My Universe – Fashion Boutique

I am enjoying this game however I am having a hard time getting through the Fashion Show section.
When I am in the shop I was looking at the reference fabric choices and trying to create the colors, fashion type etc to complete the requirements for the fashion show.
I tried going this twice and still was told if I left the sewing shop I wouldn't be in the fashion show.
I ended up wasting some hours creating a bit of garments only to have to back out of the fashion show because I needed to log off the game.
There are no instructions on how to complete the garments and how to get to the fashion show segment.
Is there a solution to this?

This is a fun game. If you have any interest in sandbox, retail sim, creative or fashion games, this one is worth a try. THe concept is very simple. You put templates (sewing patterns) and fabrics together and make clothing. As you continue to play, you can unlock more types of templates and fabrics and accessories. Every so often you put on a fashion show.
This is not a high pressure or competitive type of game. The challenges come from pleasing the customer or aligning with the fashion show themes, for best results. That's how you unlock more items in the game.
For instance, a customer might ask for a Preppy style jacket, with lyrca fabric, and a tartan print. Or they might simply ask for a top, dress, or trouser. That's when you can create with more freedom.
The game does have a bit of a crash bug. Actually the game sort of gets stuck. The shop won't close some days. It also won't let the player go to the main menu to save and quit some days. That requires a hard quit by closing the game window. I've lost a level a few times (one day in the retail store) that way, but I just pick it up later and do the day again. I'm not sure what causes the crash. But the game so far, still works later.
Wish list for the game, if they work on it in the future: Put the criteria on the screen while we work on a fashion show. Let us scale down or up the weave pattern on the types of fabric. For instance, the lace fabric has giant roses woven into it. Then if the customer wants a print with the lace, it can clash. Let us see the fabric and styles close up while we work. Let us zoom in and around. Put an image of the customer so we can match our creation to the rest of their outfit.
Let us dye the accessories, or change their texture. With the hoop earrings, it would be nice to make those silver, gold, or various colors. With the high heel shoes, it would be nice to have them in other shades than red. I'd like to dye all of the shoes and has to match the outfits. Let us use more than one fabric per garment. Let us have fabrics which can be different colors. There is a multi color floral print in the work room in the game. But we never get anything like that to make our clothing with. You can make the print and the fabric one different color each, but that's all.
Saving during the tutorial or even just after the tutorial would be nice. After the long tutorial, I had to also complete day one in the shop, before I could save game and quit. I was tired and that was not expected. Not a huge deal but would be better with a quick tutorial followed by a game save.
I've completed all the unlocked items and only have a few medals to still gain. After that I am not sure what happens. I've done all the fashion shows, and then it seems like it has just rotated them through again, with new themes. Which is okay. But I was not able to opt out of doing a fashion show. I would've liked to. Instead, not saying yes right away to the sim who asked, seems to have confused the game. It stuck at the end of the shop day. That's one way the game gets stuck. Sometimes if I click too fast it seems to also but, it could all be coincidental. It's not every shop day but maybe once a week or two, this happens and I have to redo a shop day.
There are 3 mini games to play each time you sew a new pattern. Cutting the pattern accurately, which requires placing a ruler or other instrument in the right place; clicking on the green area as a needle moves; and 'sewing' the seams together, which requires right and left mouse button clicks. They are do-able.
Overall a fun, playable game.

Okay game, graphics are a bit bland but enjoy the idea of designing new outfits. Frustrated about the occasional crashing though.

I really like making the outfits. I also like the way the models look in the outfits as they walk down the runaway. It is a very fun game. For some odd reason, I can no longer see my avi any more. I hope that I can see her again soon.

A shop tycoon style of game with happy customers no matter how beautiful or ugly your designed fashion items are. Like the customers in the game say: "Thank you for showing me this. I love it", this is how I feel about this game. Simple and relaxing experience. Recommended on sale with all the other games from the bundle.

This is a fun and easy game to play. It runs well on my computer with no problems. The mini games are easy to play and when you earn money , you can unlock new clothes and fun stuff to sew. The fashion show is great but i suggest that you buy this game on sale .

Although not perfect and repetitive, there is a lack of games in this genre for this target market, and it does give somewhat of a realistic sense whilst presented in a very basic way of the fashion industry.
I didn't play it long but decided not to refund because I wanted to support the developer to develop more games like this. And even though it could be improved and built upon, it does have potential to be a great title. The initial price point was a little high, but whilst its on sale its a good little time waster.
