Dress Shop sewing software automatically drafts custom fitted patterns for sewing.

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.
