Dressmaker measurements: load the right customer

The developer describes a sequence in which you measure the customer, adjust the mannequin to that body and draft the pattern from those measurements. A saved set for Rose is therefore not evidence that Prudence’s measurements have loaded.

The tutorial tells you to hold still for a moment to record each measurement. Rose measured bust 85.6, waist 67.8 and hips 95.7 in both of our new games on Build 447. Her card showed only Confirm: as the first customer she had no saved set to load.

1. Drag the measuring tape from the floor at the lower left onto the customer.
2. Keep the button held and move the tape to the bust, the waist and the hips, pausing at each until its value appears on the card.
3. Release the tape and click Confirm once all three values are filled in.

On our second new game the tape read about 103 at the bust, 81 at the waist and 110 at the hips before any adjustment, so every gear needed a large turn for Rose. A Mannequin value appears only after the tape has measured that level, and a red ! marks one that is far off.

1. After Draft Pattern, drag the tape onto the mannequin. The view zooms in on three gears: bust, waist and hips.
2. Move the tape up or down by its centre marker to the level you want to read.
3. Drag around a gear to turn it, and watch the magnified tape reading change.
4. Watch the Body and Mannequin columns until each pair matches, then click Confirm.

These readings come from one fit on Build 447, recorded in our clips. The 100% result had every value within 0.3 cm; with one value 0.5 cm out, accuracy read 83% to 85%. Kingy has not tested how accuracy affects the finished dress.

These controls are reported by a launch player. Emiiary’s October update video (Build 443) shows the panel beside the mannequin with a Load Measurement button directly beneath Confirm; it does not show a saved set being loaded. Kingy has not reproduced the sequence in the game.

1. Open the measuring stage and look below Confirm for the saved-measurement control described by Seerolz.

2. Load the intended customer if their saved measurements are available.
3. Check the selected customer before continuing to pattern drafting.

DollyontheShelf reports the measurement menu moving around the screen. The inspected replies offer no confirmed fix. Treat this as a separate input problem from a missing saved customer; the load-measurements advice does not establish a repair for it.

A player reports taking Prudence’s measurements but seeing only Rose’s while drafting the next commission. The inspected discussion has no confirmed recovery. The load control above is useful only if the saved set exists; we cannot promise that it restores missing data.

Keep a screenshot of the customer list, the commission name and your installed build if you report the issue. A reset or save deletion is not supported by this evidence.
