STATUS · LAUNCH BUILD CHECKED SEPTEMBER 28, 2026
Dated official announcements first; community reports stay separate until a fix is confirmed.
The official posts below were read from the Steam News feed and are reproduced with their publication dates.
A small UX patch made sketchbook component names clickable, stopped the mouse wheel rotating cutting-room panels over inventory, added thread-colour selection, added mannequin placement hints, and fixed a tutorial softlock before the bell.
The first post-launch patch fixed the cutting-room tutorial cursor, enabled the back button during the store tutorial, changed customer summoning to the bell, corrected lace tags and failed-commission payouts, fixed a keyhole bodice, and repaired shop buttons on very wide displays.
The developer shared a post-launch community update and confirmed continued development after the launch response.
Cozy Lives and Free Lives released Dressmaker. The official launch notes mention post-launch fixes, new fabrics and accessories, plus planned online challenges, transparent fabrics, and controller support.
This is the live build status for Dressmaker, and it reads the Steam News feed and the developer's own site. Those are the only two places an announcement is taken from, and both are linked on every entry. Community threads are read as evidence of what players see, not as announcements.
Store-page text and patch notes are treated differently. The store page describes the game as sold, while news posts describe what changed. When the two disagree, the newer news post is the entry that gets published here. The source register records the same pages with their scope and check date.
A player report is a starting point, not an entry. To move from reported to confirmed, a report needs two independent reproductions with the same steps and the same result, or one acknowledgement from the developer, plus a recorded game context so the case can be repeated.
A single thread, a screenshot without steps and a claim that a fix is "obviously needed" all stay unconfirmed. Reports that clear the bar are published with their reproduction steps and the date they were tested. Reports that do not clear it remain described as player reports on the page that covers the relevant system.
Steam does not print a version number for Dressmaker. The store listing, the news posts and the achievement list were all checked on September 28, 2026 and none of them names a build number, so this page tracks the build by date instead: the launch build of September 21, 2026.
The date is moved only when an announcement or a store change shows that something was shipped. If a post lands without a version number, the entry notes the change and keeps the launch date as the last known build marker. That is the honest limit of what the checked sources support.
These counts are read from the published records when the site is built, not typed in by hand, so an empty collection is visible here instead of being hidden. A record appears only after its values can be traced to a dated source.
| Collection | Published | Last checked | What it holds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commissions | 0 | — | Request records with a budget and attribute limits |
| Fabrics | 0 | — | Material cost and attribute rows |
| Patterns | 0 | — | Bodice and skirt records |
| Accessories | 0 | — | Accessory cost and attribute rows |
| Achievements | 32 | 2026-09-28 | Transcribed from the Steam achievement list |
| Updates | 4 | 2026-09-28 | Dated official announcements |
| Sources | 7 | 2026-09-28 | Tracked source records with their scope |
Collections that read zero are waiting on evidence, not on writing. Each one publishes only when an official surface or a traceable community report states the values together, which is why the commission and material tables are still empty while the achievement list is not.
They come from the Steam News feed for Dressmaker, where the developer publishes release notes and post-launch posts, plus the official Free Lives page. Each entry links to the page it was read from and carries a check date.
It needs two independent reproductions, or one official acknowledgement, plus a known build where it happens. Until a report clears that bar it is described as a player report and is never listed as a bug that the developer has accepted.
The launch build released on September 21, 2026 is the tracked build. Steam does not print a version number on the store page or in the news posts, so the page labels the build by date and rechecks that label after every announcement.
The entries were checked on September 28, 2026, and the page is re-reviewed whenever the developer posts something new. A quiet week produces no new entry, because this list records dated announcements rather than activity.
