I have been thinking of how to do this for a while. The store bought ones don't cater to larger busts and less "standard" shapes. After all if I was standard I wouldn't bother with sewing soooo much!! I am looking forward to doing this. Should be fun with a couple of wines. What did you use for the stand??

(Generally limited to crafts and clothes for my daughter until she was about 3 yrs old). My Aunt Ruth had one (covered in foil, for reasons I do not know...)that was stored at the end of the upstairs hallway in a large and creaky old house. We have a family story involving my brother, the dress form, a full moon and a scary movie late at night that embarrasses him every time we tell it! I have never used a form for my limited sewing.

I have the same problem, by the way -- I wear a 2, but according to pattern measurements I need about a 10, and if I make that it is absolutely gigantic. My sister and I had this problem about 15 years ago when we were bridesmaids for a cousins wedding. They had dresses made by someone there (6 hours from us) and our only fitting was the day before the wedding. My mom measured us and sent them the measurements. When we walked in the door they immediately got all huffy because it was obvious the dresses were not going to fit as they were. Long story short, we had a lot of pins in us while going down the aisle! (And they were SUCH hideous dresses too!) I’m really interested to see how this works for making clothes.
