Seamly2D is free, open-source fashion design software for creating garment patterns. The site describes using previous designs as a starting point and working with size charts, made-to-measure information, and converted body scans. It lists apparel, costumes, athletic wear, pet gear, outdoor products, and upholstery as potential applications. Seamly describes a workflow from design through manufacturing for physical and digital products, and says its software brings together 2D, 3D, and Mixed Reality. A beta process described for 3DLOOK MOBILE TAILOR measurement data converts CSV files into Seamly measurement files by email. Downloads are offered for Windows, Linux, and MacOS, but the download page requests a name, email, operating system, and intended use before emailing a link. The site says Seamly Systems does not sell or share personal information it holds. A user forum is available for software discussions. Seamly2D is listed with 2D pattern making, size grading, and SVG export capabilities.
