Melanie & Cin, Thanks for the replies. I think that I will try Cin's suggestion first and then Melanie's -- I have to admit I'm a bit afraid of trying to carve the foam! lol
Happy Holidays, ~mary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Melanie Schuessler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> If you can't squash it sufficiently by taking in the fabric cover, take an electric knife to the foam itself and carve off the extra bits. Be prepared for a huge mess, but electric knives are generally the best thing for cutting foam rubber. Good luck, Melanie Schuessler From: Cin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mary, Make the dress form cover fit the daughter snuggly. UY's boobs compress lots. Really! I also have a petite dummy with the same bust size as you. You may have to wrestle the dummy on the floor and put your knee in her back to get the cover on, but the foam does squish. Yeah, even those torpedo tits. --cin Cynthia Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [h-cost] Uniquely You dressform - how to remodel? All the posts recently about dress forms, and specifically the Uniquely You, has prompted me to ask: How do I give one breast reduction surgery? I bought a petite sized one to make ballet costumes for my daughter (and other dancers), but her bust is definitely smaller -- and less "pointy" -- than the dress form's bust. I haven't got a clue how to reduce the size without giving it a mastectomy! Any suggestions? I assume that others have had to do this too.... We have been using the dress form, but it is slightly useless when nothing closes in front/back and hems end up too high in front!!
