This weekend my dd will be helping me to create a new Fanny Dinky dress form. She's named Fanny after Fanny Brice, whose story is told in the movie Funny Girl. The first words in that movie are (spoken by Fanny to her reflection in a mirror) "Hello, gorgeous". This is why my dress form is named Fanny--I can walk by her and say, "Hello, gorgeous". I like doing that.
I want a new dress form because, thanks to Pilates workouts, my hips are more even! I thought they were hopelessly uneven due to my scoliosis, but the Pilates training really helped, and very quickly, too. DD made Mrs. Dinky I using brown craft tape (the kind you wet with water to make it sticky) so she's an experienced dress form maker. The current Mrs. Dinky's edges are a little rough so we're going to smooth them out this time. More info on making a paper tape dress form can be found here and here . You can also make your own dress form using duct tape.
