Dress forms are an essential tool for producing custom fitted garments. Having a form with the proper measurements allows for continuous fitting throughout the construction process.
Dress forms are essential for designing through draping. Muslin fabric is manipulated to the form to create a custom pattern.
Dress forms can be purchased or made through a number of low cost processes. A purchased form must still be padded to appropriate measurements to achieve perfect fit of custom garments.
