| Know before using | The workflow is not a contract or quality certification; local legal duties and technical review may still apply. | Browzwear's fit, accuracy, speed, and sample-reduction statements are vendor and customer claims, not independent outcomes for another workflow. Results depend on pattern geometry, grade rules, avatar and body data, calibrated material inputs, construction settings, version, modules, and operator skill. Pilot actual source files and supplier round trips, confirm plan and integration scope, and retain risk-appropriate physical fit and production checks. | The record does not create a production grade, supply universal increments or breakpoints, validate a CAD file or fit population, reproduce licensed standards, or replace qualified anthropometric, pattern, technical-design, fit, quality, accessibility, safety, statistical, and user-research review. |

| What the source establishes | The linked tool or guide is maintained inside Stitch Authority and was checked against its current public interface. | Browzwear's current VStitcher page describes 2D drafting and 3D draping, pattern-block, fabric, material, and avatar libraries, multi-size grading and simulation, tension and pressure maps, configurable tech packs, and pattern and production-file exports. Its help centre lists current 2026.1 releases for macOS and Windows and separate Tech Pack Editor downloads. | The guide cites current ISO body-table, size-designation, and garment-measurement boundaries plus two peer-reviewed studies that tested the relationship between conventional grade rules, anthropometric evidence, and garment fit; it requires product-specific target deltas and validation instead of publishing universal increments. |
