Hakama Skirt Free Paper pattern & How to make DRCOS

Comments are made using translation software.

This is a pattern for a skirt with hakama-style pleats, which has been requested frequently.

It's recommended as a base pattern for cosplay costumes, such as anime characters.

Typically, the pleats are pressed with an iron for finishing, and the skirt is worn by tying it with a string. This eliminates the zipper process that beginners may find difficult, making it quite easy to make.

Because of its simple structure, adjusting the length should also be easy.

After printing, paste it according to the pasting line,Cut and use.

The pattern has a seam allowance, so it can be used as is.
