Ahhhh the feeling of starting a week after a holiday....
I hope you all enjoyed it.
I got a lot of sewing done over the weekend. I had all intentions of posting the pictures today but its soooo ugly outside. Instead I wanted to share with you the custom fitted dress form I purchased from JoAnn's fabric. The form is normally $289 but I was able to use my 40% off coupon courtesy of my JoAnn App as well as an additional 10% off my entire order, gotta love it.
I brought the form home and began fitting it according to my measurements. I bought a small because my size was too close to the smaller end of the medium. Should I lose any weight which I intend to... I would have sized myself out of medium.
The instructions tell you to start with the neck fitting. I found that once I got down to the height, waist then thighs, I was altering the previous fitting I completed. In order to prevent this, I would suggest starting at the bottom and working your way up!
The knobs were better tough to adjust towards the end. I broke a couple nails before I decided to use my fabric scissors smh.
Any who, check it out! I would suggest an adjustable form for anyone needing a form. My first dress form I purchased nearly 10 years ago. Needless to say, I am no where near a 24" waist!
