As I don't want to keep putting on and taking off sewing projects, I bought
myself a dressmakers' dummy (finally), but for trousers/slacks I still have
to keep trying them on and off till I get it right.
Why don't they make the torso ones with legs and arms :-(
Is there such a thing? Please say yes :)
If not, how do others manage?
Thanks
Katherine

I always wear something loose and easy to take on and off,
as well as slip-on shoes when I'm sewing slacks for myself.
I am not at all sure one would ever be able to rely on a
form for fitting slacks, and *I* am always *right there*!
;-).

Yikes! I just scrolled down to the price: US$2,227.00!!! I
can do a lot of stash-buying for that kind of change.
Beverly, who'll continue using her own body, thanks ;-}

If I'm home alone and the weather is warm, I sew in my underwear. The
cats don't mind, and I don't even have to take anything off to try
something on.
