I made a dressform cover
I've used a duct tape dressform for about 8 years and always wanted a cover for it. When I had my first one made, the person that has since become uber famous for them had not started covering them yet. Body changes necessitated a new one. Late last year my fiance' and I made another one (actually two but he screwed the first one up...gave too much attention to the boobs). It's a near perfect replica of my body...lumps, rolls and all...but I wanted a cover to make it look like more than a huge wad of duct tape! After viewing my first pattern review photo I was more determined than ever to make a professional looking cover. I had one failed attempt last year, but started again yesterday with renewed resolve. This is what I came up with. Why did it take so long?

How do you make a dress form? Do you have instructions that can be emailed? reedyj1@yahoo.com or do you know of a book, etc... where I can get instructions? I NEED one of those 3rd hand gadgets!! I wonder where one could be bought now? I love the chiffon top! So feminine!
ReplyDeleteJulia check out Threads.com they have instructions on how to make the duct tape form.
ReplyDeleteShe looks very professional now. I know she's happy she is finally dressed up :)
ReplyDeleteYour dress form looks really nice all dressed up. I need to do the same thing. I like the third hand notion, I'm sure that comes in handy.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I will check out Threads.com to see how to make the dress form. Thanks for the comment about my silly poetry. You are kind.

ReplyDeleteI have an old antique dress form that I want to make a new cover for. I'm not as good with the sewing machine as I am with knitting needles!
