothic at least 80
  • Elaborate at least 50
  • At least 10 Jewels
  • At least 40% Lace fabric

“No more than” is a cap: go over it and the dress fails that line, even if everything else is perfect.

How to pass it

  • Gothic: Black Wool Pinstripes (10 gold) is among the cheapest high scorers.
  • Elaborate: pick fabrics and accessories that carry the Elaborate tag.
  • Where to put it: the skirt and bodice carry 75% of a dress's tag score (40% and 35%), so use the fabric that scores the tag there. How tag scores work.
  • Quality 80: set the mannequin to Alice's exact measurements first (fit is 20 of the 100 points), cut on grain and sew cleanly. How to get 100% quality.
  • Alice's own taste: Gothic + Cute, lace, white. Lean that way when the brief leaves you a choice. Her profile and measurements.
