Recommend me a game featuring fashion and/or fibre arts

Every year the r/fantasy subreddit has an annual reading challenge in the form of a bingo card, and alongside my normal books one I’ve been trying to fill a card with IF. I’ve almost completed it! But there’s one square I’m having trouble with:

High Fashion: Read a book where clothing/fashion or fiber arts are important to the plot. This can be a crafty main character (such as Torn by Rowenna Miller) or a setting where fashion itself is explored (like A Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick). HARD MODE: The main character makes clothes or fibers.

Any recs that fit the prompt?

I am still unsure as to what counts as high fashion, but Magical Makeover is a good gamp where it (initially) has a lot to do with, well, a sort of fashion.

I believe that Filaments (as mentioned by @Natrium729) is about fashion and/or fiber arts.

(EDIT: This may be completely incorrect, actually! My apologies if so; I know very little French.)

(DISCLAIMER: I’m Italian, 'nuff said :wink: )

my major WIP contains, as expected from an Italian, detailed description of garments, and there’s two preview demos available:

but I warn you, the major critique (not always constructive… :frowning: ) is a bad english, perhaps compounded by the Italian standards of attention to the details.

Best regards from Italy,

I haven’t played any games where the PC is a fiber artist, but clothing plays a significant role in both Floatpoint and Plundered Hearts.

This game is a long, hard parser game that revolves around finding your laundry:

Secret Agent Cinder is a short illustrated game where you go to the ball as Cinderella and use your clothes to hide weapons:

I made a game called The Magpie Takes the Train that revolves around you switching uniforms to change what you’re allowed to do, and has a series of puzzles where you force someone to remove their accessories (including a scarf and a hat):

I second Melisande’s recommendation for Floatpoint as a game with important clothing elements!

Almost certainly not what you’re looking for, but I wrote a very short joke game about interacting with a piece of fibre art:

The game is very weird, but the art by Amanda Walker is, in my opinion, stunning.

Thank you all! I will give these a try
