Vogue Tales

Gameplay Tips:
--------------
  Wendy can only carry one thing at a time so if you mess up (say you have a 
  pattern in your hand and you were supposed to pick up clothing instead) you 
  can either click on the pattern again and it will disappear or you can discard 
  it in the trash bin. 
  Although she only carries one item at a time, Wendy can also swap out items on 
  the ribbon/lace/fur machines only (NOT on cloth/patters/outfits). For example, 
  if you have a dress in your hand that needs lace and there’s already a dress 
  in the machine, just click on it and you’ll be holding the finished dress now 
  as the machine begins to work on the new dress. 
  Wendy doesn’t need to collect money or give impatient customers the magazines 
  so you can perform those actions while she’s doing other things. 
  The bolts of cloth are grouped in twos and from what I can tell; you can’t 
  attach a pattern to a bolt of cloth if the bolts right next to it is in use. 
  This doesn’t pose too much of a problem because each customer’s request tends 
  to point towards an accessible bolt of cloth. However, keep this in mind 
  anyway as you dress your mannequins. If you are making an extra dress and an 
  impatient customer comes in, you will have to make him/her wait. 
  You don’t get penalized for discarding garments but it does make everything 
  take longer so if you’re having trouble getting used to the gameplay, save 
  your mannequin for mistakes first – That way you have a chance to make up for 
  a mistake by earning $$ 

Patience is a Virtue:
---------------------
The customers are rather patient in this game and you should have no problem 
serving them all (as long as you don’t screw up). Lucky for you, there is a 
stack of Fashion Magazines that you can give to your customers to make them 
happy. Don’t bother questioning why there are high-fashion glossy mags in 
medieval times… just go with it.
  Oddly enough, these magazines seem to work on both men and women. 
  Once the stack of magazines runs down, it replenishes itself rather quickly 
  the first time around but gets slower each time you go through the stack. 
  Don’t be afraid to use them to maximize your tips in the early rounds. 
  There are plenty of other ways to increase customer patience as the game 
  progresses as well. (See “Upgrades�) 

TIP: I noticed that you’ll have more chances to sell extra clothes off the 
mannequins if you don’t embellish them. For example, if you have a yellow dress 
and the customer wants lace, you can pop the dress into the lace machine and 
save time… but if the customer simply wants a yellow dress, Voila! You have one 
ready!

Upgrades:
---------
This game has quite a few upgrades for both the shop (Decorations) and the 
output (patterns, cloth, etc.)
Note: Since it took me a little while to get used to the gameplay flow, I spent 
more $$ upgrading the shop than I did adding more patterns and bolts of cloth. 

This seemed to work well.
  Shop upgrades are fairly inexpensive and add greatly to both your customer’s 
  patience level and the amount of tips you receive. 
  You can proceed nicely through the game without adding all the patterns at 
  once. This helps you get a better feel for the flow as well and makes it less 
  confusing. 
  There are also “Automatic Upgrades� that occur in the game. For example: Wendy 
  receives a new pair of shoes that make her go faster and the male mannequin 
  suddenly appears at the beginning of the second level. 
  NOTE: Since the first level is always the easiest, try not to purchase too 
  many decorations. You have to re-purchase them in every new shop anyway, so 
  try saving some of that money instead for when you’ll really need it. 

Keep your hat on!:
------------------
The game also has a “Hat Stand� it comes with one women’s hat (you have to buy 
the rest).
