Dress Shop gives you the ideal solution for a custom fit so you can create the wardrobe of your dreams. Sew for yourself or your entire family. Our pattern software was designed for everyone from casual home sewers to professional dressmakers and tailors. Dress Shop gives you a wide range of assorted patterns, each with dozens of design options, which can be combined in almost unlimited ways. Styles include dresses, blouses, pants, skirts, jackets, coats, vests and more. You can utilize up to 57 measurements to assure a great fit, every time!

Getting started with Dress Shop is simple. Pick a standard size that’s built into the program. Sizes for women, men, boys, girls, and toddlers are included. Choose the pattern you want, with design options such as neckline, collar, closure, sleeve or length, and watch your patterns draft right on the screen. You will immediately see the effects of your choices on Mia, our on-screen pattern model. Dress Shop lets you view your designs in various fabric prints and colors. If you have your own scanner, you can scan in your own fabrics into the program to see your fabric in your designs. A built-in layout tool helps plan and calculate the needed yardage, with options for nap, bias, plaids, stripes and border prints. Print your full size patterns on your regular printer. Match marks help you easily tape together pages as needed.

Created in 1991 (click here for some history) to be simple and easy to use, Dress Shop is fun, fast and easy, whether you sew for yourself, your family, or others. The program lets you put your own fashion flair into every garment, even if you have no training as a pattern drafter or designer. Express your creativity and individuality with every garment you make. With your patterns drafted to your size or your personal custom measurements, you know your customized patterns will fit.

View your garment before printing your pattern. Select your pattern, options, and fabric colors and textures. Click on options such as collars, closures, sleeve styles, and lengths. Your choices appear instantly and are modeled for you on your computer screen. 


 

Simple drop down menu selections and check boxes guide you through pattern choices and options. See your selections modeled on-screen as you step through the program.

Up to 59 measurements assure you of comfort and the ability to tailor your garments for the most accurate fit possible. Measure as few or many as you like. The easy Measurement Wizard will build you a short-cut chart from just a few starting measurements that you can then tune as needed.


 

The layout tool helps you optimize your use of fabric so you won’t have to buy more than you need. It shows you how to “tile” your pattern sheets and how to lay them out on your fabric for maximum efficiency and economy.
