About these notes

An independent handbook

Made to sit beside the game, with its sources in view.

Who made the game?

Cozy Lives developed Dressmaker and Free Lives publishes it. This handbook is independent and is not affiliated with either studio. The game name and related marks belong to their owners.

Where the notes come from

Gameplay summaries follow the Steam description ↗ and publisher press kit ↗. Edition information also uses the developer’s itch.io page ↗. Each chapter links its sources; official listings were checked on 30 September 2026.

The handbook is source-based. It does not claim hands-on testing of the game, exact item values or complete commission coverage. For changes after the check date, consult official news ↗.

Illustrations and your data

The paper pattern illustration was created for this site. It is a schematic decoration, not a screenshot or a usable dress pattern.

There are no accounts, analytics scripts or contact forms. The checklist optionally stores seven ticks in your browser’s local storage. Clear it with the checklist button or your browser’s site-data controls. It sends no checklist data to a server.

External links take you to other services with their own policies.
