Dressforms are an investment and many women wonder if it's worth the money or not. If you want to invest the choice is, of course, up to you personally, but here are some benefits to owning your own dressform.
A dressform allows you to hang a garment during construction to assess the design during work. This will let you know ahead of time if a piece is not draping properly. When you are finished you can check for "surprises" that show up before you or a client tries it on for the hemming.
"But what if the dress form doesn't exactly match my measurements?"
A little trick of the trade for you! Measure all bust, waist, and hip measurements then adjust the form to most closely match your body size. If needed you can add shoulder pads to strategically enhance the bust, hip, or bottom.
What dressforms are your favorite? Which ones do you not recommend?
