Oh sorry, to clarify, I meant that a lot of Japanese sewing books and patterns I've found are usually looser or have a more modern cut, like pic attached. Maybe it's because right now I can't go and look at the books in person to see if there's designs i'm looking for... Things like skirts I can shorten, but I'm a little newer and find the rest of a dress difficult without some pattern or guidance.

Just curious, do you know of any patterns or sewing books that's similar to these styles that isn't the natural flowy look? It's just that I noticed so many of them are the looser styles, so it made me wonder if there's some resources for a 'girlier' kind of style, or if it's not as common.

I did look into the Otome no Sewing books and found some more casual cutsew dress styles, but it's so rare!
