We Love It's Guide to…
Run a small-town dressmaking shop: design dresses, cut fabric, sew and decorate commissions, then sell your own creations.
Released 21 Sep 2026
Arrange pattern pieces on fabric like a layout puzzle; the direction and grain of the cut can change how the finished dress looks.
Use different fabrics for individual dress panels, then place lace, bows, buttons and appliqué where you choose.
Design for customers’ specific occasions and preferences, from a funeral or wedding to a diplomatic event, while keeping an eye on costs.
You play a dressmaker serving townspeople who want custom dresses for events and personal tastes. Customers bring requests and stories to the shop, giving each commission its own requirements.
Design each dress in a sketchbook by choosing its pattern pieces, fabrics and colors. Arrange and cut the fabric, fit the pieces on a mannequin, sew them together, and add details such as buttons, bows, appliqué and lace. Choices such as fabric placement and pattern direction affect the finished garment.
Complete commissions to earn coins and reputation, and progress to unlock more dress styles, fabrics and accessories. You can also make ready-to-wear dresses to display and sell, balancing creative choices against material costs.
