Digital Version: Easy Dress Making Guide [Zero Waste Pattern]

We have published a book sharing step-by-step instructions for making the highly popular crisp easy-wear one-piece dress that is already a top-selling retail product.

We have released redesigned guides for constructing traditional garments passed down through the Itoshiro region, including designs for items such as Tatsuke and Hakama, categorized as our official Crafting Guide offerings.

We will continue this practice going forward, and we also wanted to share the garment construction methods we have newly designed based on our "straight-cut tailoring" foundation, so the first volume in the "Zero Waste Pattern" series is"How to make an Echizen blouse"We released an earlier title before, and this time, we have published our second book, "Quick & Easy One-Piece".

*This site is the digital edition.If you would like the paper print version, please view it here.

This relaxed, easy-to-wear one-piece dress is built around the core design concept from "How to Sew a Gathered Sleeve Haori Jacket". It is a generously cut dress featuring voluminous, full gathered sleeves.

This versatile design looks wonderful worn on its own in summer, and stays stylish even when layered up for winter. We also offer this design in other variations including tunic and short-sleeve styles, so you can enjoy exploring the full range of available options.

■ Production Story
Many people are surprised that we share such highly detailed, step-by-step instructions for making the core clothing items we design and sell as Itoshiro Apparel Store. We decided to publish these construction guides out of a desire to introduce more people to the wonderful traditional garments that have been passed down in the Itoshiro region.

Originally, we ourselves learned all these crafting skills freely and generously from the local grandmothers in our community. We want to pass this knowledge on to as many people as possible, and share the surprise and joy that comes when you finish making something, as well as the special delight of wearing clothing that you sewed entirely by hand.
