How do I design clothing in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

Disney Dreamlight Valley has many awesome features to check out and one of these is the ability to customise or design your clothes. This will make you look unique in your playthrough and have more customisations to choose from.

First, you will need to click on the wardrobe. Look for the categories tab and select the customise option. Just press 'add new', which will reveal a different screen that will offer the option to let you decide which type of clothing you would like to design.

You can add up to 50 layers to a design, so there is huge customisation potential. It is really up to you what to add, like stamps, food, nature, magic, flowers, shapes, objects, and many more. You can even change its size and rotate it. You can then save that design and finish it later, or delete it if you change your mind.

How do I open my wardrobe in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

First of all, you'll need to complete the guided tutorial before you can change clothes in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

This is fortunately quite self-explanatory, as you bump into the bumbling wizard Merlin, and he introduces you to your thorn-infested home. Once you've gotten rid of those spiky weeds, the game opens up a lot more.

Once you've got full control, simply tap Y on Xbox or the triangle on Playstation controllers, or X on Nintendo Switch controller, to bring up your inventory. You'll see three main tabs: inventory, wardrobe, and furniture. Scroll down one place to wardrobe, and it pulls up all the clothing options at your disposal.

How do I get more clothes in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

It may not come as a surprise that you can't go about unlocking new clothes straight away. Instead, you'll have to grind out a few quests before the marketplace opens and you can spend your hard-earned coins.

Leave your house and head to the nearest building to it: the decrepit home of one Scrooge McDuck.

Chat to him and he'll offer to sell you items, provided you run a few errands for him. The first one requires you to help Goofy reopen his stall on the other side of the Valley. The more of these tasks you do for Scrooge, the more items of clothing he'll have, ready to sell to you.
