Harder than it Seams
Requirement: Place over 300 accessories on one dress.
How to unlock: On a single commission, place 300 or more items that go down one at a time: jewels, brooches, bows, individual tassels, individual bells, buttons, or any other single-placement object.
Tips:
- The hard parts are having enough money and keeping count so you know you passed 300.
- Try it around the middle of the game or later. That is when you get several chances to build dresses with plenty of funds.
- Some commissions ask for a minimum number of an accessory, such as Pigeon Adoption early on and World Stage mid-game. The count keeps going after you meet the customer’s request, so you can watch it climb past 300.

Trim and Proper
Requirement: Use more than 50m of trim on a single dress.
How to unlock: Any accessory with “trim” in its name counts toward the 50m on one dress. Some of the laces do not count.
Tips: There are two ways to approach it.
- The legit way: Wait for a dress with a giant skirt and cover it in trim. Buy 51m of trim, then keep placing it until less than 1m is left.
- The cheese: Take a big skirt, such as the ruffle or odessa, and lay trim in circles on a spot another layer will cover. You reach 50m without careful placement and without hunting for room for the last meter.
You’ve Got Mail
Requirement: Finish Dorothy’s first dress and get Berty.
