| Know before using | This is one commercial chain's Japanese-language locator, not a census of Japanese repair services or an independent assessment of any location. The locator does not list Fukui among its prefecture routes, store distribution is uneven, and services, hours, reference prices, item acceptance, and available amenities can differ by location. Published prices are starting references and can change with the garment, material, construction, condition, and requested work. Confirm the exact item, result, estimate, turnaround, accessibility, custody, added-work approval, warranty, and outcome with the selected store before handing anything over. | Patternmaking knowledge, controlled measurement files, production conventions, and sewn fit testing are still required. The software does not validate body measurements, ease, balance, grading rules, fabric behavior, construction, or product fit. The project currently labels its user wiki manual as needing updates, so confirm current commands and file behavior against the installed release and active support channels. |

| What the source establishes | The first-party locator exposes current location, prefecture, municipality, keyword, clothing-repair, service, amenity, and payment filters. Prefecture pages publish a current store total and city controls, while store pages provide addresses, telephone numbers, hours, route links, maps, and available amenities. The connected service and reference-price pages cover pants and denim, skirts and dresses, jackets and coats, shirts and T-shirts, knitwear, alterations, remaking, tears, zipper replacement, frayed hems, buttons, lining work, knit holes, unraveling, and snags. | The maintained Seamly2D repository identifies the application as GPLv3+ open-source patternmaking software for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It reads multi-size measurement files for standardized sizes and individual measurement files for custom-fit work, publishes downloadable builds and releases, and links an active website and user forum. |
