My new dress form cover is done! This project has been on the ufo pile for so long because, well, life. I am so excited to finally have a dress form that is closer to my real body. I don’t mind sharing my numbers because that’s all they are numbers and I know how uneasy they can make us feel. The original dress form was about a 36-27-36, and I am 46-35-43. This was my first time sewing a cover and lessons were learned but it was way easier than expected. I started with a very small dress form and padded out the form to my measurements using quilting batting. I used cotton fabric from my stash so it was not the recommended one but it worked. I got my pattern from @bootstrapfashion . If you buy a pattern from them, please consider accessing their site using my affiliate link https://bit.ly/3iGN6DM . This will give me a little comission to help fund more sewing projects. The midsection looks a little loose because back when I bought the pattern, I was a little fuller there. I think I also picked the wrong belly protuberance. The form was padded closer to my current waist number. This actually helps because since our sizes can change a bit throughout the months this will let me pad it out more if needed. I used a different fabric than recommended, to stash bust, so it did make it a bit harder to get the cover over the padding. This caused some of the padding to shift but I am not that concerned about it, what I have now is going to work a lot better than any form I can buy so I am really happy with it. For the bust padding I ended up having to cut the batting down the middle because I forgot the pattern had cups . Let me know if you have any questions about the process. I have added my link to my stories/highlights to make it easier to use. ......#historicalgarments #sewist #sewcialist #curvystyle #fashionhistory #dresshistory #costumedesign #costura #dressformhttps://www.instagram.com/p/CEAcOIUBZ8K/?igshid=14n5m8yasy5x9 -- source link
