This is a pattern and instructions for making a maid outfit using only buttons, designed for those who struggle with zipper processes.
Based on a princess one-piece design with no front zipper, the collar is a flat collar sandwiched in the facing, and the apron's back portion is a simple pattern with buttons or Velcro.
We've designed the pattern with consideration for a clean line around the chest area for the apron.
The sleeves are also designed as bell sleeves to enhance the overall cuteness of the outfit.
Wearing a panier will further enhance the cute flare of the outfit.
Using American snaps or similar buttons will make the construction even easier.
The pattern includes lines for changing to a shorter length.
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.
The production process is explained with translation software.
