Dressmaker Screenshots: Prototype and Steam Release

Every image on this page is a real game screenshot. The first four show the browser-hosted prototype playable here. The four images below them come from the separate, complete Steam release.

1. Rose's customer brief

Rose says she is starting a job as a librarian and wants something appropriate for the workplace. Her displayed budget is 300. The two buttons let a new player accept the tutorial or skip it; the image does not show a finished design yet.

What to do: Keep the workplace request and budget in mind when you open the sketchbook. The first commission walkthrough follows this particular order.

2. The sketchbook and requirements

The sketchbook repeats Rose's note and shows this commission's targets: Quality 60 and Workwear 40. The left panel has Fabrics and Accessories tabs; the right panel has arrows for Bodice, Collar, Sleeves and Skirt. Collar is faded in this captured state. The style labels under the drawing include a green Workwear tag.

What to do: Compare the dress drawing and visible style tags with the customer's words before pressing Draft Pattern. For each control, see the sketchbook guide.

3. A finished dress that met its targets

The Dress Progress panel reads Quality 92/60 and Workwear 201/40, both with green check marks. The dress is finished, and the Complete Commission button is available. This screenshot demonstrates one successful result; it does not establish how the hidden scoring system calculated those values.

What to check: Read each displayed value against the target after the slash, rather than judging success from the mannequin alone. The quality targets guide explains the panel in more detail.

4. A finished dress below its Quality target

This is a different dress and commission. Its panel shows Quality 58/80, with no green check beside the number, even though the screen says Dress finished! The image shows the result, not the cause; it cannot tell us which sewing or design choice lowered Quality.

What to do: Record the missed target, then change one making or design decision on a later attempt. The sewing and quality guide gives a practical review checklist without guessing a hidden formula.

Complete Steam release: official screenshots

These four images come directly from the official Dressmaker Steam store. They show the complete game rather than the browser prototype above. Select a picture to inspect the unaltered full-size game image.
