Quick question about this: I have the TIY store and I'm pretty sure I've spent around 100 000 bells in there now - I havent kept a strict record but I know I must be close like now. Does Grace only show up after I've spent 100 000 bells in there or could she arrive before then? I've been looking out for her for a while but haven't seen her yet and I play most days at the moment. It's also been about 50 days since my last store upgrade.
 
As far as I have read on forums and stuff, she begins to show up in your town after you have spent 70,000 bells, you need to spend 100,000 for her store to open after the four fashion check, just keep looking she is a rare appear, thats why a lot of people, including myself did the Time travel back for the four checks in a row.

Oh ok. Thank you. I'll keep my eyes open for her! By time travel back, do you mean that she appearered on a certain day so youtt'd to that day 4 times because you knew she would be there then??
(Hope that makes sense - I know what I'm trying to say!!!)
 
Yes, that exactly what you do, If she appeared today, you only pass the fashion check, then save, TT back to yesterday, save on that that day, and TT back to today, she should be there and should give you another fashion check challenge, just be careful if you dont want to lose any villager or flowers.

And just for you to know, you can do the same with other random visitors, Redd and Sahara confirmed, I havent really tried with Guilliver.
 
Also! Make sure those 70k-100k bells were spent in-store. Ordering from the catalog doesn't count!
 
I can attest to her being rare. I've had the game for ever a year and I still haven't managed to get all of the fashion checks. I think I've seen her twice.
 
Yeah, Gracie's appearances can be a real pain. Just pass her check, TT back to 5:59 AM, wait for Isabelle's announcement of "Let's see what this day has in store for us," or whatever she says, then go to your Plaza and The Gracie will be there! Rinse and repeat.
 
Ooh, I actually read somewhere that you don't have to have spent 100k bells? I haven't been able to confirm this officially though. :-/ Also, yep, Gracie's checks come super randomly. My first three checks were several weeks, maybe almost months, apart, and then right after my third check I got my fourth within a week. What the heck Gracie.
 
Oh, goodness...I've never had this happen, but DON'T FORGET that TT'ing backwards counts as one day forward in the game. Don't let any of your villagers move! Don't lose a dreamie just because of Gracie, so you may want to check out if anyone is moving before you TT back to pass her 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Fashion Check.
 
Thanks guys. Some really helpful tips there that I hadn't thought about before. I'll sit tight for now and wait for her to show up then do some careful tt-ing when she does!!
