| Best for | Generating an editable custom-measurement block | Investigating an unknown textile without using flame, smoke, odor, or residue as composition, flammability, care, safety, or compliance proof |
| Know before using | A measurement-generated draft is a starting block, not independent evidence of body capture, comfort, mobility, balance, garment ease, or production fit. The result depends on measurement accuracy, supported ranges, formula assumptions, selected options, and output handling. Review the service's privacy terms before storing body data and sew a representative toile before design, grading, or production use. | The record does not identify a submitted textile, provide a home burn procedure, turn an observation into a fibre or blend result, choose a laboratory method, establish flammability or market compliance, validate a care instruction, or replace qualified laboratory, textile, conservation, safety, compliance, and legal review. |

| What the source establishes | PatternLab London's current drafting page says a user creates a measurement profile, selects a basic block or sloper, adjusts fit, dart placement, length, seam allowance, and sleeve options, then downloads the generated result as tiled PDF, AI, or SVG. The live catalogue names bodice, dress, trouser, and stretch blocks and displays a price before purchase. | The guide cites current AATCC qualitative and quantitative fibre-analysis methods, the published ISO 1833-1 quantitative-analysis principles, ASTM's withdrawn D276 status and reinstatement work item, current FTC U.S. textile-label guidance, and current CPSC clothing-textile flammability guidance. |
