Evidence

Unlock percentages are Steam global unlock rates, read September 29, 2026. Steam recalculates them continuously, so they drift by a tenth of a point as more players unlock things.

Customer storyline achievements

Ten achievements, one per named customer, each reading "Complete all of <customer>’s major commissions." These confirm that every customer has a major-commissions storyline — see the characters page for the ten names and what the developers say about the cast. Characters →

How to tackle the hard achievements

These routes use only what the game confirms about each achievement’s condition plus the mechanics behind them. Where the exact trigger is unpublished, the route says so.

99 Problems But A Stitch Aint One — 100% quality

Every dress carries a quality percentage and mistakes at the machine cost you some of it, so this is a clean-run achievement: plan in the design book, cut deliberately, sew without slipping, and decorate with the brief in mind rather than by feel.

Harder than it Seams — 300+ accessories on one dress

Decoration placement is completely free and the game counts each accessory, so the fastest route is a dress you do not intend to deliver: cover one garment with buttons until the counter trips. It is also, by unlock rate, one of the two rarest achievements in the game.

Trim and Proper — more than 50m of trim

Trim is tracked by length, and lace trims are the classic way to spend it. Edge every hem, sleeve, neckline and seam on a single dress. Note the launch patch that fixed some lace items not being tagged as trims — if you were chasing this in the first 24 hours, your lace may not have counted.

Opulence and Excess — 5,000 gold on a successful dress

The dress still has to succeed, so this is not one for a practice piece: pick a commission you are confident about, then buy the most expensive fabrics and accessories the shop offers. It is the single rarest achievement on Steam, at 0.7%.

Birds of a Feather, Frock Together — every pigeon commission

This confirms a second delivery channel alongside the walk-in customers: some commissions arrive by pigeon. How pigeons are triggered is unpublished, so the practical route is patience — accept and complete every pigeon order you are offered.

The ten storylines

One achievement per named customer, earned by completing all of their major commissions. The story does not branch, so nothing can be missed by an earlier decision — every one of the ten is reachable in a single save.

Hidden achievements

Sixteen achievements ship with no published description. Their names are official; their unlock conditions are not, and are marked Unconfirmed rather than guessed.

Hidden achievement names are official; their conditions are not. Nothing beyond the names has been published for these sixteen, so anything you read about what they need is community speculation rather than an official condition.

Where these facts come from

This site is built from three official sources: the Steam store listing, Steam’s global achievement statistics and the developer’s own Steam announcements. Everything they state is quoted or paraphrased with the source cited; anything none of them states — per-fabric stats, hidden achievement conditions, what sabotage changes — is marked Unconfirmed rather than filled in. Nothing here is sourced from community wikis or datamining, and generated illustrations are labelled as such.
