It is now easy to make your small dress form fit you perfectly for better, more accurate fittings, pattern drafting, and draping. You will need a smaller size dress form for this project. You can replicate your figure by customizing belly protuberance, buttocks shape, posture and shoulder slope. In addition to our Fit Adjustments, you can add neck circumference, back width and other professional key measurements.
This pattern IS suitable to be put on a finished dress form and can be tried on. This dress form cover sewing pattern has a negative ease built in, which will allow for better measurement control during the padding of your dress form to match your measurements.
