Dressmaker began as a way to help its co-creator reconnect with sewing

Dexerto reports that Sabrina Becker and Jonathan Hau-Yoon developed Dressmaker to bring her love of sewing into a game after a diagnosis of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome disrupted her costume-design plans. Players can choose fabrics, cut patterns and sew virtual clothes. Becker also designs and curates dress pieces and guides the game's aesthetics.
