Possibly one of the best, most helpful dress form tutorials out there. The lower portion of my body isn't necessarily standard-sized either, so I'm particularly thankful for this one.
For real though how does this not have more views I'm sharing the hell out of this because there are like million duct tape forms and they SUCK this is light weight and true to size hell yeah
Masterful! Your knowledge of videotaping and editing and teaching are awesome--in addition, of course, to your superb fashion design and sewing/tailoring skills. I will use this video as the model for any video demos that I produce. You have set a high standard, indeed! Thank you! (BTW, I have zero interest in diy fashion and will never do the type of work that you do, but I watched in fascination because your tutorial is such an exemplar of a great video demo.)
I think the purpose of draping the cover is so that you have the grid lines like you would find on the dress form (for pattern making). Tights would work too as long as you can clearly see the lines drawn on the foam through them (and if they don't run when pinned multiple times).
This is the most accurate, beautiful, and functional method for making a dress form that I've seen yet! I plan to combine these techniques with others I've found to make my own soon. A good form is invaluable for dressmaking/alterations. Thank you for taking the time and care to put together this excellent tutorial!
Wow, amazing thank you. I made my own mannequin using casting material and two part expanding foam. But this looks cheaper to make and i need a leg mannequin now. Thanks so much for showing how to make the stand too.
Love this. I've seen the duct tape dress forms, but this is the first one I've seen for pants. I like the use of masking tape. I think it works better than duct tape. Last year my daughter & I used the duct tape method to make a quick corset for Halloween costume. We use plastic wrap under the tape. Never thought of using newspaper. Originally we planned on making a pattern from the duct tape form, but time was running short, so we just cut it up the back, reinforced the edge & added a lace. (So lucky you can buy duct tape in any color.)
I have to sew all my own pants because ready-to-wear never fits. This video has definitely been the answer to my situation and will make the process easier with fewer alterations. I did an upper body form using paper mache but I like this method much better. I would use plastic bags though instead of newspaper. It forms better to the body's shapes. Thank you for sharing!
If you mark horizontal lines on the form before you cut the paper, you can match up the lines when you put it back together. Easier to do with a helper! Foam irritates my hands, gloves recommended. You make it look so easy 😉
Ok sis! You just saved me from buying a form...I'm making pants and i wanted to see if I could DIY before I purchased one. As everyone has already said everything about this tutorial was flawlessly done 👍🏾.
You did an amazing job at this, just happened to stumble across the video and I watched the entire thing. You have patience!!! But what a beautiful outcome. I would love to do this some day. Thanks for the tutorial!!!!!
This is so awesome, not everyone can afford hundreds of dollars for a true body double this approach is affordable enough to make one for anyone. I will definitely try this for myself and I will be posting the link to your video everywhere! You deserve way more likes!
Brilliant!!! I am going to incorporate some of your ideas with those of another. I love the foam, the bit of padding, and the cover-in-pieces, marking the reference points!!! Thank you 😃
Thanks for subscribing. I have already made one in my very first video (a 4 part tutorial). That one I made with plaster bandages but working with masking tape is far better. The very same procedure as done in this video applies to making one for your upper body.
I have a tutorial for the upper body as well but done with different materials. However, some of the materials as shown in this leg form tutorial are better to work with

THANK YOU! Finally a video that shows how to create a form without a second person! This is a wonderful demonstration, thank you for posting it.
Love it!! And here I was wanting to spend $150 on a mannequin that might not be my size... when i can be my own dress form. THANK YOU!
Marcella Barraza yes between this and all the other diy dress form videos . I’m getting into it but those dress forms are just not in my budget at all
I love the fact that this is all done independently. Great work!
This is my one of 2 most satisfying and informative vidoes I have ever seen on TH-cam. Thank you so much for this.
i am BAFFLED by how easy and good and safe and true to size this dressform is!
Thank you very much!

Never watched a pants form tutorial before. Definitely saving this because bottoms are where it's always hard to shop for! Thanks, sis~
I would use a thick pair of tights to cover it, Brilliant idea Thanks
I'm thinking a pair of thick stretch cotton leggings, and using the left over leg for the top. That's how I'm making mine right now.
Ingenious idea- this seems very time consuming

watching this was pure satisfaction..the process, the music the result.. just beautiful!
Genius!❤️

Thank you! I totally agree

100% amazing. The best tutorial I’ve ever seen and it was chat free!! 💗
That was a very interesting. I love the approach you took. It may also work for a dress form too. I love it. Very precise.
Thanks for watching. Yes, it can definitely also work for an (upper body) dress form.
This has to be the most genius thing I have ever seen on youtube, you are incredible !
And you have the most amazing body
Can you use tights or panty hose to cover it? Perhaps 2 pairs if needed?
Yeah sure
This is first leg form I’ve seen , you did awesome job on it your tutorial is great !
Wow I only just found your channel. I am so thankful to you for sharing your talent with us. Blessings and great success in all you do🙏🏽

Best looking form I have seen yet!!!

This is a fantastic idea! The only other thing I would mark is the kneecap, to judge skirt length.
You did a magnificent job. Kudos to your creativity. Also a master class on draping pants...

Can’t wait to try this!
Am sooo doing this...thnx a mil
Amazing tutorial!
This is a really great idea because pants tend to not fit me at the waist and in my butt and thigh area. Thank you!
I had that same issue. This was the only way for me to get a perfect fit.
Very creative
This is very clever! Nice job 😀
Love this! Thanks! 🧵🧵
Brilliant! Im sure masking tape is much easier to work with than duct tape.
Yes definitely. Also, it doesn’t work well with duct tape. The expanding foam doesn’t fully expand inside the mold.
You are a freakin genius!
omg im definitely going to do this, thank you so much!
This is cool, thanks for the video.
Wow Amazing!
