Making dresses
Improve Quality
Understand Dressmaker Quality weights, identify the likely weak point, and repair fit, off-grain pieces or inaccurate seams.
Adjust dress size
Match the mannequin to a Dressmaker customer and check fit before cutting fabric, including when to reuse or retake measurements.
Align patterns
Align Dressmaker paper patterns with the fabric grain, distinguish grain quality from print direction, and avoid waste while laying out pieces.
Use the scissors
Follow the normal Dressmaker cutting tutorial and return cut pieces to inventory so you can resume dragging patterns.
Use Sewing Assist
Find Sewing Assist, learn the sewing controls, and correct difficult corners without expecting an automatic perfect dress.
Add lace trim
Distinguish Lace Trim accessories from lace fabrics, place the edging neatly, and check whether the commission counts the correct item.
