Choose the guide for the changed task
- Trim placement: end-node selection and extension, duplication and Fast Trim Placement.
- Camera and accessibility: Ctrl plus wheel zoom, right-click drag pan and Less Animation.
- Requirement evaluation: greater influence for small components on colour and fabric-type checks.
- Cutting-room handling: collect-all button, clearer hints and explicit fabric-discard selection.
New pattern variants
- A less poofy chrysanthemum skirt variant.
- A longer pencil skirt variant.
The announcement says the new content unlocks throughout the campaign in the usual way and unlocks retroactively for players who have passed the relevant point. It does not provide a complete customer, rank or commission unlock table. If you cannot find a variant, check your installed build and progression before treating its absence as a bug.
New fabric names in the announcement
- Autumnal Vine Border Print Cotton, Spring Vine Border Print Cotton and Taupe Cotton.
- Silver Lace and Pastel Pink Lace.
- New shot silks and gradient silks, with Burning Forest, Golden Dawn, Lavender Field and Snowflake Gradient Silks named in the notes.
New accessories and trims
- Silver Clasp, Silver Narcissus Chain and Silver Twin Souls Chain.
- Black Dagger Beaded Trim and Widow's Lace Trim.
These names come from the developer's update. Prices, per-client recipes and exact score contributions are not supplied by that announcement.
Changes that can affect existing dresses
Small components now contribute more to colour and fabric-type requirements. Trim placement and default tilt fixes can also alter how an older dress looks. Preserve an older screenshot when reporting a regression; a score or trim position from Build 410 is not automatically reproducible in Build 443.
Other useful changes
The sketchbook gains a component randomise button and a button to delete off-rack dresses. The photo-scene Sell button is relabeled Sell as off-rack. Sizing-room gears accept the mouse wheel or arrow keys. The developer also documents tutorial fixes, a cutting-room flash fix and performance improvements.
Plans are separate from shipped changes
Full rebinding, gamepad controls and further camera work are described as priorities or future improvements. The October announcement alone does not establish that those features have shipped. Build 443 is the latest developer build announcement found in the official news feed checked on October 30, 2026, not a guarantee about every branch or a later installation.
