60% cotton versus cotton-only

A material floor leaves room for other fabrics; an only rule prohibits them. Match the rule to the named order before choosing a style top-up.

The first condition measures cotton's share of the dress. The second checks the type of every fabric entry. A mainly cotton dress with one silk piece can still meet a 60% floor, but that silk piece breaks a cotton-only order.

Sporting Chance: gingham and playful shapes

Use the princess scoop bodice, short puffed sleeves and single tiered skirt with gingham cotton as the main fabric. This is the walkthrough's economical starting route for the Simple and Playful mix. Allocate the main panels to cotton and read the Cotton row after adding any second fabric.

Sporting Chance's shown card has Simple 40 and Playful 35 targets, plus Cotton 60% and Quality 75. This draft reaches Cotton 77/60. The walkthrough describes a sporty brief, but these are the actual rows in its screenshot. View full screenshot.

If a style is short, a different fabric can be an option here, provided cotton still clears 60%. Do not assume a tiny cotton accent supplies the required share, or that every fabric sold with a sporty-looking print has the right type and tags.

Both Of Us?: Cool inside cotton

Rose's order uses a kaftan wrapped bodice, butterfly sleeves and twilight-hour skirt. Choose cotton entries that support Cool; the example uses plaid cotton. This time, a tempting silk or linen top-up is prohibited even if it would improve the style score.

Both Of Us? shows Cool 95/50 and Quality 96/80 under “Use only: Cotton”. There is no 60% allowance here: all fabric entries must remain cotton. View full screenshot.

If Cool is short, change the cotton entry or the contributing pattern piece. Use the Cotton type filter to keep the replacement legal, then compare its Cool tag rather than picking by price or print alone.
