main commissions, in story order

Part of the Laid To Dress story arc.

What Marie asks for

  • Quality at least 75
  • Formal at least 50
  • Elegant at least 40
  • Simple at least 40
  • At least 50% Black

“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

  • Formal: Absynthe Lace is among the cheapest high scorers.
  • Elegant: Absynthe Lace is among the cheapest high scorers.
  • Simple: Amethyst Cotton (10 gold) is 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 75: 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.

From players who finished it

  • If Marie's card seems to have no requirements, open the sketchbook, go to the friends tab and flip pages (bottom-right corner) until "Respectful Funeral" shows. Steam discussion
