"New" Dressform

This post may end up slightly TMI. You may not want to know the ins and outs of my measurements. However, I'll have to pony up some information to really explain my enthusiasm for my new sewing room addition.

As you've seen, I have a dress form already. It's an adjustable affair from Joann's that I got years ago not long after I moved to Huntsville while it was on sale. At the time, the hips measurement was too small, but if I went up a size, the rest would all be too big. Alas, the dress forms have the same problem as Express jeans: the butt is never big enough.

Add to that my yo-yoing weight. I've been gaining/losing weight yearly. Every year I make a trip to Atlanta on Labor Day weekend and I have yet to attend anywhere near the same weight twice.

Being a seamstress of mostly clothes, rather than quilts or cute projects, this is kind of a problem. LOTS of fittings. But I was flipping through magazine I got with my American Sewing Guild membership (courtesy of my aunt) and found a solution!!!

Well this doesn't look bad at all.
