The Great Couturier lets you design garments piece-by-piece, from necklines to pattern placement, then compete in fashion shows against other players. You unlock new styles and accessories gradually while progressing through fashion ranks from apprentice upward. It's a lightweight design-and-compete game best suited for players wanting short bursts of creative dress-up gameplay rather than long-term progression.

First things first, I did receive this game for free. It does not persuade my review though. the game is like $3 on sale, you cannot buy a positive review out of me LOL.

N E ways.. I actually REALLY like this game! Yes, it is a bit bare bones. There is no theme for the fashion show you send your character out onto. I'd love if the devs could eventually program something like that into the game at a later point.

What there is: dress up, recolor clothing items, managing money, and STYLE!

When you first start your game play, you have $4 to start. I was confused by that at first but I guess it makes sense. You wouldn't just get free clothes lol. With the $4, you have to buy yourself some clothes! If you don't like the options handed to you, you can refresh your shop for $1. I think it's a neat mechanic with the cash. You have to either save your money to buy up stuff you want, or wait until you find the specific piece you want on sale. Clothing items repeat in the store and have different prices! Super neat tbh.

It does seem like its mainly random for the judging. I made the cutest outfit ever and I swear the other girl on the runway was in Shrek green.. aint nooo way she won LOL. somehow she did.. Weirdly I caught myself getting way too into this game LOL.

The clothing pieces and fabric designs were REALLY nice! I felt like there were tons of modern day fashion pieces which is always cool to see. I feel like some effort was put into that portion of the game!

For the price of the game ($2.50 on sale or $4.99 full price), I honestly don't think it's an awful deal. Again, there isn't much to the game, but what is here, is quite nice. There aren't many fashion games on steam so at the moment, I do think this is pretty good!

I favorite game so far! There should be more dress up games on Steam! Honestly! At first I didn't know much. I was just mixing up clothes, shoes and hairstyles as the budget permitted and make my model walk the catwalk.

That was it, I thought. But as you keep playing, as you keep winning, a fashion bar will appear. From a simple apprentice you can become a Trendsetter. (I barely made it to Fashion Expert!)

There is so much to this game than meets the eye. This is a Must Have for nostalgic fans of dress up games. Remember when we all played the Sailor Moon Senshi games? Or the ones from Y8T website (or something like that)?

PROS:
- Three models to choose from;
- Color, patterns, clothes, shoes, hairstyles to combine;
- You can buy and sell items in-game to upgrade your model's look;
- Fashion bar adds a sense of progress, makes you want to try creative ideas;
- Music sounds like the ones playing during catwalks;
- Easy to learn mechanics.

NEUTER:
- Would have loved some achievements;
- Hope there'll be a DLC for male models and clothing;
- Once you start and go back to main menu, you will notice "Concede" under "Play". If you press that, your progress will be erased.

CONS:
- None for now.

In conclusion, I thank my friend for pointing this game out to me. I recommend The Great Couturier to anyone! Steam, please, more dress up games in the future, okay? Thank you!

Price: Maybe for a dollar.

Honestly, it gets old after a bit. Check most people's amount of time spent in the game. It's super short. It resets after each 10 rounds. You don't really feel that dopamine kick in the end. Just in the beginning.

It falls short in the end for me. Decent little time killer, though, short term, and maybe upon return later in time?

They could do better, In My Humble Opinion (IMHO)

but, there's a demo. You can try that if you'd like. It's free.

Note: I've tried this game a while back and nothing has changed. Just an FYI for ya (For Your Information) so you can be better informed. ^.^

Latest updates

Hotfixes: Less Lag, Better Layer Controls

27 days ago
Following yesterday's big update, a couple of issues popped up - and we've now fixed them:Lag, especially in the wardrobe, should be almost completely gone. The first time you open it, it may still take a little while to load depending on how many items you have. After that, everything should be nice and fast.We've taken another pass at how layers work, both while sewing and in the Layers tab in general. Finding the right balance between "intuitive and easy to understand," "lets you do whatever you want," and "doesn't cause ridiculous glitches" isn't exactly easy, but we think this new version is a pretty good compromise.The system is now closer to how it worked before, while making it much clearer whether you're working with the garment you're currently sewing or the clothes already worn by the model.Enjoy the game!

Available Now: Themed Contests, 10-Minute Rounds, Outfit Saves,

28 days ago
Hi everyone!We’re excited to share another batch of improvements based on your feedback:Contests now last 10 minutes instead of an hour. You might not always have enough time to get the maximum 3 votes during those 10 minutes, but you’ll always receive your reward. You can still increase it by checking back later - for up to 24 hours after the contest.Themed contests are here! The theme changes once a day at 00:00 UTC. Those sleeves you've been saving finally have their moment to shine! At first, we expect the pool of themed looks to be a little limited, so you may occasionally be matched against system-generated outfits - or even a duplicate of your own look. This will naturally improve as more players enter themed contests, and with contests now lasting just 10 minutes, the pool should fill up pretty quickly.To make entering themed contests easier, we’ve added a new Outfits tab. Save your looks, edit them, and quickly dress your model in a previously saved outfit without losing that perfect combination you came up with.We’ve added - or, to be fair, finally fixed - the ability to remove individual items directly from the wardrobe.Eyeshadow and blush can now be removed as well.We’ve added another skin tone for the model.The Layers tab now shows all available layers, regardless of what your model is currently wearing. Layer changes should also update immediately when you open the Sewing tab.And, of course, there are a bunch of smaller fixes and improvements here and there.Have fun, and good luck in the contests!

Yeehaw, Ready to Pick Up the Pace?

Just a quick heads-up: no, you’re not imagining things - everything really did get a whole lot faster!You can now learn new skills much more quickly, and they cost less to unlock, too. We’ve also given the Beauty Salon prices a very generous trim.Oh, right - Environments! Those are now 10 times cheaper, so don’t forget to take a look.Want to say “thank you” and support the development of The Great Couturier?
