    I work at a high school theater and I have to fit lots of different sized girls. We only have one dress form but we have loads of shoulder pads. This is an excellent solution! Since it's something that I have to do often, I'll probably add some Velcro to the backs of the pads so I can take them on and off of the form easily.

      Thread magazine has a article about making a dress form to fit multi people. It's basically a dress form skin tight dress with zip down back, that is padded out with batting for quilting, and then a second dress that fits that size sewn over it connected at the neckline and down both sides of the back to the zip edges. You make them for all the sizes you need and just zip the one you need over the form as needed. For theater this is much more practical.

    Nick, I loved the way that you addressed the sizing issue, a sensitive matter for most women. I especially liked how you brought up your mom’s size, ‘she is not a size four’, very tactfully, and of course, lovingly, you are a class act. Thanks for the video.

    Now I can use all those pads I had left over from the 80’s.

  • @D.C.22
    @D.C.22 5 лет назад +82

    I would probably do a combo of the pads..and batting. All those areas between the pads needs to be filled in. Plus--he mentions nothing about how to cover the form for easier draping once you've sized it. Using a leotard is always great. You just have to cut open the crotch if it's not a snap closure.

I am a mother, grand mother and a great grand mother . now I am happy to finally be able to make a dress or pants /waist in my size even if I do have to sew them my self. great video -oh by the way now I know what I was saving all those shoulder pads for lol . you just got a new subscriber out of just this one video. :)

    I have one of those expandible dress forms that I bought about 12 years ago. Body sizes definitely are never alike, and the form only adjusts so much. I just kept adding folded fabric to the sections that I needed to adjust. Sometime hard to apply pins. This looks to be way easier thank you.
