Dressmaker game FAQ
The questions every new dressmaker asks, answered strictly from the official Steam listing and achievement statistics — with Unconfirmed labels wherever the official record runs out.
Where these facts come from
This site is built from two official sources: the Steam store listing and Steam’s global achievement statistics. Everything they state is quoted or paraphrased with the source cited; anything neither source states — fabric stats, customer personalities, hidden achievement conditions — is marked Unconfirmed rather than filled in.
- Official Dressmaker on Steam (app 4019220) — The official store listing. Source of the release date (September 21, 2026), the $14.99 price, Windows/Mac support, language support (English, Simplified Chinese and Japanese with full audio), the single-player/casual-simulation classification, the named fabrics (cotton, linen, wool, silk, velvet), the decoration types (buttons, bows, appliqué, lace trims), the sketchbook, mannequin, grain/bias cutting, window-display and "satisfy (or sabotage!)" mechanics, and the official system requirements.
- Official Dressmaker — Steam global achievement statistics — Steam’s official global achievement stats for app 4019220, read September 2026. Source of the full 32-achievement list, each achievement’s official description (where one is published — hidden achievements show none) and the global unlock percentages quoted across this site.
