Dressmaker Pattern Pieces
Quick answer: a design is made of pattern pieces — the shapes you lay on fabric and cut. Every piece carries size and grain data that the cutting UI uses.
What pattern pieces are
In the official gameplay step, a design is cut from fabric using its pattern pieces: you lay them out, respect the grain, and cut (see Pattern Layout and Grain Quality). The cutting UI in the release version presents the pieces per design, with their size bound to the customer's measurements (see Measurements).
Pattern pieces in the making loop
- Select a design for the commission (see Commissions).
- The design's pattern pieces appear in the cutting UI.
- Lay them on fabric, keeping grain alignment and avoiding overlaps.
- Cut — the piece count and shapes decide what panels you sew (see Sewing).
What is unverified
The exact piece catalogs per design (names, shapes, grading rules) are Unverified — do not rely on this yet: they require release-version UI evidence, which is being recorded.
Will this change after official updates?
Designs and piece data can be added or rebalanced in patches; this page is re-verified after each update that mentions patterns, designs or cutting.
