The finished style score differs from the sketchbook
Fabric averaging and detached-sleeve handling differ between the two checked calculation paths.
The sketchbook averages its fabric samples. A finished dress uses the fabric on panels placed on the mannequin, with fixed part shares and original panel mesh areas within each part. Adding a small sample to the book does not guarantee the same influence on the finished dress.
For a legal detached sleeve on a bodice without attached sleeves, the checked sketchbook method omits that sleeve's pattern tags while the finished method includes them. This is a code-path finding, not a reproduced client display bug.
Key facts
- Checked rule
- Fabric style shares: bodice 35%, skirt 40%, sleeves 15%, collar 10%; absent slots are renormalized.
- What still needs checking
- Mixed-fabric exact scores need panel mesh areas and runtime checking that this guide does not provide.
Steps and checks
- Confirm which panels actually use each fabric, instead of counting the book's samples.
- Check whether the chosen sleeve is detached and whether the bodice allows attached sleeves.
- Read the final requirement feedback after construction; do not treat a predicted style value as a guaranteed commission result.
