My very own custom dress form!


This seems to be my lucky month!!! Guess what I am getting soon? Yup I am getting taped for my dress form! And that too from the dress form expert Jean Haas herself.

When I told her about my upcoming trip to Chicago, she offered to create a dress form for me which I'll be able to carry back with me. I jumped with joy when I got Jean's email, startling Gagan :) Men... they'll never get it will they?

Ok so now I need to make a really tight fitting turtleneck dress similar to this American Apparel shirt. Any pattern ideas?

I am so excited!

Deepika, I'm so excited for you. You're going to love it. Don't you have dress patterns that will work? All you do is raise the neckline and stitch on a rectangle the size of the neck opening. You don't need no stinking pattern!

I'm with Sherril; no pattern needed!

How super great is this- you'll have so much fun with your new dress form!
