using a dress form
Hello everyone. This isn't a quilting question but I'm hoping someone may help me. I really would love to start sewing some of my own clothes, especially slacks. Being in my early 60s I find clothes shopping frustrating as they all seem to be for the 20s-30s set. I am considering buying a dress form as my biggest problem is getting patterns to fit and wondered if anyone uses dress forms? If so, are they worth the investment? I'm thinking once I had a pattern to fit me why would I need to use it again. I would appreciate any input any of you may have and thank you, in advance
