Alice's 4th story commission
Parental Guidance
Alice wants a dress to wear for a séance.
This commission only pays its budget for a dress that succeeds. What happens if it fails
Requirements
- Jewel: at least 10 Beaded trims count once for every bead. You can buy 18 accessories that count for this line.
- Lace: at least 40% 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?
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 Rank 3, and its patterns are yours by then. Passing every commission before this one gets you to Rank 11.

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 | 500 |
| Friendship with Alice | +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 Parental Guidance fails, the debrief has only one answer for you: "Understood, Kroq." 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.
