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

  6. I love them too. And, as I am working to take my sewing from mediocre to fabulous I am in absolute need of one. I found your site while looking for French forms to inform a post I was writing.

    Thank you for sharing.
