| Know before using | A search result applies only to its named label and scope; check the exact certificate number, product, facility, status, and validity before making a claim. | 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 official Buying Guide searches OEKO-TEX labeled products and certified companies, providing a discovery route across textile materials, components, processes, and facilities. | 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. |
