What is a body form, you ask? When making a garment, it's so much easier, faster and more accurate to create your fit on a dress or body form. Of course, it only works if your dress or body form mimics your own figure exactly – if it becomes your "body double."
Watch expert fitter Joe Vecchiarelli, straight from Hollywood, as he begins with taking proper measurements and recreating an exact replica of his fit model. Follow along and learn how to take body measurements and choose the perfect body form size to begin with. You will then pad your form in all the right places using tools and industry techniques from Hollywood fitting rooms to create an accurate replica of your body.
From trial fittings of paper patterns to garment designs draped right on the form, this "body double" becomes an essential part of your fashion sewing toolbox. The results: a body double that allows for perfectly fit garments any Hollywood diva would envy!
