Dressmaker GameThe questions every new dressmaker asks, answered strictly from the official Steam listing, Steam’s achievement statistics and the developers’ own announcements — with Unconfirmed labels wherever the official record runs out.
Each answer below cites the same three official sources listed at the bottom of the page. If a question is not covered here, the walkthrough, guide, fabric and character pages go deeper.
Platforms get their own page: it separates what is confirmed (Windows and Mac on Steam, Playable on Steam Deck) from what is only planned (Switch and mobile) and what no official source has ever mentioned (PS5 and Xbox). Platforms →
This site is built from three official sources: the Steam store listing, Steam’s global achievement statistics and the developer’s own Steam announcements. Everything they state is quoted or paraphrased with the source cited; anything none of them states — per-fabric stats, hidden achievement conditions, what sabotage changes — is marked Unconfirmed rather than filled in. Nothing here is sourced from community wikis or datamining, and generated illustrations are labelled as such.
$14.99 USD on Steam, with regional pricing. A -10% launch discount ran at release; as of September 29, 2026 the store shows the full price. Prices on the live store page supersede anything written here.
Windows and Mac, via Steam. There is no Linux build and no console version yet, but the developers have announced that mobile and Nintendo Switch ports are planned.
Approximately 35 hours of story commissions, according to the developers, excluding the off-the-rack dresses you design and sell yourself. No official completionist figure exists — decoration and the 32 achievements are open-ended.
Over 150 dress pieces, over 450 fabrics and over 350 accessories at launch, per the developers, across ten customer storylines. Small updates since launch have been adding more fabrics and accessories.
English, Simplified Chinese and Japanese — all three with full audio, per the Steam listing.
Dressmaker is developed by Cozy Lives, a small team working at Free Lives in South Africa, and published by Free Lives. It released on September 21, 2026.
No. The Steam listing classifies Dressmaker as single-player, and no official source mentions multiplayer, co-op or online features. An online challenge mode — comparing and voting on other players’ designs — is announced as future content.
32, per Steam’s official achievement statistics: ten customer storyline achievements, six challenge achievements with published descriptions, and sixteen hidden achievements.
Yes. Steam rates it Playable rather than Verified: the default controller layout works and performance is good, but the interface text is small and the on-screen button glyphs do not always match the Deck. The developers have also said proper controller support is on the way.
Yes. The developers’ launch announcement lists an online challenge mode with design voting, transparent fabrics, proper controller support, and mobile and Switch ports — plus small updates that add fabrics and accessories in the meantime. No paid DLC has been announced.
The official store description says you can "satisfy (or sabotage!)" townsfolk — and says nothing more. What sabotage does mechanically, and what it costs, is Unconfirmed.
A free prototype was released on itch.io in 2025 and is a different, earlier build of the game. No demo of the Steam release has been published.
Careful: this site covers Dressmaker by Cozy Lives (Steam app 4019220), the cozy dressmaking sim released September 21, 2026 — which itself began life as an itch.io prototype. Unrelated same-named jam games also exist on itch.io; they are different projects by different authors.
September 29, 2026, against the live Steam listing, Steam’s global achievement statistics and the developers’ Steam announcements. Every page carries this date under its headline.
The Steam listing does not advertise controller support; it lists a Mouse Only option and Playable without Timed Input instead. On Steam Deck the default controller configuration is functional, and the developers have said a proper controller mode is planned.
