Prudence's 5th story commission
Never the Bride
Prudence is mad, and wants to attend Marie's wedding in 'damn-you-all' dress.
This commission only pays its budget for a dress that succeeds. What happens if it fails
Requirements
- Flowers: at most 0 Stay at or under 0. Patterns, fabrics and accessories can all add points. Even one Flowers point breaks this line.
- Use only: Black A two-colour fabric breaks this line if either colour isn't allowed. Only cut pieces 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?

In the game, the score bar for this line is labelled
Flowers (Max)
.At most 0 means the dress can't have a single Flowers point. The game rounds scores up, so even a little tips it over: one piece of a fabric like Strawberry Fields Cotton Print, or one accessory like Lilac Silk Daisy, is usually enough to break the line. Some patterns carry Flowers points too, so pick those with care. Everything that carries Flowers
- Use only: Black
- Every fabric on the dress needs to stick to the colours this line names. More about this kind of line
Prudence
For the wedding, I must be dressed in black eveningwear. You will have 1500. Think elaborate, think risqué, think glamorous. No flowers at all.
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.

Rewards
| Reward | Every line met |
|---|---|
| Gold | 1500 |
| Friendship with Prudence | +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 Never the Bride fails, the debrief has only one answer for you: "Fine, I'll make the changes." 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.
