Design Centre

Style Boutique 3 has an excellent new feature that allows players to post their clothing designs online for other players to download. This feature is called Design Centre and provides access to a variety of looks designed by players in your region.

The Design Centre is region-locked the same way Shopdo is meaning you can only search and download items uploaded by players in the same region as you. If you search for a Shopdo Owner ID of a player in a different region to you, the game will display 'Not Found' after searching. The following points detail what content you can access in regards to the region your game is:

• Style Boutique: Styling Star = Can only access Shopdo & Owner ID's from other players in the EUR/AUS region who are playing Style Boutique. Cannot access Style Savvy or Girls Mode players.
• Style Savvy: Styling Star = Can only access Shopdo & Owner ID's from other players in the NA region who are playing Style Savvy. Cannot access Style Boutique or Girls Mode players.
• Girls Mode 4: スター☆スタイリスト (Star☆Stylist) = Can only access Shopdo & Owner ID's from other players in the JPN region who are playing Girls Mode. Cannot access Style Boutique or Style Savvy players.

Design Centre can be accessed via the phone menu and requires an internet connection to use. When you select the Design Centre app, the game will inform you that your items, profile and Owner ID will be made public to other players. Your profile card can be edited via the Contacts App and displays basic information about your character. When enter the Design Centre app, there are a number of options available: 

• Recent
• Popular Pieces
• Just For You
• Favourites
• Enter Owner ID
• Enter Item ID
• Search Criteria
• Post Item
• My Page

Design Centre Menu Screen.

Recent
Select this item to see items that were recently uploaded to Design Centre by players. It will show you items that have been uploaded to the Design Centre database by anyone in your region. Often you'll see the same person posting multiple times if they uploaded a lot of items at once. Each item will have the number of items included in the set listed as well as a price.

If you are interested in purchasing an item on the Design Centre, select the item/set and select Buy. The game will save after you purchase an item and all items are payed for using your in-game money. You can find items you have downloaded in your wardrobe at the apartment or a complete list of all the items brought can be found in the Design Scrapbook under the Design option at the apartment. You can also delete items from here.

Popular Pieces
Showcases items that have been downloaded many times on the Design Centre. I've rarely seen this section change for months in the Style Boutique region. Items here have high download numbers and low prices that make them so popular.

Popular Pieces on the Design Centre.

Just For You
This option will bring up items that are similar to ones you have uploaded yourself or downloaded previously. It may show you similar ones to items you have posted, for example I saw a dress similar to one I posted.

Favourites
Items from players you have added to your favourites in Shopdo will appear here. Select this option and a list of your favourited players will appear. Select a player to see if they have posted an item to the Design Centre.

Enter Owner ID
You can search for players using their Owner ID if you know it from Shopdo. This is a great way to look at designs from players you follow on social media or have seen on Shopdo. The game will display all the items that the player has posted to the Design Centre. Please note you can only look up players from the same region as you.


Enter Item ID
If you know the Item ID of an item you wish to download, you can enter the ID in this option to take you directly to the item. This is a handy feature when you have seen an Item ID on social media or on a website.

Search Criteria
If you are after a certain item such as shoes or a purple polka dot dress, you can put in search criteria to bring up all the items that feature those things. You can select the type of item you are after and the only items available are the ones you can design in the game, i.e. stage costumes and bags. Select colour to look for a specific colour and pattern brings up all the patterns you can use when designing clothes, i.e. heart lace and check. Amiibo designs can also be inputted as a search criteria and you can download items from players that include amiibo exclusive designs. You cannot alter the design yourself and it will just come as the player has posted it.

Post Item
Ready to add your own designer items to the Design Centre? Well it's super quick and easy! Select the Post Item option and the screen will bring up all the items you have designed in the game (excluding shopping bags as they are not able to be posted). You can either post a single item or multiple items in a set. For example if you've created a stage costume, you can post all the items together as a set.

Select an item to upload onto the Design Centre.

Select the item you are wanting to upload online and select OK. The game will then give you the option to give the item/set a name and set a price. You can set any price you wish starting from $00,000. Be mindful when setting prices though and don't use Design Centre to gain easy money. I've seen items posted for $99,999 which were just a basic purple dress, so try not to do that. The cheaper your item is, the more likely players would be interested in downloading it. Most items listed in the Popular section have low prices. Select Post to upload your item and the game will then save.

Set a price for your item.

My Page
You can use the My Page option to view all the items you have available for download. The game can only show a few items at a time so you need to select Next Page to view more pages of items. The game will display the items/sets available along with their prices on the bottom 3DS screen. The top screen will show the item with the following information: Item/Set name, Designer, Item ID and number of times downloaded. You can also delete items from the Design Centre by selecting them in the My Page section and selecting Delete.
