Dorothy tells us about a dress form she has:
Hello!
I live in a small house which leads to a certain amount of creativity if you need something basic like a dress form. eBay to the rescue with a 1960's (my best guess) and a wire mesh flexible form. If needed it can be totally disassembled and stored in a closet. It is fit by opening or squeezing the mesh to adjust the fit. Old T shirts can be used to cover to smooth and should one decide to leave it a specific size a padded cover using quilt batting with the T shirt works nicely. (I have a dust cover T on it now.) The form is not as sturdy as other molded forms, but fully assembled is amazingly sturdy for the purpose. The closure is with snaps at center front and back. There are rods that hold the form in position.
I look forward the meeting!
Dorothy
