Sewing DIY Soft Dress Form

Oct 9, 2022

    1. Hello! I recently finished a dress form for my Island Doll MSD. I started out using the method of wrapping her with saranwrap and painters tape. Plotted my marks for the pattern pieces, cut and added seam allowance.

      There's definitely some revising of the shapes of the patterns I ended up using that I'll do for next time, but overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. The goal was to be able to use it for draping to make patterns/outfits for her without risking scratching or poking her with pins.
