Who are the characters in Dressmaker?
Dressmaker is a cozy dressmaking and crafting simulation built around the people who visit your shop. Its cast is a group of ten clients who bring dress commissions rather than a list of fighters or adventurers. A client’s request gives the crafting loop its purpose: you choose fabric, cut out patterns and sew the pieces together to satisfy the townsfolk. The official description also leaves room to sabotage them, although the supplied material does not explain how that works.
The practical shape of a visit is clearest in community gameplay videos. Rose, the town librarian, appears in the opening commission and asks for a simple, elegant dress suitable for work after moths damage her skirts. The player takes her measurements, drafts a design, chooses fabric and turns the pattern pieces into a finished garment. Style, fabric choice and execution all contribute to the client’s response.

That makes each character more than a name on an order. Their commissions supply different occasions and restrictions, while the measuring and sewing process connects every request to the same hands-on dressmaking system. The three profiles below summarise only what the supplied sources say about Vivian, Prudence and Alice; they do not reproduce the full commission tables from their dedicated guides.
Vivian
Vivian has a dedicated character guide, but the supplied Vivian material is much narrower than a full biography. It does not establish a client number, a commission sequence or personal preferences, so none is assigned here. The broader Steam material lists Good Girl Gone Vlad among Dressmaker’s achievements and notes the vampire theme suggested by its title. On its own, that entry does not document an unlock condition or provide a description of Vivian, so this overview does not turn the title into a claim about her identity or story.
The two community videos collected with the Vivian material instead show the customer experience surrounding a character’s orders. A client explains the occasion and requirements; the player sketches, measures, selects fabric, cuts and sews. Those are general Dressmaker mechanics demonstrated through other clients, not Vivian-specific briefs. Community-reported gameplay: Fleurs and Awkward Jaggies, checked November 9, 2026.
The dedicated Vivian guide keeps its own achievement-led account and sources. Use it for the fuller profile rather than treating this short hub summary as a commission list.
Prudence
Prudence is the client behind Never the Bride, a main-story commission on card #35 described as “A defiant black dress for Marie’s wedding.” The request belongs to Duke Hassan’s wedding and makes the character’s brief unusually direct: the finished dress must be black only, Flowers must stay at 0 or below, and the design must clear Quality 80+, Risqué 85+, Glamour 50+ and Elaborate 50+. The listed 1,500 budget is what Prudence pays; it is not a pass-or-fail score. These requirements are community-reported by Cozy Game Guides, updated October 22, 2026 and checked November 2, 2026.
The same community guide connects Prudence with Secret Gallery Visit on card #30, “A disguise for Priya’s exhibition.” That request instead calls for Quality 70+, Cute 50+, Playful 50+ and Patterned 50+, with a listed budget of 750. It shows a different side of commissioning: rather than a single dominant Risqué target and a black-only rule, the dress must balance three style bars.
Those two documented orders are examples, not the whole of Prudence’s story. Her full guide preserves the commission order and detailed requirements; this hub deliberately stops at the briefs needed to understand her character page.
Alice Wren
Alice Wren is a student followed by two spirits. Her own six commission cards share a Gothic requirement, but the accompanying spirits eventually become commissioners themselves. Selafie asks for a cute pink-and-white dress with bows, while Kroq demands Gothic, risqué red-and-black velvet. Spirit of Compromise sits between those contrasting directions with the same threshold across its five style categories. The spirits do not have friendship rows or separate achievements of their own. These character and commission details are community-reported by dressmaker.rest, Dressmaker Wiki and Tpose Gaming; requirements were checked October 3, 2026, and the character retelling was checked October 31, 2026.
According to the community Wiki, finishing Alice’s six own cards earns Caw Evermore. The two spirit wishes are listed separately, so the achievement condition should not be expanded to include them without another source. No client number is assigned to Alice here because the supplied material does not provide one.
Alice’s profile is therefore both a character introduction and a small story of opposites: a student, two supernatural companions and briefs that move between Gothic consistency, cute decoration and velvet world-domination styling. Her full guide contains all eight card requirements and her approximate, community-reported measurements.
The other clients and the wider cast
The supplied game material confirms ten clients, cross-checked against the community character index and a community character list. It does not provide a complete, individually documented profile for every one of them in the material used for this page. Accordingly, this overview does not invent names, client positions, personalities or commission requirements to fill those gaps.
Rose is the exception supported by the gameplay material: her librarian role and opening work-dress request are shown directly. Beyond the documented examples, the safest way to understand the wider cast is through the commissions themselves. Clients bring occasions and requirements, and the player responds through design, measuring, cutting and sewing. For the shop-side explanation of that loop, continue to the customers page rather than expecting this character hub to duplicate it.
