Marie's 5th story commission
Diplomatic Outreach
Marie is going to the royal coronation, and needs a fancy dress.
This commission only pays its budget for a dress that succeeds. What happens if it fails
Requirements
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?
Known issues (0.7.0)A dress that meets every line
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 13.
This dress scores Elaborate 60, Glamour 120, Eclectic 110 and Eveningwear 90.
Quality is up to your cutting and sewing: aim for 80 or more.

Marie
Let’s see…I will need a gown. It must be elaborate, glamorous eveningwear. I would like to make a bold statement with a patterned fabric — something that might come from a faraway land, perhaps? I can give you 1500.
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 13 are listed here. You reach that rank by passing every commission before this one.

Rewards
| Reward | Every line met |
|---|---|
| Gold | 1500 |
| Friendship with Marie | +1 |
| Prestige | +1 × 6 ÷ (6 + n) |
This commission can't end as a failure. A failed dress just reopens it, so it never gives the failure reward (+0.25 friendship, +0.25 prestige and the budget).
n is the number of dresses you have already finished. Each one makes the prestige gain a little smaller. Ranks
If this dress fails
If the dress for Diplomatic Outreach fails, the debrief has only one answer for you: "If it's a question of the national importance, I will endeavour to do better." That answer reopens the commission, so you can work on the dress again, as many times as it takes. The commission gives no gold, friendship or prestige until you deliver a dress that succeeds.
