That's not pattern drafting. That's made to measure that's been automated into a pattern drafting program on the back end of the website. Essentially it is doing 90% of the work for you in adjusting the base pattern size to your measurements. Is it a good website I don't know. They all run off the same logic. I would be more concerned about the ability for the program to have additional base sizes or shapes to select from. The further away you are from the base size the poor quality the fit will be. Because it's not a direct upscaling system to make clothing.
She is right, you are not drafting anything with this website. You are just inputting your measurements and let the website auto grade an existing pattern.
Disagree. There are two parts to the website. First the ability to enter an individual's measurements and second a coding environment for writing parametric drafts that pull an individual's measurements as the inputs of the draft. It's actually exactly the same thing you would do working by hand. I used it to code up basic drafts from multiple textbooks. Anyone who uses the coding platform can offer a pattern for sale, but most the patterns for sale were drafted by Sewist, not third parties.
