Standard Dress Form Top Size 8 PDF Patterns

Patterns and detailed instructions for making the dress form top.

Have you dreamed of a high-quality and inexpensive mannequin for sewing clothes? Make it your own with patterns from BetterSew!

Made of simple and readily available materials, the soft dress form will allow you to use a variety of modeling methods (including the dummy or mock-up method). You can easily pierce it with full length pins at any angle, iron and steam clothes. Thanks to the combination of a soft shell and a rigid frame, the dress form perfectly replicates the proportions of the female body, has the dimensions and parameters of a standard figure, and allows you to design and demonstrate not only outerwear, but also underwear.

Dress form from BetterSew has shoulders and a neck with flat ends to allow attachment of arms and head. You can choose the chest size (cup AA, A, or B) and position them on the torso as needed. The mannequin is traditionally mounted on a stand, but you can easily use the mannequin without a stand by simply placing it on a table or floor. 

Please note, the dress form is divided into sections, this product comes with instructions and patterns for the upper half of the torso only. It includes three cup sizes AA, A and B. If you plan to collect a full torso, you will also need a bottom of the same size. We also have patterns for the torso cover, as well as patterns for the head and arms (already included with the covers).

See the "Documentation" tab for a size chart, measurement recommendations, and a list of materials needed for manufacturing.
