This can make creating a good fit in a garment very challenging., , If you would like to have a dress form which is a duplicate of your body to use to fit or drape garments more successfully, this course is for you. It is also useful if you want to make clothes for other people. Once you have your own dress form, you will be able to fit your garments with ease., , No previous experience is required to benefit from this course., , ,
