Free sewing pattern and instructions for a box pleat skirt, a style often seen in cosplay costume designs.
There are generally two construction methods for box pleat skirts: one uses separate fabric for the pleats, and the other creates pleats with darts and folds.
This pattern is the basic type made with darts and folds.
It features two box pleats at the front and two at the back for a balanced silhouette.
The skirt length is drafted slightly longer, so you can shorten the pattern when making cosplay costumes or adjust it to your preferred style.
After printing, align the sheets along the dotted lines, paste them together, and cut along the outline.
The paper pattern includes a seam allowance (S/A), so it is ready to use without adding extra margins.
