Dressmaker Characters: Every Customer in Twillford

You are Twillford's new seamstress, and the whole town walks through your door. Every customer has their own body (the mannequin must be tuned to their measurements), their own taste, and their own gripes about the neighbours. Steam's achievement list confirms major commission lines for ten townsfolk — here are all the dressmaker characters documented so far.

Character Profiles

Rose Your first customer

A cute ginger librarian in a green vest who saw your ad in the Town Herald. Her first commission is a work dress — something modest and professional that doesn't stand out. She returns later in the story with a new order.

Brief: appropriate, professional, low-key. B 86.2W 68.8H 95.8First: ●200

Prudence Most searched · Trending Breakout

"Prudence might be many things, but she is definitely not prudent." A self-confessed gold digger circling the new Duke's fortune. She asks you to close the shop when she visits — she can't stand the idea of Twillford's other women catching the Duke's eye in your dresses. She and Priya trade barbs through you all day.

Brief: Brief: elegant and glamorous, cost is no object, absolutely nothing black. Wealth-signalling luxury — velvet, silk, maximum trim. "Old money at a scandal." B 96.2W 69.5H 103.6

Priya Drama core

Niece of the recently deceased Duke — a man she happily calls dreadful — whose title passed to her brother. She commissions a funeral dress she doesn't look sad in: fierce, formal, gothic, not colourful. The goal: intimidate the suitors sniffing around the new Duke, Prudence chief among them.

Brief: power silhouettes, sharp modern lines, an edge of menace. B 104W 78.6H 112.8First: ●300

Marie Laroche The demure newcomer

Grew up in Tulleton and never met the Duke — she's attending the funeral all the same. Women in her hometown prefer colourful, patterned clothing, but for this occasion she wants simple, formal, elegant — something demure. A test of restraint after Fiona's three-colour chaos.

Brief: demure, formal, respectful — and note the "Respectful Funeral" commission entry players found in the notebook. B 93.5W 70.5H 102.3First: ●300

Edith Swan Opera singer

A famous opera singer who hasn't sung since her husband passed. Someone wants to write her biography, and she intends to be dressed for the part: glamorous daywear, a little sparkly — but not too much, so the biographer doesn't think she's trying too hard. The subtlety brief.

Brief: glamorous daywear, restrained sparkle. W 89.6H 120.6First: ●500

Fiona Farm-to-table fashion

A newly arrived, very ambitious farmer transforming her holding into a fresh produce empire — and hosting a garden party while she's at it. Her gardening dress must be cute, playful, outdoor-proof, and contain at least three colours of fabric. Her brief in the sketchbook demo literally reads: "most of my dresses have paint stains."

Brief: cute, playful, outdoorsy, 3+ colours — floral cottons were made for her. B 114.6W 92.9H 125.5First: ●250

Alice Quiet · Haunted

A very quiet young student with a darker truth: she hosts two spirits — Kroq, who is mean and angry, and Selafie, the calmer, kinder one. You can see them; they don't seem particularly concerned about you. To revive her studies she wants a gothic romantic dress with lace.

Brief: gothic, romantic, lace. Ask no questions about the ghosts. B 86.7W 70.3H 97.6

The Vampire Weird & wonderful

A town resident of the more dramatic sort, who may or may not be planning to steal your cat. Their commissions run theatrical: high collars, deep colours, maximum drama.

Brief: high collar, deep colours, theatre-kid energy.

🗣️ Gossip is a mechanic. Prudence and Priya complain about each other through you; others hint their tastes before they state them. Listening while you sew is the cheapest five-star review in Twillford.

More townsfolk
