Dressmaker Patch Notes: Public Devlog & Prototype Update Index

The team shared progress on UI refinements, off-the-rack dress selling, character art, dress pieces, fabrics, and playtest status. This is not an itch.io prototype patch note, but it is part of the public development record.

The post describes work on character measurement, mannequin fitting, fabric shaders, shop UI, controls, new dress pieces, and ongoing feedback. It shows development continuing beyond the 0.5.5 prototype patch.

The team said they had gone quiet while working on the full game and pointed players to Steam, Discord, and Instagram for updates. This should be treated as a status note, not as a promise that itch.io will never receive another post.

The post lists small fixes for the flounce sleeve sprite and ruffle skirt grainline/naming. It also notes a known issue affecting ordering of panels for existing ruffle skirts.

The public devlog summary mentions a hotfix for a save file corruption issue and fabrics not unlocking correctly. Use the official post for the exact wording and file list.

The official index describes this as bug fixes plus new content, including a new bodice and skirt. Check the post before relying on specific feature details.

The team announced the Steam page, encouraged wishlisting, and summarized prototype changes such as improved sewing, accessories, fabrics, one new skirt, and lace trim.

The public index lists several September posts covering the big update, smaller patches, fixes, keyboard sewing controls, and the internal greenlight news. These are grouped here to keep this page focused and avoid restating every changelog line.

The public devlog index lists this as one of the early Dressmaker posts. Use it for historical context rather than as a current installation guide.
