This is a free sewing pattern for a long-sleeve fitted dress with side darts and waist darts, designed to create a clean, flattering silhouette. The pattern is slightly relaxed in fit, making it versatile for various projects such as everyday wear, stage costumes, or cosplay outfits. For a more tailored look—especially for cosplay—it is recommended to take in the pattern slightly at the waist or sides.
The dress features classic dart shaping, which enhances body contours while maintaining comfort. You can also modify the neckline, sleeve length, or skirt shape to match your design vision. The pattern comes with a built-in seam allowance (S/A) for convenience, so you can start cutting and sewing immediately after printing. Simply align the joining lines on the printed sheets, cut along the outlines, and you are ready to sew.
This pattern is ideal for intermediate beginners who want to try dressmaking with darts, as well as for experienced sewists seeking a solid base pattern to customize for different styles. Perfect for handmade fashion, school cultural festival costumes, and creative projects that require a fitted dress foundation.
The production process is explained with translation software.
