dress form for a biggger belly
Pam in Amsterdam   Advanced Beginner NETHERLANDS Member since 5/5/05 Posts: 15	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 10/17/12 2:36 PM I would like to make my dress form bigger but only on the lowerfront . Getting older we seem to get smaller buttock and bigger belly. Some ideas how to do it? Taping it over a T-shirt with quilt batting maybe? I wonīt use the tape direct on the form. The form is set to maximum now, it canīt be set wider... -- Edited on 10/17/12 2:37 PM --

I cut the crotch, slipped it over the dressform and stuffed it with the insides of an old pillow until it matched my measurements and shape.

A tight tank or cami will work. Then place batting over the belly area and wrap muslin or batting around that and then put the cami over that to hold it all down. ------ Visit my blog at http://sewingsaga.blogspot.com If it's worth sewing, it's worth sewing well; and if it's worth sewing well, it's worth FITTING FIRST! - TSL

Not to find in my vocabulary, but I think to know the place on our body Tennis and ironing are my secrets. Having a small ironing business at home, I sometimes work 6 hours a day, using my arms and upper body frequently. And tennis of course works for my arms.
