I don't know how many hundreds of games I've played over the years (in lots of genres), but this game is far and away one of the best. Although the graphics are now out of date, that doesn't take away from the fun of the game, where you alternate between designing clothing and dressing models with the clothing you created. If that sounds familiar, believe me no other game does it like this.
For one thing, you can choose how much you want to design clothes or just play the dressing game. I get hooked on designing a wardrobe that mixes and matches for each level. I have to rate it down for the outdated graphics, but this is one of the games I've stuck with over the years and never get tired of.
I so wish some developer would recreate this game with updated graphics, but it seems as if nowadays they just want to make dumbed-down games that all follow the same formula rather than updating the unique classic games we fell in love with.
I recommend this game!

I can't say enough good things about this game. Some solitaire games look cheap and the gameplay gets boring. This one is the opposite--each level is unique, the graphics are beautiful, and there is an interesting historical story. (And I'm not even a fan of stories in games.) There is even a separate dress-up game based on this, the graphics are that good. (Google it.)
I recommend this game!

I really liked this game, and I was playing on zen level with no competitors. (I don't like to compete with other players, but the game also has that aspect, if you want it.) I'd describe this as a combination of a tycoon/business game and hidden objects, both really well done. After you find the objects in the category that is hot that day, you have to haggle to buy the items and then decide how much to sell them for. I would definitely recommend giving this game a try and see if you like it. It's one of the most interesting new games I have seen lately.
I recommend this game!

This game is a little masterpiece. If you like this type of game (rebuilding a persistent world), be sure to check it out. The faery land and its inhabitants are beautifully rendered in graphics and movement. The characters have a complex mix of strengths and preferences that leads to much more interesting gameplay than is usual in this type of game.
I recommend this game!

If you like solitaire games, check this one out. No bells and whistles, just a charming game, with lovely, relaxing graphics, sound effects, and music--all beautifully designed to take you back to a simpler time. An original theme, and very well done. Kudos to the devs.
