What changed in the latest Dressmaker update?

The newest patch is Build 443, released on 14 October 2026. It reworks the camera (smooth zoom, Ctrl + scroll, right-drag pan, keyboard orbit), adds a Fast Trim Placement option and a duplicate-trim button, and lets you turn off the red outline, bloom and bouncing dialogue text. The sketchbook gained a randomise button, "Sell" became "Sell as off-rack", and colour and fabric scores are now weighted by area. It also adds new skirts, a cotton design type, two laces, four silks and new silver accessories and trims. Earlier, Build 403 made failed commissions still pay if the client accepts, and Build 410 fixed a tutorial softlock. The developers say rebinding and gamepad support come next.

    Build 443

    • Camera: smooth zoom, Ctrl + scroll zoom, right-drag pan and keyboard orbit.
    • Trim: Fast Trim Placement option and a duplicate-trim button.
    • Comfort: options to turn off the red outline, bloom and the bouncing text (Less Animation).
    • Sketchbook: randomise button. Off-rack: "Sell" renamed "Sell as off-rack", plus a delete button for off-rack dresses.
    • Scoring: colour and fabric-type scores are now area-based, so small components count more fairly.
    • New content: a less poofy Chrysanthemum skirt, a longer Pencil skirt, a cotton design type (Autumnal Vine, Spring Vine, Taupe), Silver Lace, Pastel Pink Lace, four silks (Burning Forest, Golden Dawn, Lavender Field, Snowflake Gradient), Silver Clasp, Silver Narcissus Chain, Silver Twin Souls Chain, Black Dagger Beaded Trim and Widow's Lace Trim.
    • Fixes: discarding fabric with the scissors; some crashes fixed by uninstalling OMEN Gaming Hub.
    • Next priorities: control rebinding and gamepad / Steam Deck support.
