| Know before using | 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. | Listings can be owner-submitted or team-added, and affiliate or marketplace relationships are commercial influences; verify current stock, price, opening, delivery, returns, and service quality directly. |

| What the source establishes | 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. | The public directory exposes location and shop-type discovery, while the platform states that business listings have no monthly fee and revenue comes from affiliate partnerships and marketplace commissions. |
