This is the plaster gauze dressform that I had blogged about. I didn’t have time to finish it with an official fabric covering and a stand. So I simply put one of my turtleneck shirts over it and I plopped it over a radiator and it worked out rather decently.
I am making a prototype of my wedding dress using muslin (very cheap cotton fabric). I had even gone to the extent of sewing boning to ensure a good fit.
I stayed fairly true to the original pattern, except that I had switched the gaudet (the extra gathered fabric on the side) from the left to the right side, and rather than three very large pleats, I am creating a rouged bodice.
The color differences between the different pieces of the dress are unintentional at this point. I purchased the cheapest muslin I could find which happened to be the yellow color. Then it turned out that it I needed a much wider fabric in order to make the skirt, and that was only available in white.
