Features

Dressmaker features confirmed by official pages and development updates

Dressmaker focuses on real-world-inspired dressmaking: choosing fabric, designing in a sketchbook, cutting patterns, sewing pieces, decorating dresses, and serving townsfolk.

Core feature loop

Buy fabric

The presskit mentions cotton, linen, wool, silk, and velvet as example fabrics.

Design in the sketchbook

Players design and color dresses, add fabric samples and applique, then use the design as a guide.

Cut pattern pieces

Players arrange and cut pattern pieces, then preview dresses on a mannequin.

Sew and decorate

Steam and presskit materials show sewing, buttons, bows, applique, lace trims, and other decoration steps.

Serve townsfolk

Customers commission dresses for specific events and tastes, with reputation and coin tied to completed work.

Pet the cat

The official presskit explicitly marks that the cat can be petted.

Development update items

The June 2026 itch devlog describes work in progress. These should be framed as development updates rather than a final complete feature list.

Shop

Sell off the rack

The team says it is working on creating dresses to sell off the rack, letting players take a break from custom orders.

UI

Fabric inventory rework

The devlog says the fabric inventory is being refined so fabric previews are clearer, especially for silk and velvet.

Characters

9 of 10 planned characters illustrated

The devlog says character art is being refined and 9 of 10 planned characters are illustrated.

Onboarding

Unlock progression and tutorials

The team paused new playtest signups while working on unlock progression and tutorials for fresh players.
