    OK I know this is a strange request but would anyone know where I could get a dress making dummy?

    Something like this

    I didn't know what forum to ask in and as we have people on here working in retail I thought this would be the best place.

    Thanks.

    My OH does costume design, and she uses these dressmaking dummies for making clothes. They are adjustable so you can make them bigger or smaller depending on the size of thing you want to make. She got hers on ebay for like €80, which is good as they can cost a lot more if you were to buy them brand spanking new.

    Hope this helps mate

    argos in the North sell them!

    Also if its just for yourself at home google how to make a duct tape dress form.

    Would love to have one but don't really have the space.

    Theres a crafts forum that might be more suited to your query if its for dressmaking.
