About this gameFull description from Steam
Choose fabric, arrange and cut out patterns, sew garments and add decorations. Dressmaker is a cozy simulation game where every part of making a dress is under your control. Whether your pattern is aligned to the grain or cut on bias, how you choose to arrange and cut out your fabric is what appears on the final dress. Take full control over what fabric to use for each panel of your garment. Feed your fabric through the sewing machine to stitch it together. Decorate your dress with buttons, bows and appliqué. Add lace trims and other accessories wherever you like with complete creative freedom. Meet a whole town of people hoping to fill their wardrobes with custom-made dresses tailored specially to important events and their individual tastes. Create dresses to impress them, or display your own designs in your shop window and sell pre-made dresses off of the rack. Buy from a wide range of fabrics, including cotton, linen, wool, silk and velvet. Design and colour your dress in your sketchbook, adding fabric samples and appliqué. Arrange and cut out your dress pattern, preview them on a mannequin and sew them together. Turn in your dresses to your customers to gain both reputation and coin. Pet the kitty.
