Choose a dressform size

[the_professors_assistantKeymaster]

Hi Professor,

I want to purchase a dress form to make sewing a little easier, however, I don’t know how to choose the right size. On the Dritz ‘My Double Deluxe’, my bust is 1.5 inches too small for the medium, but my hips are 2″ too big for the small. Which one do I choose? I’ve always had problems fitting my hips and thighs. Any advice is welcome.

oh no! It’s easier to make the dress form slightly bigger by adding padding to areas, but I don’t know how to go smaller. Instead of buying a dressform, you can make you’re own custom one. Here’s a great article on it at threads: http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/16297/create-a-custom-dress-form/page/all You might need a friend to help you but it’ll be a fun day project.
