Am I the only one who wasted $200 on 'fashion design software' that was just a glorified photo editor?

I bought it for a project last month, thinking it would help with pattern drafting, but it couldn't even handle basic seam allowances. Has anyone found an actual good, affordable program for this?

Honestly, $200 for something that can't even do seam allowances? That's wild. @hollywhite is right, that's just burning money. I tried a program that called itself professional, but it couldn't even let me adjust a dart point without the whole image glitching. Felt more like a bad mobile game than a design tool.

My bank account feels that pain too.

Yeah, that bank account pain is real. I just use the free trials and cancel before they charge me, it's the only way to test stuff without the guilt.
