Dressmaker Achievements Guide: All 32 and the Missable One
Last updated · Every tip below links to the source it came from.
The Dressmaker store page lists 32 Steam achievements. Chaseit's 100% guide says most of them unlock through the story, and that only one, "Sucker for Punishment", is missable. Unlock rates below are Steam's global percentages as of 15 October 2026.
Achievements that need a plan
| Achievement | Steam description | Players | Tip (chaseit) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 99 Problems But A Stitch Ain't One | Achieve 100% quality on a dress. | 77.8% | Chaseit says measurements must be exact, even when the mannequin already shows 100%. |
| Sew Long | Complete the ruffle skirt for the first time. | 16.4% | Uses a lot of fabric. |
| Birds of a Feather, Frock Together | Complete all the commissions received via pigeon. | 4.1% | Take pigeon requests as soon as they arrive. |
| Sucker for Punishment | Hidden on Steam | 3.6% | Missable: in Vivian's pigeon request, choose the leech when she asks about animals. |
| Trim and Proper | Use more than 50m of trim on a single dress. | 3.5% | Buy at least 50 m (chaseit buys 51 m) and use all of it. |
| Harder than it Seams | Place over 300 accessories on one dress. | 5.5% | Shift-click small gemstones to repeat them quickly. |
| Opulence and Excess | Spend more than 5 000 gold on a successful dress. | 5.2% | Only fabric you actually use counts, so put the value into gemstones, brooches and trim. |

General tips
- Off-the-rack mode is a sandbox. Use it to practise and to earn gold for the expensive achievements (chaseit).
- Required accessories can be hidden in the folds of a skirt (chaseit).
We haven't listed the remaining hidden story achievements, because Steam doesn't publish their descriptions.
