In need of a plus size dress form
Do any of you have suggestions on where I might find a good but inexpensive plus size
dress form? I want to make some mix and match formal gowns, but can't exactly do the fittings on my own body. Thanks in advance for any help you can give -- Jalynne Queen Gypsy (snail mail available upon request) see what i've been up to at www.100megsfree4.com/jalynne |

It's the most perfect dress form you can find, and is cheaper than most of the dress forms I've ever seen. Search Google for "duct tape double" and you should find a lot of hits. Cathy |

I've seen those, thought they were interesting. Would it be easy to adjust their
size? I"m losing weight fairly quickly, and need something adjustable for accurate fittings. I'd hate to be making a new one every other month. -- Jalynne Queen Gypsy (snail mail available upon request) see what i've been up to at www.100megsfree4.com/jalynne "cathy" wrote in message ...

If your weight changes regularly, you're probably better off buying a commercial dress form. -- Kathy |

I think you can adjust the size. For exanple, around the waist, make
several vertical slashes, then retape tighter till it matches your measurements. No, I don't think you could adjust the size at all. If your weight changes regularly, you're probably better off buying a commercial dress form. |
