Do you have as much trouble as I do when trying to tissue fit without a dress form? Or worse, without a helper? I am making a buttons in the back blouse and could not get the tissue to stay centered in order to check placement. My solution was to pin the tissue to a cami and then carefully put on the cami in order to check fit. Not a perfect solution but helpful when you are fitting alone.

waltzqueen said... Wonderful idea! My husband hates to help me. If you cut the cami down the front and added some hooks and eyes to close it up edge to edge, I think that would make it easier to put one, right? 7/16/10 3:17 PM

Kathy in NM said... Great idea! Thanks!
Also like Waltzqueen's suggestion to cut the cami and use hook and eyes in the front - no problem tearing, or pin sticking, when pulling on over my head!
Thank you both! 7/17/10 10:38 PM
