Dressmaker Trims & Lace

Quick answer: trims and lace are the decorative finish applied after sewing. They complete a design's look and answer the brief's accessory line — add them knowingly, not by default.

Where trims fit in the loop

After sewing (see Sewing), the finishing step adds trims, lace and decorative accessories. The official content depth counts 350+ accessories; trims and lace are part of that finishing layer and appear in the official patch context (Build 403 / 410 shipped fixes/UX updates).

Applying trims — step by step

  1. Finish all seams first — trims come after assembly.
  2. Choose lace or trim to match the design and the brief's accessory line.
  3. Apply it in the finishing UI and check the result against the look you planned.
  4. Skip trims when the brief or design does not call for them — extras cost budget.
