« on: June 12, 2020, 19:26:31 PM »
Hello.Does anyone know of  any patterns or books with patterns for dolls  that are more natural shaped bur not great big busty babes with some small facial features and not great big lumpy feet or hands ,more like Willowwyn dolls or Disney tinkerbell. I do not want to have them as models, I would like them for grandchildren to play with though. Any free pattern links appreciated too.
Thank you

Dress Forms / Personalising a adjustable dress form
« on: June 11, 2020, 10:27:21 AM »
Hello
I am enquiring if anyone can give some advice.
I have a adjustable dress form which my hubby bought as a gift, I have tried various different methods to personalise the shape, all complete failures ( padding(too soft and squishy) adding rice for heavier saggy bits ;), duct tape outer skin, bra and padding). I have recently had a renewed interest in trying to deal with it as its just gathering dust. I have quite a varied shape and it needs quite an enlargement even though it is a larger one. Any suggestions, I really want to use the form as a base as I do not want to upset hubby as he spent quite a bit on it and tried to be thoughtful but am lost.
I saw the bootstrap patterns but it does say not for use on an existing form. I also looked at moulages but can't find any free instructions with equations and I am hoping not to spend to much more on this.
So please any suggestions or links would be gratefully received, there must be plenty of people out there that has the same issue. Thank you
