the secret world of dressforms.

so, one of the last dresses i sewed highlighted my need for a dress form. i had too much to ask for. a really sturdy one like that on the 3rd page of this this catalog but adjustable as i'm starting to sew for people and people aren't "standardized". my search led me to the adjustoform company. in case you didn't know, they are the ones responsible for the dritz dressforms in america. they carry similar models but sell them in the uk under better names such as the diana and helena... and my personal favorite "supafit" - just because it reminds me of supafly! anyhoo, i want the lady valet dress form in ecru and in sizes small and medium. oh yeah. it's a bit pricey. ok. a lot pricey. but i figure if you are gonna buy something for such purposes, you should buy the best you can get. so it's free shipping within the uk and i called to ask for shipping prices to the US. around a 100 pounds. almost the same cost as the form itself. so i said to myself... i smell a trip to london in my near future... free shipping and a vacay! lol. drew and i were already contemplating a trip and this just filled up my pro column!
