Custom Dress Form

When I was in college several years ago, I took a course in making my very own dress form. The instructor, LaVina Scott, developed this particular method and wrote the book on it--SEW CLOTHES TO YOU, How to make a Custom Dress Form.

Of couse after 3 babies and lack of the active life of my youth this is no longer my body size. But it is close to my 18 year old daughter's size. I used it to do some minor adjustments on her prom dress recently.
