Torpedo Boobs!!!

Posted by Paulette on May 27, 2009 in Sewing |

The new and “improved” ME!! I got a Uniquely You dress form. J loved it also but for different reasons:

  1. look at those boobs!!
  2. she doesn’t talk back
  3. she doesn’t spend any money!!!!

I stopped talking to him after that….she and I are getting along great…although I was amazed at her boobage – how in the hell was I going to stuff those into the cover and look like mine? Apparently they are really smooshy and fit just fine. I had a friend help with the fitting and while doing that, we marked all the important parts on the cover such as the neckline, hollow of my throat, waist, hip (high and low). This will make fitting so efficient – I won’t say easy but efficient!! Plus now I can set her up in the window to freak out the neighbors. :)

I currently have my Claire Schaeffer muslin on her so I can remember what I still need to do before next class on Sunday.



I’m so happy….but I still need to name her….hmm…..

Holy sh$t. You weren’t kidding about the boobs!! I bet he LOVES them. You’ll have to make sure he doesn’t sneak down to visit her after you’ve gone to bed!!!

What are those stringy things between the boobs?

Dawn -
The strings between the mashed torpedos is basically string that is to be used to create “natural” separation….uh, ok.

I taught a customized dressform class a few years ago using those Uniquely You dressforms. We “trimmed” those puppies down to fit into a bra before adding a cover made from power net. …it surfices to say it was a very silly class :)
