Dressmaker Customers, Commissions and Friendship Guide
Last updated · Every tip below links to the source it came from.
In Dressmaker, townsfolk commission dresses for their events. You hand in finished dresses for reputation and coin (Steam store page). Each of the ten main clients has a Steam achievement for finishing all of their major commissions.
Client favourites and measurements
This table comes from ham's "Friendship Hints and Measurements" guide, which lists what each client reveals at maximum friendship. Ham notes they "do not have to be perfectly exact" to get a 100% mannequin fit. Another guide lists numbers about 0.1 different, so check your own journal.

How friendship grows
- Gift dresses. Giving a dress to someone raises your level with them and unlocks new patterns (Seerolz).
- Check the Friendships tab. The yellow tab in the journal shows each client's measurements and every dress you have made for them (dreamcatcheross).
- Answer pigeon requests. The pigeon lets you invite certain characters for a dress (Seerolz). Chaseit advises doing pigeon requests as soon as you can because they give friendship, and they don't seem to expire. After Dorothy's first commission she gives you a pigeon called Berty, who brings requests from people outside the main story.
Finishing every pigeon commission unlocks "Birds of a Feather, Frock Together". The achievements guide covers this and the missable Vivian choice.
Skipped on purpose
We have not written story or romance walkthroughs for individual characters, because we could not find sources detailed enough to check them.
