Paper Pattern: How to Make a Simple Dress [Zero Waste Pattern]

We have published a book that walks you through making the popular crisp easy-wear one-piece dress, which is already a fan-favorite best-selling product as a standalone item.

We have released redesigned versions of traditional clothing-making techniques passed down in Itoshiro, including for garments such as Tatsuke and Hakama, published as official construction guides.

We will continue that practice going forward, but we also wanted to share the clothing construction methods we have newly designed around straight-line cutting, so the first volume in our "Zero Waste Pattern" series is"How to Make an Echizen Blouse"We previously released an earlier title, and have now published our second book, "Quick & Easy One-Piece Dresses".

This lightweight, easy-to-style one-piece dress uses the core design principles from the "How to Sew a Gathered Sleeve Haori" guide as its foundational concept. It is a generously cut, roomy one-piece dress featuring wide, flowing gathered sleeves.

This design looks wonderful worn on its own in summer, and remains stylish even when layered up for winter. We also offer this style in additional variations including tunic length and short sleeve cuts, so you can enjoy exploring its full range of versatile lineup options.

■ Production Story
Many people are surprised that we publicly share such detailed, step-by-step instructions for making the core clothing items we produce and sell as Itoshiro Apparel Store. We chose to release these construction guides out of a desire to help more people learn about the exceptional beauty of traditional garments passed down through generations in Itoshiro.

Originally, we learned all of these skills freely and generously from the grandmothers in our local community. We want to pass this knowledge on to as many people as possible, and share the surprise and joy you feel when you finish creating something, as well as the wonderful satisfaction of wearing clothes you made with your own hands.
