I'm looking for a dress form, not the wired ones, but the ones with fabric. I'd post this in the Buy Trade Swap section, but I'm just looking for a place to buy it for cheap... I am going to try thrift stores and stuff but just seeing if anyone knows other places to look.

A plus size one is a plus! lol

I found one on ebay for $35. It's perfect.

Aw, Man! Our Joanns was just clearing them out on clearance about 2 weeks ago...I wonder if they have any more??

The cheapest I have seen them online or at Joann's is around $100 here... Our thrift stores either keep them to use for diplays, or they sell the minute they hit the floor. I have been looking for one too... maybe try craigs list?

They have a warehouse in East Brunswick, NJ and sell online also. They have different sizes, but it may be more than you want to pay. I suggest send the seller an email to ask about the size you want if you are even interested. Good luck.

My sister once found one at Goodwill. That would take a lot of searching, though. Maybe Craig's list?

I have instructions for making a dress form using your body as the mold and using duct tape. If you would like them, PM me and I'll get them to you.
