Fabric in Dressmaker

The number 450+ is from the studio's 7 September 2026 price post, which also says the cloth was drawn in-house. I have not opened every bolt, so I will not print a catalogue.

April 2026's Tea post describes a custom shader so silk and velvet do not share one shine, and it mentions sequins as a possible odd cloth. May's post says hovering a bolt shows its full name. Community mod notes use tags such as formal, casual, uncomfortable, and gothic. That list is not an official taxonomy.

Grain, bias, and scraps

Grain and bias affect the finished look; careful placement reduces waste. The community achievement guide describes re-cutting a piece: remove it from the mannequin with the seam ripper, return it to the pattern tab, pick it up at the fabric table, and put it in the basket at bottom right. It says fabric is restored only before the piece has been cut off. This is player-reported behavior, not an official refund promise; test on an expendable piece first.

Burlap is the free base cloth in community guides. Bought the wrong bolt? Budget tips.

Burlap is called free in the community achievement guide. The screenshot inventory entry of 5.00 has no unit label and is not evidence of its purchase price. Check your current shop before relying on a zero-cost strategy.
