Dressmaker brings a niche craft-sim focus to Steam, with a detailed tailoring process inspired by real workshops, and its September 2026 release window gives the developer a year to finalize features and localization.

Cozy Lives revealed Dressmaker, a craft simulation game about running a tailoring shop and making vintage-style clothing, for a September 2026 release on Steam. A trailer accompanied the announcement. Players choose fabrics, adjust patterns, sew on a vintage machine, and decorate garments to fulfill orders from townspeople.
The game casts players as a dressmaker operating a small tailoring shop. Garment creation starts with selecting from fabrics like cotton, linen, wool, silk, and velvet. Adjusting patterns and deciding how to place and cut them on the fabric changes the finished garment's shape. Players can also deliberately make poorly crafted pieces for fun. A vintage sewing machine is used to stitch cut pieces together, with options to choose thread colors and add decorations such as buttons, ribbons, appliqués, and lace trims.
Townspeople appear seeking clothing for personal preferences and events. Delivering requested garments earns reputation and money. Players can also display self-designed clothes in the shop window and sell them as ready-made items. The Steam store page is in Japanese, but the game currently does not support Japanese display, leaving localization details open.
