French Dress Forms

I have this thing for French dress forms.

Knowing the forms were once used to help make and fit a new garment fills my heart with joy.

When I sew a new blouse or dress I use a form to attach the cut out pattern pieces. It seems to make the process much easier.

I usually don't follow the pattern, but use the form to piece the garment together.

The embellished forms are a piece of art.

Ayez un beau jour
