Dressmaker patterns tier list: best for Gothic
20 commissions ask for Gothic. Every bodice, skirt, sleeve and collar pattern that adds to it, ranked by its own Gothic value.
Ranked by Gothic value from the game files at build 26043449. Counts the pattern’s Gothic value. Does not count the part’s weight in the dress, its fabric area or its other tags, so compare within one part for the fairest read.
How this is ranked
- Metric
- The pattern’s Gothic value in the game data. A dress weighs its parts 35% bodice, 40% skirt, 15% sleeves and 10% collar, so the same value counts more on a skirt than on a collar.
- How tiers are cut
- By percentile within this list, so a tier says where something sits among its peers, not how good it is in absolute terms. Equal values always share a tier.
- S: top 10%
- A: next 20%
- B: next 30%
- C: next 25%
- D: bottom 15%
Patterns with no positive value in this tag aren’t ranked.
