I saw a woman streaming this game. I knew there was a nice love to detail in it, when she started talking about "bias cutting" the fabric (apparently that's what it's called when you take the weave on diagonally), and it showed up in the game a few minutes later.

I also heard later that the developers added different colors of thread to the sewing machine, just to answer a player demand, even though the thread isn't a criterion in scoring the dress anyway. Very nice move, to enable the more accurate role-play despite it being unnecessary for the gameplay mechanics.

I'm kind of a fan, despite not wanting to play it myself.
