My Very Own Dress Form
Isn't she g.l.o.r.i.o.u.s? What shall we name her? I can't even tell you how long I have wanted a dress form to help with my alterations work. Some of the dresses require an assistant, if you will. After many years of deliberation, I invested in a professional one. My main consideration was sturdiness and longevity. This one has a solid metal base, collapsable shoulders, and it is fully pinnable. It's so heavy, I couldn't carry the coffin-like box to the basement by myself. ~~~~~~~~~~ Pretty much anyone who has ever heard that I have a bunch of kids and sew on the side says something to the effect of "HOW?!?" Well, sometimes like this with a baby on my back... But not often because, shockingly , my little people don't find my hobby to be nearly as fascinating as I do.
