Three-person studio's dressmaking sim Dressmaker launches on Steam with 96% positive reviews and 12,500 peak concurrent players

Dressmaker, a dressmaking simulation developed by Cozy Lives and published by Free Lives, launched on Steam on September 22, covering the full process from fabric selection and pattern-making to cutting and sewing. It ranked eighth on the global bestseller chart on launch day, hit a peak of 12,500 concurrent players on Steam, and holds a 96% positive rating across 1,455 reviews. Players praise its tailoring theme and relaxing tone but point to an incomplete tutorial, a pattern library mostly limited to dresses, and stiff controls.
