To this day, I still believe it is the most beautiful dress ever. I wish you luck with the dress form. We didn't have one so I went through many many fittings with my mom, which are part of the great memories of time spent together talking and laughing. Whatever happens, I know you will succeed!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091705201133161892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113183995005359036.post-34430974082256694082016-07-20T18:55:13.049+10:002016-07-20T18:55:13.049+10:00Congratulations to your DD!

I got my dress form from Fabulous Fit and was able to get a pretty close approximation to my shape using their padding system, but you can use those pads with ANY dress form -- either a cheap one from your local big box store, or a too-small vintage dress form could be customized to perfection with these pads. Have you considered one of the DIY dummies so many garment makers swear by? I believe there is a tutorial in Threads magazine, possibly on their web site, for making a dress form with duct tape of all things. I hope you will post about the wedding gown progress! I'm sure it will be beautiful if you are the one making it!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.com
