I have been struggling for so long to find a dress form that fits my body and proportions. I've made all sorts of custom ones in the past: duct tape dress forms, cardboard body forms, customizable bootstrap fabric dress forms... you name it, I've probably made it. Most of these never quite really captured my shape exactly enough to allow me to use the dress form to do draping and custom pattern drafting... until now! I've finally been able to create a 3d shape that accurately represents my body and finally allows me to use it for costume creations and sewing custom fit clothes!
