Have us make you your own custom made Dress Form. Self-fitting is the number one problem in all levels of dress making. The dress form is a wonderful educational aid. It is stimulating, thought provoking and helps train the eye towards developing good three dimensional design concepts. The technique used to make your dress form creates an exact replica of your body shape.
Students work in groups of three.
One student will be the subject while the other two will be wrapping her in a body cast made of plaster of paris. This form will be covered in batting and canvas muslin, then put on a stand. In this class you will learn the art of draping and patternmaking while you make the outside cover for your new clone of yourself. We have a 6 person maximum enrollment for this class. The study of dress forms will give the student proficiency in fitting and draping.
