hum...Hi! maybe it's weird someone bring it back but I tried to make the dress as I said and I could not, I tried all ties but none worked. Sorry for my bad English, I'm Brazilian and I used the goggle translator, and I'm loving the game!
If you're making the masquerade dress, be sure to get the Sparkles pattern but do not give it a colour (the pattern is white by default, and it will not accept it otherwise).
