a course on sewing one's own dress form would be super welcome, indeed!
🌸✂️✂️
I agree
me too!!
The handmade dress form is so beautiful. Really want to learn how to make it😍
Thank you 🙏🌸
I would love a video on sewing your own with a moulage! I'm so happy I found your channel, currently binging all your videos hahha. Thank you for making these free and accessible for us
Thank you so much, I am glad you enjoy them 😊 I plan to do a class on making your own dress form in the future 🌸
I love how informative the video is! I’m very interested in creating my own. Would you consider creating a tutorial for sewing your own?
Thank you 🙏 Yes I will at some point 🌸
What a delightful presentation! Congratulations! It made my day. And the translation is impeccable, the translator’s voice so soothing.
I enjoyed seeing the option of making my own dress form covered with thick canvas but I don’t trust my patience or skills to tackle such a complex and precise project. Thank you for offering the discount for the professional made dress form. I would like to be able to afford it, maybe in the near future.
For now I will keep relying on my $25 dress form bought from a local shop, it matches my size quite well.
I wanted to upgrade to an adjustable form and I got one from Amazon this week, which I returned the next day. This video explains perfectly the reason for my disappointment.
Thank you for one of the best videos on RUclips I ever saw 👍😊
Thank you kindly 🌿🌸 Your message is very sweet and I am happy you enjoyed my english voice ☺️ If the dress form you currently have is not an adjustable one, you can always open the cover slightly (unstitch the seams) and add or remove some padding were it's needed, to really make it your double buddy ;-) Then of course a few hand stitches to sew the cover back. Hope that helps ! It's actually much better to do that than to use an adjustable form. All the best, you can do it !!! xx Romy
I really enjoyed the Video. Very well explained. I would be really interested in a course making my own dress form. Thank you for your videos 👍
Thank you kindly 🙏🌸
Me too!
I would be very interested in learning more about making a dress form from a bodice block. We also have a company called Bootstrap Fashions that will make a pattern from your measurements.
Yes I heard about it and it seems like they offer an amazing service ! ✂️🌸
@@RomyStanZakStudio They do! They require MANY measurements which they input into a computer program (I believe) and send you a digital pattern with instructions. I made one a few years ago and it turned out fabulous. However, making it is a bit of a challenge for a beginner. I've been sewing for MANY years (je suis une vieille dame) so it was great fun for me. It matches my measurements beautifully. My only wish is that I'd made one with legs. The Royal Dress Forms are marvelous, but as a retiree, the Bootstrap version is a much better fit for my budget!
Thanks for the wonderful video. I look forward to viewing more of your videos as I know there's always something new to learn (even at my age!)
Merci beaucoup mademoiselle.
I very much enjoy your professional style, and informative tutorials. I would highly appreciate your tutorial on creating a dress form.
Thank you 🙏
Loved this video! Very helpfull. I would love to learn how to make my own dress form from fabric.
Thank you 🌸
wow thats a nice dress form! removable arms and collapsing shoulders!! omg dreamy
Yes it's beautiful!
I LOVE the diy fabric dress form. I have been thinking of making a pinnable cover for my custom paper
mache´ dress form. Thanks for the inspiration!
It's a great idea to make a pinnable cover ! Happy sewing
I would be interested in making my own dress form. I made one from Bootstrap but she came out droopy. She does not look anything like yours. It would be good to watch a video step by step to learn how to do this. Thank you!🥰
thank you 😊🌸 It's always best to have a small but strong structure underneath.
what do you mean by droopy?
I stuffed her and the the measurements were too big so I took out some and she looks like a deflated balloon.
@@askedgeorgia17 Sorry to hear that. What did they say about that? :(
The fabric dress form is lovely.
Thank you very much 🌸
Please pleaseee make a in depth tutorial on how to sew your own dress form! I'm so interested in making one!
I will 🌸😊
I would love to be able to sew my own dressform out of fabrikk. But i dont trust myself to make my own accurate pattern, and specialized pattern makers dont have much options when it comes to assymetry. I have quite bad scoliosis, so i found that the easiest and most offardable option that would come out as accurate as i want it was casting myself and using expandable foam! A lot of work but definately worth it.
