Separate the colour restriction from the style targets. Funeral requests do not all use the same palette.

STYLE DIRECTION
A starting point for your design
Sweetheart bodice; flounce sleeves; mermaid skirt; velvet.
Suggested by Into Indie Games’ commission walkthrough. Use your current in-game requirement bars when adapting the design.
Plan around the tricky part
Do not reuse the palette from another funeral commission without reading this brief. Occasion names alone are not a reliable guide to colour: this request specifically excludes black.
Check every visible panel and any optional trim against the restriction. When switching a fabric to raise Elegance or Glamour, repeat the colour check so one improvement does not introduce a new failure.
Before you hand it over
- Compare the active request with the garment’s colour, material and style indicators.
- Check that the intended pattern set has been cut, fitted and sewn.
- Review any specifically requested accessories separately from the fabric.
- If the submission action is missing, use the missing-button checklist before buying replacement materials.
