Home / Commissions / Dorothy
Dorothy's pigeon commission. It can be Dorothy's 5th commission at the earliest.
Detective Dorothy
Dorothy wants a dress that makes her look like an investigator.
This commission pays its budget when you deliver the dress, even if it fails.
Requirements
- Wool: at least 50% Each part of the dress gives a fixed share of this line, the skirt the most. Inside a part, your cut pieces of this type count by their size, so pieces you haven't cut yet pull the share down. The metres you bought don't count.
Why can't I finish?
The Finish Dress button appears once every pattern piece is on the mannequin and every seam is sewn. Can't finish a commission?

You can make this dress with what you have when the commission arrives. Its fabrics and accessories are in the shop from the start, and its patterns are yours by then. Passing every commission before this one gets you to Rank 11.

Perhaps you could make part of this dream a reality. Would you make me a woollen dress that is gothic and professional? I can offer you 750.
Suggested fabrics
Gold chips are what this commission asks for. Red chips are what it avoids. The fabrics whose own values come closest to the asked tags are at the top. Ties go to the cheaper fabric. Each fabric here is fine on its own for this commission's colour, type and "at most" lines. Chip values are only the fabric's share, and patterns and accessories add their own. Only fabrics in the shop by Rank 11 are listed here. You reach that rank by passing every commission before this one.
