Dressmaker workshop guides
Start with the whole dress-making loop, or jump straight to the station giving you trouble. These guides cover the Steam release.
Getting started in Dressmaker
A practical first-commission checklist: read the brief, plan the dress, choose fabric, cut, sew and hand it over.
Cutting, grain & missing pieces
Plan pattern placement, preserve print direction and troubleshoot cut pieces that do not appear on the mannequin.
Sewing & dress quality
Use a calm sewing workflow, inspect grain before chasing perfect quality, and separate style targets from construction problems.
Lace, trims & decoration
Understand lace placement direction, removal tips and the official Build 403 fix for trim tags.
Can’t submit a commission?
Troubleshoot a missing submission button in Dressmaker: incomplete pieces, colour categories, a safe reload and useful bug reports.
Client measurements & mannequin checks
Keep the correct client measurements with the current commission and handle a missing measurement set without guessing sizes.
Commission budget & fabric spending
Track fabric and accessory spending against your Dressmaker commission budget with a simple local planning tool.
Free creation & future game modes
What Dressmaker offers outside customer commissions, plus the difference between present creative freedom and announced future modes.

Read the first official Dressmaker patch changes, including lace tags, payments, the shop bell and cutting tutorial fixes.
