In this session, I taught how to pad a dress form to match specific body measurements and shape.
I demonstrated adding padding to create a fuller bust, rounded stomach, and wider hips to replicate the body’s curves.
Lesson Steps:
- Measured the body at key points (bust, waist, hips, etc.) and compared to dress form
- Pinned dress form at measured lengths to mark where padding needed to be added
- Cut batting pieces to cover areas needing extra padding (bust, stomach, hips)
- Draped and pinned batting layers onto the dress form, molding and shaping as needed
- Stitched padding layers in place once the desired shape was achieved
- Adjusted padding as required to precisely match the body’s measurements
