Dressmaker Sabotage Endings & Secret Achievements

While delivering exquisite bespoke gowns is the heart of Dressmaker, the game’s genius lies in its hilarious sabotage alternate branches. Each client has a hidden comedic breaking point that unlocks exclusive golden tools, hilarious cutscenes, and rare Steam achievements.

Apprentice Tailor Safe Harbor

Executing a sabotage choice does NOT permanently damage your atelier reputation or corrupt your campaign save file! The game retains full replayability through the Atelier Ledger in your office, allowing you to re-cut and sew the perfect 5-star gown right after enjoying the chaotic cutscene.
