Whigrose, I'm interested in this topic, too, and would join group about it. I asked a year or two on this board, also. I received several responses and if I can find and post the thread I will. One lady was about to make her own form and maybe I can contact her to see if she ever did. I read a good article in a garment magazine (Threads?) about making one. I also looked on-line and found some ideas. If memory serves I think the best fit is if you're going to make your own. Timeconsumming and you may need help, but maybe worth the trouble if you want good fit. That's my biggest hurdle - getting a good fit. I'm so frustrated trying to get commercial patterns to fit me. I feel like I have decent enough skills as far as the actual sewing, I just want it to look good and not 'homemade.'
