Gameplay
Gameplay involves running a fashion boutique that is bequeathed to the player by their uncle Tim. The player is responsible for choosing fashion items or full outfits that fit the specifications given by the customer.[4][5][6] If the player's choices fit the customer's requests, the customer will purchase the item or items and build a relationship with the player over time through these transactions. The money received by the player can be used to buy more stock items for the boutique, or can be spent on hair, makeup, nails, or other miscellaneous items for the player's home or store. The player can also direct clothing, hair, makeup, and nail styling for customers of neighboring salons or boutiques, including a menswear shop.
Using the player's in-game cell phone, one can access online capabilities of the game, including an online store-front and an online market where players can sell custom-designed clothing pieces to other players. The in-game cell phone also features capabilities such as the ability to text characters to invite them to visit the boutique, salon, or beautician for a re-styling, among other features.
