Will a Dress Form make sewing easier?
A dress form, especially one personalised to your body measurements, helps you to check a garments fit, including placements of darts, neckline and buttonholes. It allows you to accurately mark a hemline, to see whether a garments fabric is hanging on grain, and to ensure that the seams hang straight.
Apart from these more obvious benefits dress forms allow you to fit a paper pattern prior to cutting it from fabric. It also allows you to view and fit the back of a garment (nearly impossible to do on yourself!).
A dress form provides a canvas on which to pin contrasting or co-ordinating fabrics as well as giving you the ability to drape fabric to create your own garment designs.
A dress form is a must for ALL garment sewers!
