A pattern, a variant and a panel are three different things. The counts above are the structure behind the catalogue, not a marketing number.
Game data build 25482629. Panel counts, style contributions, fabric use and unlock sources are read from the game, not written by hand.
Browse patterns by type
Every pattern belongs to one of four garment parts. Pick a shelf to narrow the finder — these are filters, not separate pages.

Find patterns by style
A style narrows the finder to the patterns that raise it, strongest contribution first.
These chips filter the list above. To raise a style on a whole dress, read the style guides instead.
Style guidesCompare pattern variants
Different variants of the same pattern can have different panel counts, panel areas and fabric usage. The Sketchbook shows one variant; the pattern ships the rest.

| Variant | Panels | Bias panels | Grain | Fabric use |

Read from game data build 25482629: each variant carries its own panel count, panel areas and cloth estimate. The finder sorts on the first cut, which is the one the Sketchbook starts you on.

When patterns unlock
Every pattern on this page can be obtained. The game data documents three ways to get one.
Available from the start
40 patterns are there from the first day of the save, ready to cut with no requirement at all.
Relationship unlock
117 patterns arrive with a customer's relationship level, from level 2 up to level 5. Open a pattern to see who hands it over.
Unlock source not documented
The game data documents no acquisition route for 21 patterns. They are listed with their real parts, panels and style contributions, and their unlock state says so rather than guessing one.
Panel explorer
Pick a pattern and a variant to see the panels it actually cuts — how each one is laid on the cloth, and how much of the cut it takes.
The catalogue states 1,871 panels across 236 variants of 178 patterns, and 77 of those panels are flagged as cut on the bias.
- 12 panels
- 11 bias panels
- Fabric use: High
- Grain: Mixed
| Panel | Grain | Bias | Share of cut |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skirt Tier 1 Back | Bias | Bias cut | 8% |
| Skirt Tier 1 Back Right | Bias | Bias cut | 6% |
| Skirt Tier 1 Front | Bias | Bias cut | 8% |
| Skirt Tier 1 Left Back | Bias | Bias cut | 3% |
| Skirt Tier 1 Front Left | Bias | Bias cut | 3% |
| Skirt Tier 1 Front Right | Bias | Bias cut | 7% |
| Skirt Tier 2 Back | Straight grain | Straight | 10% |
| Skirt Tier 2 Back Right | Bias | Bias cut | 15% |
| Skirt Tier 2 Front | Bias | Bias cut | 10% |
| Skirt Tier 2 Left Back | Bias | Bias cut | 6% |
| Skirt Tier 2 Front Left | Bias | Bias cut | 7% |
| Skirt Tier 2 Front Right | Bias | Bias cut | 16% |
Panel shares are read from the extracted meshes, so they describe the model rather than anything the game prints. Grain direction and bias are two different fields and they disagree on some panels — not every panel uses the same orientation.

Not sure how to use these in game? The Sketchbook is where a pattern, a variant and a colour become a dress.

The estimate behind the fabric use band, variant by variant.
Fabric usage guide
Pattern, variant, panel: three different things
The catalogue only makes sense if these stay apart. A pattern is what you pick, a variant is how it is cut, and a panel is what actually lands on the cloth.
01
Pattern
The reusable garment component you choose in the Sketchbook.
02
Variant
A version of that pattern with its own panel structure.
03
Panel
An individual piece that is placed on fabric and cut.
Official scale vs this database
The developer describes the full game as containing more than 150 dress pieces. This database uses the game's own extracted entity structure, where 178 patterns, 236 variants and 1,871 panels are counted as separate things, so the two numbers are not the same measurement and should not be treated as equivalent.
Where this page's data comes from
Nothing on this page is written by hand. Each part of the table is read from one place in the game's own data:
- Pattern names
- Official in-game localization
- Pattern previews
- Extracted game assets
- Variants and panels
- Game pattern definitions
- Unlock requirements
- Character relationship definitions
- Style contributions
- The game's own additive tag weights
- Fabric usage and panel share
- Extracted panel meshes

Patterns in Dressmaker
A dress is built from four kinds of pattern — a bodice, a skirt, a pair of sleeves and a collar — and the one you pick decides the shape of the piece rather than its colour or cloth. This page is the whole set, filtered by the four things that actually change a decision: which part it cuts, which styles it helps, how much cloth the base variant needs, and whether it is within reach yet.
Style contributions are the game's own additive weights, and they can be negative: a pattern that fights a style carries it at a minus. A card shows the two strongest contributions in either direction, which is why a Gothic bodice does not read like a plain formal one. The full profile, and every construction variant a pattern ships, belong to the pattern's own page.
Fabric use is grouped into Low, Medium and High, cut at the thirds of the real distribution across all 178 patterns. The band is the answer to the question a player is asking; the exact estimate is what the fabric calculator is for, and here it only decides the order of a sort.
Construction is the other half of the choice. Panel count and whether the base variant cuts any panel on the bias both change how a piece hangs, and both are stated as facts of the pattern rather than as a judgement about it — a six-panel skirt is not worse than a two-panel one, it is different work.
Dressmaker pattern questions
How many patterns are in Dressmaker?
178 patterns: 40 available from the start, 117 behind a relationship level, and 21 whose acquisition the game data does not document.
How do I find a pattern for one part of a dress?
Use the garment tabs above the grid — Bodice, Skirt, Sleeve and Collar — or tick a part in the filters. The number on each tab is the size of that shelf, so the tab is also a statement about how much there is to look through.
What do the style numbers on a pattern mean?
They are the weights the game adds to a dress for using that pattern. A positive number raises the dress's score for that style and a negative one lowers it. Two strong contributions are the fastest way to lift two styles at once, and fabric that leans the same way does the rest.
Which patterns use the least fabric?
Sort by fabric use, or filter to Low. The band is cut at the thirds of the distribution across all 178 patterns, so Low is a third of the catalogue rather than a fixed number of cloth units — a sleeve is not compared against a ball skirt in the same breath.
Can I filter patterns by unlock status?
Yes. Available from the start, Relationship unlock and Unlock source not documented are the three states the game data can prove, and each shows how many patterns sit behind it. How far along a particular relationship is stays a question for that character's page.
