How to Sew a Customized Dress Form with your GRD Method Moulage

Published 2022-11-19
Do you want to make a customized dress form or mannequin? This is a fantastic way to check fittings with your body double, and it opens up the world of draping!

If you have your customized moulage that you made with the GRD Method, you can refer to this video for the sewing instructions.

If you haven't made your customized moulage yet and would like to, I teach a course showing you step-by-step how to measure and draft your own. The GRD Method is the only method that gives you customized dart depths and shoulder slopes based on your body measurements.

To find out more, there is a free mini-course that opens before the course enrollment: www.ginareneedesigns.com/free-pattern-making-cours…

In the online course, Making a Moulage - the GRD Method, you will not only draft and fit a moulage, but you will also create a sloper from your moulage. The moulage and slopers are used as a solid foundation to create and design the clothes of your dreams.

You can sign up for the waitlist to join the course here: www.grdmethod.com/

I hope you love your new dress form!

    I'm so happy to have just heard about you. I have watched and subscribe to a lot of YouTube channels that focus on men's and women's fashion and sewing/tailoring. Your channel has never come up before. I only found out about you when some sewists mentioned you on Facebook! The quality and fit of your moulage, slopers, customized dress forms look excellent. Plus I like your patterns. Thank you Gina!

    How much money in USD do you estimate you spent on your supplies? I think it would have been a few hundred dollars. You are highly skilled. You come across as so confident doing this.
  • @gibraltabago
    Can the extra layers in the seam allowances be trimmed off at the stitch line to reduce bulk in the seams?
  • @mooncake1976
    Hello gina, is your free mini class available on 2023??
  • @awiddie
    Is there a reason why you don’t topstitch (some of) your seams? I’m wondering the whole time how nice that would look.

    Hi Gina, can you put this on a dress form? And stuff it in areas to form an accurate body outline/shape of your own body. Would it work?
