Today you get to see a month's worth of work in 20 minutes. I have always wanted a dress form made to my measurements however I don't have a $1000 to drop on one made for me by someone else but I was also a little dissatisfied by the lack of important measurements taken when purchasing the Bootstrap pattern. So I took it upon myself to make a professional-grade dress form for myself. You will see the whole process, casting my torso, pouring the foam, de-moulding and rubberising the outside, and finally making the batting and outer cover.
If you give it a try please tag me in photos of your final product on Instagram! I would love to see it!
