The Gakuran Uniform PDF Sewing Pattern by CUT/SEW is inspired by the traditional Japanese-style school uniform and includes patterns for both a structured button-front jacket and coordinating pants. Perfect for cosplay, anime-inspired costumes and theatrical sewing, this versatile set can be customized to create a wide variety of character looks.

The jacket features a structured silhouette with two faux front pockets, built-in interlining and a nine-button front closure. The coordinating pants use an easy-to-sew side-seam invisible zipper instead of a traditional front fly, making the construction more approachable.

CUT/SEW's unisex pattern line is designed with broader proportions, including wider shoulders and longer torsos. Adjustment instructions are included to help customize the pattern for different body shapes and proportions.
