However, I'm just about to put up a post about the model and think it may not be possible to use it ... Unfortunately, too, the shoulders are impossible! I bought a new cover and can't get it on. Also, one of the dresses I made Helen wouldn't go over these shoulders. Maybe I should get a collapsible shoulder model!!

You should be able to work with your existing form as long as the shoulders aren't too large. Shoulders are impossible to cut down but anything else can be padded to shape. Let me know if anything is confusing.<br />Good luck with your wedding sewing. Yes, it's just like sewing a dress so don't get too stressed.Cloning Couturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14318090784680489874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330020043629144522.post-67364922590094328332015-11-01T16:39:11.974+00:002015-11-01T16:39:11.974+00:00Such a charming creation!You have a great blog:)

I think with the model as with the sewing, I have to stop procrastinating and bite the bullet!

I don't know what to suggest about making your stand the right size for Helen. I think I would use some soft padding material and try to build it up a bit.

Yes, there is a fair bit of work in the course but I have 30 weeks to do what we did in 10 last year so I'm not concerned about that, except it's an excuse to procrastinate on the bridal wear!

As you say, useful learning but not quite right for bridal wear. I guess you will have a learning curve ahead of you with making these special dresses. But really, they are just dresses, and you have made those before.<br />Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.com
