This is a sewing pattern for the oversized hoodie requested by our users.
Please note that its measurements are not intended for normal everyday clothing.
The sleeves are extremely long from the neckline to the cuffs, so the hands will not extend beyond the sleeve openings.
The sleeves are also very wide, and the bodice becomes wider toward the hem.
The garment length is also much longer than expected, so please check the measurements carefully before purchasing.
The hood has a special rounded shape that is different from a standard hood.
The neckline and bust are drafted for each size, but all other parts are intentionally oversized.
This pattern is designed mainly as a base for cosplay costumes and may be difficult to use for other purposes.
Only basic sewing instructions are included with the pattern.
After printing, align the pages along the guide lines, paste them together, and cut out the pattern pieces. Seam allowances are included, so you can use the pattern as-is.
