Dressmaker Utility and Gameplay Mods

What these mods change

Utility and interface mods leave your dresses alone and change the tools around them. Mods filed under Gameplay can change how the game itself plays. The mod loader itself also has optional settings of that kind, including a sandbox mode with unlimited funds. If you want the game as designed, stick to the utility and interface entries.
