DIY BODICE // five methods to make a fitted bodice! (buckle up, it’s a long one)

[@Ri-vh6ss]

U should make a video on variation of sleeves that would be interesting as well ☺️

[@AnikaSews]

That’s such a good idea!!! You know how much I love statement sleeves HAHA 🤪

Yes. Those sleeves are so pretty but super intimidating. A step by step would be awesome.

1 year ago I cut my hair from waist length to a bob and i thought it would look so chic, but I guess my hair is too thick and I ended up looking like lord farquaad

[@AnikaSews]

STOP AHAHA I feel like I look like that now because I also have thick hair but i don’t think my hairstylist thinned out the ends enough so it’s so fluffy at the bottom EXACTLY like lord farquaad HAHAHA

Hi there! First off, I just want to wish you luck on your sewing journey, you’ll do great!! ❤️ This is the link I found to a $100 dress form that is the Dritz Twin-Fit, it’s just a bit of a different design than mine but has the same functions: www.amazon.com/dp/B007PBHZK0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_wAa5Fb3MS6QAM I unfortunately don’t think you’ll find a decent dress from under $100 because they’re so large and technical that they’re definitely an investment, but this one is great for beginners! 💕

What is the brand of your dress form? I've been trying to find a cheaper form but I've only seen fashion mannequins in the $50-$60 range

[@AnikaSews]

It’s the Dritz Twin Fit Dress form! It was gifted to me so I don’t know how much it actually is, but I’ll be honest and say that it’ll be difficult to find a dress form that’s cheaper than $50-$60 :( since dress forms are so large it’s unlikely that they’ll be cheaper than that because $50 is the cheap end of the scale for dress forms
