main commissions, in story order

Part of the Crowning Glory story arc.

What Marie asks for

  • Quality at least 80
  • Elaborate at least 50
  • Glamour at least 25
  • Eclectic at least 50
  • Eveningwear at least 40

“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

  • Elaborate: pick fabrics and accessories that carry the Elaborate tag.
  • Glamour: pick fabrics and accessories that carry the Glamour tag.
  • Eclectic: pick fabrics and accessories that carry the Eclectic tag.
  • Eveningwear: French Floral Black Lace (30 gold) or Absynthe Lace are among the cheapest high scorers.
  • 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 Marie's exact measurements first (fit is 20 of the 100 points), cut on grain and sew cleanly. How to get 100% quality.
  • Marie's own taste: Eclectic + Elegant, silk, orange, trim accessories. Lean that way when the brief leaves you a choice. Her profile and measurements.
