The 8 In-Game Fabric Categories
Verified across full in-game testing. Discover base costs, best-matching styles, and expert tips.
Burlap (Coarse Jute)
Pro-Tip:Costs absolutely zero gold! Always test unfamiliar pattern combinations on the mannequin with Burlap before cutting expensive silk.
Cotton (Weave & Print)
Pro-Tip:Very forgiving grainline angle. Ideal for early Dorothy, Fiona, and casual daywear commissions.
Linen (Natural & Slub)
Pro-Tip:Essential for the Women's Sporting Day Contest ("Style Goals" achievement). Do not overload with heavy accessories.
Wool (Tweed & Flannel)
Pro-Tip:Has distinct vertical weave direction. Misaligning grainlines by more than 8° on the cutting table causes heavy quality penalties.
Lace (Chantilly & Guipure)
Pro-Tip:Distinction: Lace fabric builds garment panels; Lace Trim is an accessory in the trim drawer. Do not confuse the two!
Velvet (Obsidian & Plush)
Pro-Tip:Has strong pile nap direction. Never rotate paired skirt pattern pieces against each other or colors will reflect light unevenly.
Sequin & Shimmer Satin
Pro-Tip:Delivers massive Glamour tag bonuses for the Summer Gala ("On a High Note"). Beware of clients who disallow high flashiness.
Royal Mulberry Silk
Pro-Tip:Required for Adora's 5,000G Coronation Gown to achieve 100% Quality and roll the credits.
