The game is so cool! I can really tell that it's made by people who truly enjoy making garnments, there are such details that you can select, that's already a nice piece of game. Would really love to have a complete version , making dresses is cool but let me make shirts, and pants, and jackets, and hats, LET ME DESIGN MORE!!!!
I don't know if it was your inspo but it made me think about the very first Jeune Styliste Haute Couture. The first one was a really well done piece where you were in an artist atelier and you made your pattern. I love that you added the accessories and the fact that we need to understand how each piece fit together on the mannequin. Again it's smart and remind me of doing personal couture project but in a much more easier way.
I truly hope that patterns will not be gender locked 'cause I think it's a loss for a lot of mode games to have these stricts notion of each gender should wear each thing. Even with the historical setting, I believe it can work (think Sufragettes, butch of this era and stuff, there are already potential for genderfluid people in here!)
Again, thank you so much for making this prototype on itch. It's a well done piece of work and I can't wait to have the final game! Hope the game will reach publishers and money as it reaches my heart and passion for couture games ♥
