On all the other PF games to get your medals you have to just submit your scores, but on Dress Shop Hop it has a choice-submit score & submit medals. Do you have to submit both to get medals? If it is both which one first?

Not a dumb question...it is starnge...
I don't know why it is like that or if it matters, but I submitted my scores first.

okay...so I can't type ;)  that should be "strange"

Thanks. I submitted the scores then the medals & it worked. Can't get expert on the last few levels no matter what. Any ideas?

No, I just finished it last night and am far from expert on the last half of it.  Everything I've read says you can go back and get all the upgrades you couldn't afford before, but you've probably already done all that. If you don't already, then try keeping the same dress on the rack and the mannequin and make another as soon as you see one of the characters who always orders from one of those places.  Just put the angry teens on the platform and let the poof away if you have to .  You don't lose any points and get the color match bonus up.  Hope you make it!
