A Dress Form that is 'Me'!
Patricia Martin, San Luis Obispo, California
Patricia says:
I have been in the studio without distraction this week so I worked on a personal project. It benefits no one but me. A dress form that is me.
I used a variety of resources to create the shell over the old dress form.
The body was inspired by the my.blueprint video by Judy Jackson. The pattern I used was Simplicity 8258.
The sleeves were developed using the Kenneth Kings article in the latest Threads magazine (thank you Kenneth). (May 2020, page 62).
My comments:
It is interesting the body image we have in our heads and what it is when we see it removed from the self. This was a project I have felt the need to do for some time. It will help me with some designing I have planned for the handwoven fabrics I create and to check my Garment Designer patterns ease.
