Dressmaker, the tailoring sim from Cozy Lives, ships with 32 achievements, and almost all of them reward normal play rather than obscure tricks. The list breaks into four groups: finishing each named client’s major commissions, completing every dress tied to a special event, handling a few one-off progression or dialogue triggers, and clearing a handful of deliberate crafting and spending challenges.
Quick answer: Complete all major commissions for each of the ten clients, finish every dress in all 14 events, clear the three progression and dialogue triggers, and finish the five crafting and spending challenges.
The single most useful habit is treating events as full sets. Several achievements only pop once you finish every dress connected to an occasion, not just the one that feels like the centerpiece. If a new batch of themed requests keeps appearing, work through the whole group before moving on. You can view the full unlock rates on the game’s Steam listing.
Client commission achievements (10 total)
Ten achievements are tied to a single client. Each one unlocks when you finish that character’s entire chain of major commissions, so the safest route is to never abandon a storyline just because another commission opened elsewhere.
| Achievement | Client |
|---|---|
| Good Girl Gone Vlad | Vivian |
| Swan Song | Edith |
| Go Off, Queen! | Adora |
| Caw Evermore | Alice |
| Prudence and Prejudice | Prudence |
| Snitches Get Stitches | Dorothy |
| A Rose By Any Other Name | Rose |
| Drawn to Hue | Priya |
| G.O.A.T. | Marie |
| Reap what You Sew | Fiona |
Finishing an event does not automatically clear the matching client’s commission achievement. The two conditions are tracked separately, so complete both to be safe.
Event dress achievements (14 total)
This is the largest group and the one where players most often leave cleanup for later. Each achievement requires every dress requested for that occasion, not just one commission. None of them ask for a special score; completion of the full set is the only condition.
| Achievement | Event |
|---|---|
| Laid To Dress | Duke’s funeral |
| Style Goals | Woman’s Sporting Day Contest |
| Dart Deco | Priya’s exhibition opening |
| Rooting For You | Market Fair |
| Hedge Your Bets | Hedge maze exploration |
| Don’t Wanna Miss A Spring | Spring Fete |
| Simply Beastly | Twillford Pet Show |
| Smells like Sateen Spirit | Alice’s séance |
| Newlythreads | Duke Hassan’s wedding |
| A Midsummer Night’s Seam | Stargazing |
| Extrav-organza | Summer Ball |
| On a High Note | Edith’s opera gala |
| Crowning Glory | Coronation |
| Don We Now Our Gay Apparel | Another wedding |
Progression and dialogue triggers (3 total)
Three achievements sit outside the normal commission loop. Two depend on early progress or a single dialogue choice, and one is its own separate commission line.
You’ve Got Mail
Finish Dorothy’s first dress to acquire Berty. This unlocks early, well before you complete Dorothy’s full chain for Snitches Get Stitches, so treat the two as separate goals.
Sucker for Punishment
During Vivian’s conversation about animals, pick the Leech option. This is a one-time dialogue choice, so watch for it when the animal talk appears rather than crafting anything afterward.
Birds of a Feather, Frock Together
Complete every commission delivered by the pigeon. These form their own completion track, so finishing the named clients’ storylines will not cover this one.
Crafting and spending challenges (5 total)
The remaining five are the deliberate ones. Several burn money or materials for no benefit beyond the unlock, so it is easier to save them for late-game when resources are no longer tight.
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Trim and Proper | Use over 50m of trim on one dress |
| Opulence and Excess | Have a dress succeed after paying over 5,000 gold. |
| Sew Long | Craft the Ruffle Skirt for your first time |
| Harder than it Seams | After adding more than 300 accessories to a single dress, sell it |
| 99 Problems But A Stitch Aint One | Reach 100% quality on a dress |
Two of these have easy-to-miss final steps. For Harder than it Seams, the count is not the end; the accessory-loaded dress must be sold before it registers. For 99 Problems But A Stitch Aint One, every cloth piece and stitched section has to hit 100%, so build it as a slow, dedicated project rather than folding it into an event you are rushing.
Sew Long is the gentle one here, unlocking the first time you finish the Ruffle Skirt cloth design. Opulence and Excess and Trim and Proper are pure resource dumps, so make a throwaway dress for each once your finances can absorb the waste.
How to confirm the full 32
Each achievement pops the moment its condition is met, so watch for the on-screen unlock as you finish a client’s last commission, sell the 300-accessory dress, or hit 100% quality. Once the ten client chains, all 14 event sets, the three triggers, and the five crafting challenges are done, you have every achievement in the game with no random grinding left to do.
