Your first dress, one stitch at a time
No sewing experience needed, and no countdown. Take your time and make a story someone can wear.
- 01
Hear a little story
Open a letter in your atelier. Each customer has an occasion and preferences. Ask about colors or movement to shape the brief.
- 02
Choose a pattern and cloth
Ten outfits combine individual bodices, sleeves and skirts. Mix unlocked components. Six starter fabrics are yours; buy the rest for your swatch book and reuse them in future designs.
- 03
Cut the cloth yourself
Move and rotate the patterns, then pin them. Drag a gold point and release to cut, or draw a curve with the scissors. Lift and continue anywhere. A safety line protects the minimum coverage.
- 04
Fit, stitch and try it on
Place each piece on the dress form and stitch the glowing points in order. Fitting feedback reads your actual neckline, sleeve length and hem. Return to just the piece you want to adjust.
- 05
Deliver and keep your work
Name your outfit, finish the fitting and deliver it. Commissions earn coins and reputation. Every outfit is added to your saved wardrobe without replacing earlier designs.
- 06
Make for yourself, or for the window
Finish the first commission for each of the three customers to open free design and shop sales. Display a finished free-design outfit and accept an offer from a town buyer, or keep following familiar customers’ stories.
Mouse, touch and keyboard
Drag patterns or edge points. Use Tab to focus a point and arrow keys to adjust it. In layout, arrow keys move a pattern and R rotates it. The assistance panel can cut along the current edge.
