How To Increase Your Dress Form Size To Multiple Sizing.

[@marilynsmenagerie11]

I am 81 years old and wished that this advice would have been available 60 years ago. Your videos are extraordinary and very informative.

[@dawnmason9558]

Ihave been dressmaking since I was 4...51yrs & this is the very first time someone has shown me HOW to size up a dress form thank you.

[@deborahfeinn769]

I was about to go out and buy a new form - you just saved me a bundle! Very clear and easy to follow. thank you!

[@glamourdoll2795]

I’ve been struggling to find affordable larger forms and decided that I would enlarge a smaller one to fit any needed measurements. You’ve shown me a practical efficient way to do so. Thank you. ✊🏾❤️

[@MommyOfZoeAndLiam]

This could also be great for designing a maternity dress. Just add more padding to the belly, hips, breast, and butt, depending where the person holds their weight.

[@SensationallySilky]

Baby you are out here doing the Lord's work! Everybody cant afford multi size forms, or sometimes our weight fluctuates. You are a blessing to the sewing nation

[@lavanterboutique7865]

😂😂😂 them things are expensive

[@marturios]

You are the best teacher! Never stop doing these kind of videos, are really helpful for the ones that are starting in this industry ♥️

[@amandadoverspike2949]

Thank you! So clear and to the point and you made it look aesthetically pleasing as well with the cover!

[@tsnell80]

Thank you so much !

[@plj63]

A real work of art. I tried to pad my dress form yesterday but after seeing your video I am going to undo everything and do it your way! Great video!

[@blackcurrantpop]

Best vid on sizing up!

[@tammiw1234]

I just got an adjustable dress form from the thrift shop and it is small. Your video is the BEST one I have come across. Great job showing us how you do it. Thanks.

[@krc8844]

You always do such QUALITY detailed videos! I'm so glad your sharing your knowledge 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@ikabikaboo]

This is the simplest method of padding a form that I've seen! Some people make it so complicated!

[@divakingsley9020]

This was an excellent way of explaining this...and I personally didn’t mind the squeaking of the dress form.

[@fashioninspirations8164]

Wow! Thank you so much Even so I have no money to pay for my college fee's,you teaching us to be a professional fashion designer,the blessing of GOD is with you,I didn't see that kind heart like yours,sharing the education which you got on schools to the people like us who need to study. Thank you,thank you and thank you again.

[@Ankhesenamun23]

Thank you so much this saved me so much money, my dress form is a size 6 but most of the females that I know is a size 8 on up, I was literally about to spend another $400 dollars to purchase another dress form, thanks again!

[@minimina1313]

this is honestly the most helpful video I've seen in a long time

[@mrsresinvaleriepayn5203]

I didnt need to go any further. 36 seconds into your video. I knew i was going to subcribe to your channel, you just have a knack of talking to the camera as though it were to me. I like you already

[@stargazer3049]

This is the best video I've ever seen on how to pad a dress form. Thanks so much for posting!

[@stephaniecalloway3830]

This is great I went and bought a new dress form for my new body size when all I had to do was change over one of my old body size but this is excellent great idea

[@carole3877]

Awesome video. You are so talented. Thanks for taking the time to make this video

[@kyrafrijnts2930]

you are my hero! I love to make my own paterns but my dress form is to smal for me. this video really helped me so much!

[@jime031083]

Daniela, you are AMAZING! Thanks for teaching and sharing your knowledge with us. Hugs from Brazil

[@ellescrapper]

Well done, because most people that see don't know how to do this and that is because they haven't had the experience or training we had since we have actually worked in the industry like you and I, but if they truly want it bad enough they will learn it. In His Grace, Lorisa

[@ElizaArika]

I have been thinking of finally getting a dress form but so far the dress forms I found sold in my area come in 1 size so this is going to be so helpful to get it up my size.

[@blockparty4678]

Love this tutorial. Simple and to the point! Thank you can't wait to try this out.

