Japanese Cosplay
where can I download cosplay clothes patterns for free?

Are there any website that let you download free cosplay clothes patterns?

I'd like a Sailor Moon/Mars costume, or a Japanese girls school uniform with a sailor top, but I can't really afford to but the separate parts, or anything that looks like them, so I'd be interested in making my own.

I've got a sowing machine, but I don't have any patterns to work from.

Can I download any online for free?

All cosplayers adlib the patterns. At fabric stores they carry those packages that have the patterns for all different types of clothes, so a cosplayer would find the closest thing to what they want and modify it to look like the character piece. Luckily some patterns are free or are close enough to what you need.

I think you want the "Sailor Fuku uniform" on there with that collar-tail attachement.
If you go on the forum, you can definitely find a Sailor Scout tutorial since that is a very popular and common cosplay. Also, Deviant Art has lots of tutorials.
