Swallowtail Free Paper pattern & How to make DRCOS

Comments are made using translation software.

This is a simplified pattern for a tailcoat.

The chest pocket is a dummy pocket, and there is no lining for simplicity.

As the tail portion is made extremely long, it's not intended for formal party use.

Mainly, it's for use in events such as cosplay, stage costumes, dance costumes, fancy dress, Halloween, etc.

If you desire a lining, I've marked the facing line, so you can create a lining pattern from there.

Since the front design is open, there is some flexibility in sizing, but

During pattern drafting, I've slimmed it down a bit, so if you plan to layer underneath, it's recommended to go one size up.

The collar is also made quite narrow, so if you're concerned, feel free to make it wider.

After printing, paste it according to the pasting line,Cut and use.

The pattern has a seam allowance, so it can be used as is.
