  I thought the height from the bust to neck was an error on my part! It's interesting you ran into the same issue. (I made the same pattern.) It's so disappointing after so much time spent on the dress form because it truly gets in the way and is very hard to fix.

  Another point to take into account is that when cutting without first having fused the fabric, it will shrink after fusion, altering the exact measurements. First it has to be 100% cotton denin which is processed so it will stretch less and second is to fuse it before cutting, another point is that the seams are blunt towards one end that will make the seams more reinforced like the "Royal Dress by Poluterano" In that case the whole pin goes in and you can see that it is pointed to a side that is convenient according to the seam. Another point is that you can take out the mold of your body with paper tape and from that make your mold based on the prototype you made. If you don't make the video, I was thinking of doing 1. If not, I know how to obtain the internal reinforcement. Why do I only have the perfect mold for the external part and how can I access my internal part and calculate it?

  Good morning, I bought the full body from Bootstrap Fashion and I've done it three times now, I'm desperate...and I have exactly the same problem with the width of the back, it's much smaller on the mannequin than the measurement that I sent. Did you find a solution? thank you in advance for your help.

  Thanks for your thoughts! I did a bootstrap dressform about a month back and encountered a lot of the same issues. While it came out alright, the breasts were too low, and there were other minor issues. Personally I wish I had put the money aside to save up for a really good quality dressform instead of making my own. While I’m glad I got the experience of making one I’m disappointed since I don’t trust it enough to drape or get an accurate enough fit.

  The odd boob problem is a common problem. People usually put one of their bras on the form and stuff the cups. It works well. I've had a dress form for me and my husband for several years and recently added one for my granddaughter so she can sew her own stuff. I only wear dresses because dresses flatter my apple shape best so no legs needed. And the husband gets only shirts made. I'm not going to tackle zip flys. People normally name their dress firms. I thought it was weird but then i found myself referring to mine as Mr and Mrs. Granddaughter is of course princess.

  I have been working on my own form. Torso only, and it has been a real chore. I was considering the bootstrap, but decided against it, because, what I noticed in the countless youtube videos of people making their custom forms was that the shoulders look too high. So I'm assuming that that is the "back to bust" mesurement you mentioned in your video. The other issue is the lumps from the filler. Im worried my form will have this same problem. I do hope you decide to revisit this project, I'm very curious to see how you approach the issues you have with it.

• 
  @TheLittleChookie4 ай бұрын

  Yes, it appears that the high shoulders in Bootstrap forms is connected to discrepancies in the 'back to bust' measurement. Despite encountering this issue, I've found great encouragement and inspiration from the comments and suggestions provided here. I'm considering giving it another try in a month or two. What pattern are you using for your dress form? Have you considered incorporating a layer of batting to smooth out any lumps? Some other comments have recommended using a layer of batting, although I haven't had the opportunity to test it myself yet. I'm curious to see the results of your approach!

  @seestellysew84724 ай бұрын

  @@TheLittleChookie Yes, I think I will. I’m full figured, I like to refer to myself as lush, and a custom body form for me with arms and legs are in the thousands. So I believe that even though it will be quite a bit of work and a few hundred dollars, it’ll be worth it. I’m going to follow your suggestion and make a mock up first. This is something I have to do with all patterns, even the ones I self draft so, it isn’t a negative to me. I’m hoping to do it this April as I’m extremely busy in March, I will post it to my channel and refer back to yours, if that’s okay with you?

  Excellent video. I’ve been hoping someone would do the full body bootstrap form. I have purchased 2 bootstrap upper body forms (2 years apart) and both had the same issue as yours - way too long from back neck to bust point. My dress form boobs hang way too low 😢. (I’ve noticed this with just about every single one of them I’ve seen in photos and on KZread also). It’s a lot of work to then realize that the entire project needs to be altered and re-sewn. It’s also very costly and hard to get a smooth finish. I’m currently experimenting and making a bust form (free download I found) with EVA foam instead which is pin-able but also firm and can be filled with expanding foam and then a soft knit cover can be added over top to make it more aesthetic. If it works out I will film it 😊. Thank you for sharing your beautiful job! Sorry it didn’t work out perfectly but it will still be a nice form to display some me-makes in your sewing studio!

  Glad others are finding the video helpful! It's unfortunate that Bootstrap Fashion hasn't addressed this pattern issue despite it persisting for several years. I just watched the AFI Atelier tutorial you linked and saw the Timelace Studio pattern. I have not seen that before and I love the contour shape of the pattern pieces. I would absolutely be interested in seeing how yours turns out. Now you got me thinking about making a second dress form 😅

  @karingrif72384 ай бұрын

  Hey little cookie, sorry I didn’t get your name. You would need to pull out the stuffing and use a quilting batting I think it’s called. Use that first and cut your shapes of the legs again. That will make the legs a smoother finish.(. don’t pull this stuff apart ) that should give a smoother effect. ….then use your stuffing pieces again on the inside of the legs….hope you can understand what I’m saying.its a great effort…if any of the sections don’t seem correct make the section again,,,,,I know it’s so much work…..otherwise you won’t be happy. You could always use shapewear over the top to add a little more bulk …😊

• 
  @TheLittleChookie4 ай бұрын

  Thank you for the suggestions! I'm considering redoing the dress form. Using quilt batting seems like a promising idea, though it does require quite a bit of effort. If it helps smooth out the legs, I'll definitely consider it. Additionally, I'm thinking of completely redoing the torso, adjusting the pattern with accurate back width and front shoulder to bust measurements. Maybe I'll revisit this project in a couple of months with a fresh perspective, redo it, and then post a part 2! 😅

  That makes me so happy to hear that my tutorial helped you make your very own chicken! The triangles can be a bit fiddly. An alternative could be to cut out the comb and beak with a single piece of felt. That way you could avoid the ironing and it would probably stay in place easier. I hope you continue sewing, it gets easier with time and is so rewarding to build and grow sewing skills.
