What the game is
From the first sketch to the last stitch
Dressmaker is a cozy, single-player crafting game about making dresses—not simply dressing an avatar. Customer requests lead into measurement, planning, fabric choice, pattern layout, cutting, sewing, decorating, and delivery.
The full game is on Steam. Itch.io hosts an older Prototype 0.5.5, which is useful for trying an earlier build but should not be treated as the same version.
