DIY dress form (from scratch)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I made this dress form, from scratch so I could make sewing clothes and cosplays easier. It is completely pinnable without the sticky needles duchtape dress forms give you. Great for fittings and draping, and because I used mostly trash is was very cheap to make! Give it a try in quarantine ;)
Tutorials mentioned:
- Full tape pattern tutorial (totally spies bodysuit): • Bodysuit pattern tutor...
- Basic tape pattern tutorial: • How to draw your own f...
- Ladder stitch: • How To: Ladder Stitch ...
I used: saran wrap, tape, scissors PVC pipes, 6 elbow joints, 2 to 4 T joints, canvas fabric, old mattress and a pillow, 2cm thick scraps of foam, stuff to sew, and to cut pvc, pen/marker and paper, ruler and tape measue, iron, old bra
This tutorial is meant for people who have a basic knowledge/ experience with sewing and prop making.
I am in no way a professional. I can only try to explain how I personally make my costumes.
I learned mostly through trial and error so explaining this process can be hard. If you have any questions or requests, please let me know in the comments below.

    I like how u made the pattern from duct tape but not the finished product. That’s what I was looking for specifically and ur video and one other are the only ones to gv me that. The other one was using special space age material which uses heat to harden which is still not pinnable. Urs is completely pinnable and can be made from scrap material. I will be using some of ur technique and some of the other but I appreciate u keeping it to what I can afford because that’s why i would prefer to try the duct tape method. Naming ur video “pinnable dress form from duct tape pattern” might be helpful for others looking for this method.

    The dressform it self probably won't be that much heavier. The stuffing doesn't weigh that much. If you glue the PVC pipes they will probably be strong enough. It won't nearly be as heave as a real person. If you are making a super big dress form and are worried, you could also use steel pipes. It does get more expensive and the frame will be heavy, but it will be very strong. Goodluck!

    I would say it's worth the try! I think you will be able to do it if you are patient and take your time. I had the most trouble with the crotch. So if you don't need the legs and are having doubts if you can do it, I would say maybe skip those and just make the torso. Good luck!

    Go for it! Worst case scenario you had a good practice and learned a bunch. Best case scenario you have the perfect dress form. Either way is a win in my book 😉

    @@CreativeChaosCostumes i will! I have two more questions if you don't mind. One: does it matter how thick the fabric is as long as it is not stretchy? I have a canvas material and i have a standard cotton print from joann's. I'd like to use pattern print so it will look prettier but would it be too thin? Idk if i should just use the canvas. Two: most of the patterns I've seen cut much smaller pieces i.e. around the breast or curves. You've gone in just long strips. So, does it make a difference to the form if you make less pieces? Yours seemed to come out fine though.

    I can't tell you if your material will be too thin without feeling it. You will be pulling on it a lot and it needs to keep your stuffing smooth. I think the best course of action would be the canvas first en than the pretty layer on top. Than the canvas can do the hard work and the pretty cotton will be what you see. I feel it worked just fine with the long strips. I do think if you need your breasts to be very exact that more pattern pieces help with that. So if you want to drape bra cups on it etc. My dress form doesn't have the dip between my breasts, but I personally don't wear clothes (except bra's, and I don't drape those) that need to be form fitting between them. So I have not have issues yet.
