Re: [h-cost] Dress Form Class: was williamsburg suit
One of the problems with the papertape and ducttape forms is that they are not really corrected after being made. Standing up for 2 hours or so, getting glued up with automatically make you slouch, so what you get is a dressform with a bad posture ;-) The teacher is using some special strong paper and glue to get the form, then the form is cut up and corrected to your normal bodyshape, a thin layer of padding is put on, and a fabric cover is made. What you get is an exact copy of yourself, minus the slouching. Oh, those 3000 danish kr is a long weekend course Friday noon to Monday night with overnight stay and food.
