Vivian in Dressmaker: her commissions & the achievement

Vivian is one of the ten named Dressmaker customers, and she is the client behind the Steam achievement Good Girl Gone Vlad. Steam’s own achievement statistics confirm two things about her and nothing more: the achievement exists, and it is earned by completing all of her major commissions. No official source has ever described who she is. This page keeps that line — the confirmed facts, the commission mechanics she shares with every other customer, and the gaps marked Unconfirmed. Facts checked October 14, 2026.

One of the ten named customers

Vivian is one of the ten clients with a major-commissions storyline, each confirmed by a matching Steam achievement. Hers is Good Girl Gone Vlad, and its official description is the whole of the confirmed record: complete all of Vivian’s major commissions. Steam’s global statistics showed 1.4% of players had unlocked it on September 29, 2026, which puts her storyline among the four rarest of the ten.

Good Girl Gone Vlad

Two official sources cover this achievement: Steam’s global achievement statistics, which list it with its description and its unlock percentage, and Steam’s achievement list, which groups it with the other nine customer storyline achievements.

  • Official description: “Complete all of Vivian’s major commissions.” All ten customer achievements follow that one template, one per named client.
  • Global unlock rate: 1.4% when the statistics were read on September 29, 2026. Only Prudence and Prejudice (1.1%), Drawn to Hue (1.2%) and Swan Song (1.3%) sat lower among the storyline ten.
  • Steam recalculates these figures continuously against every player who owns the game, so the number drifts as more people finish her storyline. The 1.4% here is what Steam showed that day.
  • The achievement name is the only official hint at who Vivian is. “Good Girl Gone Vlad” suggests a gothic turn, and reviews mention gothic, funeral-appropriate commissions, so the tone is consistent — but a name is a hint, not a fact, and the developers have never described her.
  • It is a storyline achievement, not a delivery: it unlocks at the end of her run of commissions, not on a single finished dress.

How commissions work for every customer

Vivian sits on the same shop loop as the other nine clients. These are the mechanics the official sources describe, and they apply to her exactly as they do to everyone else.

Official

You ring the bell

Customers do not queue outside: you summon the next commission by ringing the bell, which is how a working day is paced. The bell became the rule in the first patch after launch.

Official

Some orders arrive by pigeon

A subset of commissions arrives by pigeon. Completing all of them is a separate achievement, Birds of a Feather, Frock Together (1.0% unlocked). When one lands, it is worth prioritising.

Official

Occasions set the brief

Townsfolk want dresses for events on their social calendar and to their own tastes. Published reviews describe workwear, ball gowns, a wedding and a gothic black dress for a funeral among the requests.

Official

An accepted commission pays

Delivery earns reputation and coin. Since the first patch, a commission the customer accepted pays out even when the dress itself fails — a fix that landed in the players’ favour.

What official sources do not say about Vivian

No developer statement, store listing or achievement entry describes Vivian beyond her name and her achievement, so every gap below is marked Unconfirmed rather than filled in from community posts.

  • Her personality, tastes and backstory: Unconfirmed. Not one line about who she is has been officially published.
  • Her commission list, when each order arrives and any reward values: Unconfirmed. Each brief is stated in the game itself, and in no official source outside it.
  • What “major commissions” counts as — all of her orders or a named subset — is not published; the achievement description is the entirety of the official wording.
  • Whether a friendship or romance track exists for her: Unconfirmed. The store listing says only that you can “satisfy (or sabotage!)” townsfolk, with no mechanical detail beyond the exclamation mark.

Vivian is one thread of a larger narrative: the story page explains how Twillford and the client storylines carry Dressmaker’s plot, and where the confirmed facts stop. Story →

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.

Questions

Vivian questions

Who is Vivian in Dressmaker?

One of the ten named Dressmaker customers. She is confirmed by the Steam achievement Good Girl Gone Vlad, whose description places her among the clients with a major-commissions storyline. No official source publishes a biography, a preference list or any other detail about her.

How do you unlock Good Girl Gone Vlad?

By completing all of Vivian’s major commissions — that is the official description of the achievement, and the same template all ten customer storyline achievements use. It unlocks at the end of her storyline rather than on a single delivery.

Are Vivian’s commissions missable?

No. The story does not branch, so no earlier choice locks a commission out. You can work through her major commissions at your own pace, and nothing you do elsewhere in the shop removes the achievement.

How hard is the Good Girl Gone Vlad achievement?

It is among the rarest of the ten storyline achievements: 1.4% of Dressmaker players had unlocked it when Steam’s global statistics were read on September 29, 2026, with only three storyline achievements below it. The difficulty is the length of the storyline, not one difficult brief.

Is Vivian a vampire?

Unconfirmed. Her storyline achievement is called Good Girl Gone Vlad, which is suggestive and nothing more. Published reviews mention gothic, funeral-appropriate commissions, so the tone is consistent — but a name and a mood are not official descriptions.

What does Vivian ask for?

Unconfirmed in advance. Like every customer, she states her brief in the commission itself — the occasion, the style scores and any material requirements — and no official source previews a per-customer order list.
