Fashion Designer
What's It About?
In FASHION DESIGNER, players become the owner of a fashion boutique. Players accept jobs to make dresses for clients by incorporating the features they ask for, such as making the dress strapless, using a certain color palette, or incorporating specific designs like geometric shapes. Once a design is finished, players can see how it looks on a female model performing different animated poses. Dresses put on display can earn positive ratings and Design Cred from other players, which unlocks new \"Looks\" and jobs. Dresses can also be displayed for other players to view and rate, and sold in the player's MallWorld store.
Is It Any Good?
Fashion Designer boasts hundreds of color palettes, dress kits, graphic prints, and accessories to choose from to create thousands of fresh and attractive styles. As is typical of most Facebook games, however, certain exclusive wardrobe pieces can only be purchased with Facebook Credits, so players' choices are somewhat limited unless they're willing to pay real money. Fashion Designer is a colorful and stylish supplement to MallWorld, but also stands on its own as a fun social game for budding fashionistas.
