Hey there,
So I'm looking at investing in a dress-maker's dummy. I'm looking at the large DF151G vs the medium DF150G in a Singer Adjustable Dress Form.
My problem is that, while the large will adjust to fit my hips and waist, it's too big in the bust[1]; and while the medium will fit through the bust, it doesn't adjust big enough to handle my waist and hips. They are both about six inches too narrow through the shoulders.
So my question, O' Sewing People of the Blogosphere, is: What the hell do I do about this?
Do I opt for the medium and add a LOT of padding all over it?
Do I opt for the large, and just deal with the not-quite-fitting in the bust area?
Do I just add derby/football armor to the shoulders?
Do I say "Screw it!" and build a papier-mache me on my own body, and build a dummy out of that?
Help me, Internets, you're my only hope!
