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.
Paije Peri Good idea
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.
@@kimwilliams5165 brilliant!! saves a lot of time i imagine
Brilliant!
Brilliant!!
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.
LOL!
😂😂
Right...😁
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.
batting is also fierce
What is a leotard??
@@Pancracias1 Its basically a 1 piece swimsuit that ballet dancers wear.
GREAT Idea, about the leotard, Thanks!🙂
Ive had my own sewing and design shop from home for 4 years. I have learned so much from you and you have helped me fine tune my skills!! Thank you for your videos!!!
Nick - you are hilarious !! I've just found your channel and as someone who apparently hasn't got "average proportions" clothes wise I've had to tailor almost EVERYTHING I own FOR EVER - mainly through trail and error - your tutorials are a godsend, thank you so much.
You are an absolute legend. I've watched a few videos on fitting a dress form, and yours is by far the most concise I've found. I'm gonna be deep diving the rest of your content for sure
I love you Nick. You are so fun, creative, inspiring, and motivating. Thanks for all your tips and videos. Please do more videos. I've watched them all so far 😘

Hi Nick! Thank you for posting this! I so appreciate it. I'm going to try this on my dress form. I bought a size that is smaller than what I am now.
I just won one of these dress forms in half size. I'm so excited! I can drape and fit AND save materials on mock up! It's going to also force me to do patterns electronically. Which is good!
Seriously awesome idea Nick thank u so much

You're amazing!! Thank you for sharing the tips with us really appreciate it. God bless.
You are the best fashion designer teacher ♥️👏💃
you got my vote on the love scale . I would have to add a lot more to that dress form -I been buying my pants aka : blue jeans in the men's department for many years now as I can never find a pair of pants / blue jeans in my size in the women's section of Any store . 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.
Thank u very much Nick dats so easy, u make my life so easy, dis is de kind of school i need😊
