This comparison helps you select the correct item group. If a commission still does not count a selected lace item, follow the lace requirement troubleshooting steps, including the historical Build 403 classification context.

Which kind of lace are you selecting?

Look at the item’s group before its appearance. A fabric choice changes the material on the pieces you cut. A trim choice creates placed finishing along a path. A component whose shape includes frills is another decision again. Their similar edges do not make their requirements interchangeable.

Official October group Named additions What to check
Lace fabric Silver Lace; Pastel Pink Lace Material labels and the pieces using it
Trim Widow’s Lace Trim; Black Dagger Beaded Trim Selected trim item and placed length

Black Dagger Beaded Trim is included to show the official trim group; this page does not relabel every trim as lace. The patch supplies no complete item score or price list.

What does this mean for a commission?

If the active order asks for a fabric type, adding a decorative edge is not evidence that its panels use that fabric. Select the correct material, then inspect the requirement display after applying it to the intended components. Build 443 changes the influence of small components, so a collar or sleeve should be checked alongside the skirt.

If the brief instead names a finishing item or category, read the selected inventory label. Counted accessories and trim length can require different records. Use the accessory-category guide when two labels seem similar.

Can lace fabric satisfy the trim-length achievement?

The public condition for Trim and Proper names more than 50 metres of trim on one dress. Fabric used on panels is not evidence of that placed trim length. Keep the trim readout or an accountable use record rather than estimating from how much lace the dress seems to contain.

How can you plan the appearance?

Try a single visible edge first, inspect its side and back continuation, and compare it with the larger fabric pattern. Fine lace on a busy material may be difficult to read even when its category is correct. This is a visual design judgement, not a scoring penalty claimed by this guide.

Alice’s profile reports a preference for white and Lace. It does not turn every lace-trimmed garment into the correct answer to her current order. Use the placement guide for interaction checks and the October catalogue for the other new material groups.

Fiona’s lace condition: check the item category

A Steam discussion reports a Fiona order still unmet after several lace trims. Players suggest comparing the brief’s wording with the fabric and trim categories, then filtering accessories. The thread does not establish which item solved the order. Fiona’s profile is a preference reference, not this specific order.
