Fashion Show - Five Star Outfit - Girly Theme

In Style Boutique 2/Style Savvy 3, you can hold fashion shows and walk on the catwalk as a model. There are a variety of fashion show themes to choose from and once you have sold enough tickets to hold the show, you get to choose the outfit you wish to wear in the show as well as your make-up and hairstyle.

At the end of each fashion show, the game awards you a rating out of five based on how well your overall outfit matched the theme of the show. For a detailed guide on themes and taking part in fashion shows, please refer to the Fashion Show guide. The game does not give you hints at what specific style will fit the theme and bases your final score on how well your outfit, hairstyle and makeup matches the theme. Multiple styles fall under each category and you need to pick the one you feel best matches the theme.

This guide will look an outfit that received a five star rating. The theme for this fashion show was 'Snow Princess' and was the red heart theme icon on the theme menu screen. The venue used was the first venue on the venue list which is the orange hued one with the black handbag and make-up display.

Now for the outfit. The clothing items used to create this outfit were:

• Marzipan Sky - Check Maxi Dress
• Marzipan Sky - Flower Pumps
• Marzipan Sky - Fancy Flower Bag
• Marzipan Sky - Clover Pendant
• Marzipan Sky - Floral Bunny Headband

The hairstyle used is the plaited pigtails with the plaited fringe (left side). The make-up set used was the Sweet Silk set with the default colours (no adjustments made to the set).

After selecting ok after the outfit menu screen, Laurie provided a hint that the outfit fitted the girly/dainty theme of the fashion show.

Next it was time to hit the catwalk! Here's some screenshots of my character modelling the five star outfit. Be sure the click the effects buttons when taking part in fashion shows as they help hype up audience interest.

Time to see the final score. The outfit fitted perfectly with the princess theme and received five stars. The tricky part with achieving five star outfits is matching the hair and make-up to the theme. A good tip is to pick make-up sets with a good colour palette and match the feel/colour of your clothing items.

After this, Ricky and Laurie will talk to your about your performance. If you have an outfit that is 3 stars or higher, they will usually give you praise. For this five star outfit, the following conversation occurred.

Other NPC's will appear as well giving you feedback about your outfit. Callie talked about how cute my hairstyle was and Sophie commented on how cute my outfit was. Ricky will appear afterwards and give you a miniature item as a gift. You do not receive a special miniature for achieving five stars. I received a food item that I already had from previous fashion shows.

Character Descriptions - Part 1

In Style Boutique 2/Style Savvy 3, the characters you will encounter in the game have been given some rather amusing character descriptions. When you click on a NPC, it will bring up a preview of the character and some information about them. It will display their name and some brief information about their personality or hobbies. Some of the profile descriptions are pretty normal, but there are quite a few silly or ridiculous ones.

Here are a few examples of the amusing character descriptions of some of the NPC's in Style Boutique 2/Style Savvy 3. More posts to come as there seems to be an abundance of these in the game.

Boutique - Callie Outfit Request

Throughout the game, the main NPC's will visit your boutique to request new outfits. Some characters request new outfits for an event or as their normal outfit they wear in game. Each character has their own personal style and a list of each characters style can be found here.

Local fashion model and it-girl Callie will visit your boutique requesting a new outfit to wear as her normal outfit. She will talk about how she has noticed people becoming more fashionable but she wants to be the reigning queen of fashion and needs a new outfit.

Callie's personal style is bold and will usually wear items from the AZ-USA brand. Select the image 'bold' and design an outfit based around this style. Remember to choose clothing items appropriate for the season, i.e. you cannot wear just a tank top in winter as the character will remark how they will get cold. Each character will have a budget you will need to stay within and you can go slightly over the budget by about $80. Once you are happy with the outfit, select Ok.

You can select either 'Try It On' or 'Take A Look' when showing the character the outfit you have chosen. Select the 'Try It On' option if you are confident they will like the outfit or if you select 'Take A Look', you will get 3 tries to try to impress the character with an outfit. 

If you chose 'Try It On' and the character is highly impressed with the outfit, the game will play a short animation showing the character in their new outfit. The background of the animation changes depending on the style the character is wearing.

Looks like Callie is impressed with her new outfit. She will tell you what aspects she likes about it and usually will comment on how bold it is. During this scene, characters will give you hints on the styles and colours that they look for in an outfit. Callie is a fan of bold outfits, but likes minimal looking pieces such as this green jacket and lack of accessories.

After this, Callie will pay you for the outfit and the amount is added to your money in-game. She will comment on how she deserves praise for the outfit and invite you to take a walk with her. She will invite you to meet her at Bougainville which can be accessed via the train station. You do not need to meet her immediately and can visit whenever you like. When visiting Bougainville with Callie, she will ask to take a photo with you and give you a miniature item as a gift.

Amiibo Items - Inky Leggings

Style Boutique 2 has amiibo compatibility and unlocks special items for your character to wear. There are a number of amiibos available to scan into the game and when scanned, it generates a character based off the mii registered to the amiibo. A guide on how to use amiibos, compatible amiibos and the unlockable items can be found here.

You can obtain colour variations of certain amiibo items. To unlock amiibo items in different colours, you must first unlock the initial colour of the item (shown in the images in the amiibo guide). After this, keep re-scanning the amiibo until the character shows up in a new outfit. Different styles are associated to different colours, ie the black/yellow Yoshi Hoodie falls under the rock style so the customer will request a rock outfit. There are 5 different colours of each amiibo item to unlock.

Here are the five different colours of the Inky Leggings which can be obtained by scanning the Inkling Girl amiibo.

Japanese New Years DLC Set

Last year, a special New Years themed DLC set was released for Girls Mode 3 (the Japanese version of Style Boutique 2 and Style Savvy 3). This set is a Japan exclusive DLC set and has yet to be released for the western versions of the game. It is unlikely it will be released as many of the Japanese DLC sets have not been released even though the games have been out for over a year in Europe/Australia and a few months in North America.

The set features a beautiful New Year themed Yukata and a Mount Fuji themed wall for decorating rooms at the Caprice Chalet. The Yukata is part of the Kanokoi brand and features a fashion themed design based off the Girls Mode artwork.