It’s wonderful that you have a dress form that works for you 🌸👍 If you want a custom made dress form that is made out of fabric, you could also have someone drape you with fabric to create a pattern, or you could drape your own dress form yourself (the dress form you made with foam) to create this same pattern. This way you would be certain that the dress form perfectly reflects your unique shape. I will do a class about it in the future 🌸 happy sewing and keep safe ✂️✂️
Could you please show how to draft a Japanese apron also showing how to adjust for various sizes. Thank you
Yes pls I would love to learn and make my own
Thank you 🙏
Second on this!
I would love you to make a video on how to make it out of your own moulage.
I will 🌸
Can you please show us how you made the sewn dress form. It looks so much better then all the other ones that i could find
Yes I will 🌸
Thank you for this video. :) It was helpful and definitely got me excited about making a DIY custom dress form. I would love it if you did a tutorial on your method. It looks really professional and functional and I love your idea to use canvas. Was your pinnable filling just polyester batting? I already have a Missy Roxy dress form and my moulage and I'd like to pad it to my measurements.
Thank you 🌸 If you already have a dress form and a moulage, you are set :-) I don't know Missy Roxy dress forms, but if it is adjustable, the best is to adjust is one or two sizes smaller than you are, then place your moulage on it and carefully pad the difference. Yes I used batting. A good technique is to use several layers of batting (But WITHOUT polyester in it !) and to iron them carefully one on top of the other, so as to have them 'shrink' slightly on the dress form. It will be stronger, more durable and stable. Again, don't use polyester (plastic) batting if you want to iron it, it would melt on your iron. Hope that helps ! 🌸
I would love to buy a professional form from the brand you suggested, but not only are the dress forms and shipping to Europe expensive, I would probably end up paying the same amount for customs/import taxes. I guess I'll have to do some research, see if there are any EU based stores as I am nowhere near skilled enough to make my own at the moment. Very informative video though, thank you!
Thank you 🌸 I ordered mine here to be shipped in the EU as well and the taxes were about 100€. This is expensive indeed but I use it for my work so that was an investment. Hope you find somenthing you like were you live. All the best to you and season's greetings 🌸
I really love your video, it was very detailed and well explain but I will really like for your to make a tutorial on how to make a dress form from a basic pattern pretty please.
I will ! 🌸✂️
I really enjoyed your video. It was very informative. I’d like to know if the dress form, whether purchased or handmade, is the exact measurements as your body, where does the easement come into play. Do I add in extra inches to the dress form? I need to know how the wearability and movement are factored in. I called one of the major dress form companies and they could not tell me. Sewing is not the problem for me. Getting the garment to fit me is the issue. I have no problem with alterations when someone else is wearing their own garment. Thank you for your input. Diane
Hello Diane 👋 yes the dress form has to be your exact measurements because you might want to sew really fitted clothes such as bustiers or lingerie. Then you add the ease in your pattern. When you drape your dress form, you can add ease directly, or you can add it after, at the table. You decide what ease you want. There is the ease for being able to move and breath (wearing ease), and there is the ease inherent to the style and shape of a specific garment. Hope that helps !
Beautiful video, thank you.
Thank you very much 😊🌸
How close should the dress form be to my own measurements?
They should be your exact measurements or smaller, in which case to pad it up to your size 🌸
How do you put pants on the dress form when the rod's in the way in both openings?
Hi ! You can take a body out of the rod and put it back 👍
Can you explain how to size-up my dress form please? i would like to modify my dress form to my size
You will need to pad it up to your measurements with wadding 👍
If you are sewing for other people, does I need a dress form that can be adjusted to specific clientele?
Yes, you can pad the form to make it bigger when needed 🌸🌿
Is the discount link no longer available for the professional dress form?
Hi 👋 there is no link, you just contact Royal dress forms and mention my channel (Romy Stan Zak) asking for a discount. You’ll find the informations in the description box bellow the video. Happy sewing 🌸✂️✂️
Discount is no longer available. I wish i saw it earlier. But great video!
Thanks for sharing pls I need some help me to get how much pls
Eu acho que não precisa desse manequim que regula o aumento não, eu faço no papel depois um plano cartesiano e faço o aumento colocando o molde anterior no centro, dai eu esperimento a base no corpo e vou lapidando até ficar do jeito que quero,da trabalho ,mas o resultado é maravilhoso,nos dar ànimo e uma recompensa.
