For all the whining about the foam dummies, I'd just like to make clear that they are heads & shoulders <grin> bettter than any other option. It's not hard to bob the exaggerated bits. It took only minutes to change excess boobage into protrusive shoulderblades.
I cant stick pins in my plaster cast dummy. He was however, free, so I keep him. Foam squeezes just a little more to reshape just a smidge when you want to try a new style of corsetry. Plaster, paper tape dummies deform the underlying body you're trying to model. Dial-a dummies are just plain inadequate for most people. Really, there's no other sensible option: get a foam dummy. Pad her out with ace bandages, give her a boob-lift with a stocking full of birdseed, buy several covers and do one each for your corseted, bullet-bra & natural shapes,. Sew her an arm for a sleeve form & pin it to the cover when you need it. They last for years! --cin Cynthia Barnes cinbar...@gmail.com Posted by: "foureverfaire" foureverfa...@yahoo.com foureverfaire Thu May 27, 2010 12:38 pm (PDT) Though i don't have a dress form myself, i have frirends that do and i've heard others talk about having the same challenge of having to cut down parts of the Uniquely You Dress forms. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