[@Allthingsnicey]

Great! Saves so much money and space. I get to put the left over furniture batting to use. I was wondering what to do with that. Thanks a bunch.

[@idafuentes452]

So glad I found your channel. Watching your videos and grateful for the wealth of information you patiently share, thank you so much.

[@kenzieking2546]

Wow this is the best tutorial on adding more to it And I love how you sew fabric to finish it looks amazing I just bought my first form and I’m waiting on my first sewing machine ❤ Thank you for a great way to form the dress to measurements ❤ Definitely doing it your way ❤

[@kameamepopcorn9660]

Hello from France : D I'm a French lady. I'm plus size. I have issues to find nice clothes. I bought both a sewing machine & and a surger. My real issue is to find a good book explaining to beginners how to increase the size of the bodice. I need bras, g-string ect. (In France, they do H.A.T.E) to sale & design clothes for + size. Thanks for your help.

[@sireensdethar1308]

Hi ...may i till you that u can use winifred aldrich book..it is about patterns making..it is more þhan great and clear to deal with...and thanks daniel 4 ur video...i am eager to watch all ur videos😘😘

[@kameamepopcorn9660]

@@sireensdethar1308 Hello, merci beaucoup : )

[@raraavis7782]

Kameame pop corn Regular pattern making books don’t usually cover much lingerie. They’re a lot of patterns for underwear available though and they usually have a large array of sizes. They would also come with instructions, which you kinda need with bra making. I think, they’re also sellers on Etsy, who will custom draft specific patterns to your measurements. Not that I want to discourage you from learning it yourself, but if you only just started sewing, you might get a little overwhelmed, trying to learn everything all at once.

[@kameamepopcorn9660]

@@raraavis7782 Hello, thank you very much for all your answers : D Actually, I'm able to sew. Not like a pro, but I'm not a complete beginner neither. I bought my first sewing machine 3 years ago, and my surger last October. I'm able to sew a legging. A simple skirt with elastic. A bra, (but I'm not sure if I increased the pattern at the "good space"). English is a real challenge for me, but I'll make do : D Could you provide me any name of seller on Etsy who could help plus size ladies? Thank you so much : )

[@GhettoStylewithEjai]

I am soooo glad you did this video, even though my mannequin has the dials for the adjustments it still didn't give enough for the breast and rear area. Question: my mannequin has an ellipse shape for the armhole instead of a circle shape, how do I drape for that armhole? Thank you for the video..

[@vane13p]

Hey, about the adjustable mannequin, do you think its a worthwhile investment? They always strike me as a bit flimsy.

[@GhettoStylewithEjai]

Vanessa Hi there, I actually like the mannequin 😀 it’s been working for me for years. I’ve just started to drape and had a problem with the armhole part.

[@vane13p]

@@GhettoStylewithEjai oh that's good to hear. Thanks for getting back to me x

[@GhettoStylewithEjai]

Vanessa No problem thank you for asking

[@raraavis7782]

Vanessa One advantage of styrofoam mannequins is, though, that you can push needles into them. And you can also make them strategically smaller, by removing material with a knife (I have small boobs, so that was important to me). And they‘re cheap. Mine was just like 20 € of eBay. Of course, if you need it to work for different people, an adjustable one, is better, but otherwise...I would recommend styrofoam.

[@bettythomas2592]

Glad I found you . I’m inspired to get back to 🧵 sewing again. I am coming to New York in June where again do you get fabric?

[@meacelestin]

The limit to this system is why also never bought the Fabulous Fit system: though you could alter the shell to fit, you cannot actually shorten the rigid inner structure of the form. I am 1,53cm or a smidge over 5ft tall, and a proportional hourglass Petite. It is not possible to alter *length* measurements on forms such as the one you show. My back length is 39cm. I also have a smaller frame and narrower shoulders, even if my circumference measurements fit into a standard size. My hip to waist distance is, again, shorter. You can't compensate for Swayback, either. So this works IF your torso is the standard length of the dressform. Short people and Tall people cannot really just pad up a dressform. It would be good to add this caveat.
