I tried the it twice and both times I see the same thing that is happening in your picture. The bust on mine is not the same from side to side and the same is for the hips. Also, it’s impossible to work on and pin it because the glue gets stuck on the pins.
It’s really time consuming to make and mine didn’t work. I actually tried the dial dress forms to be able to match my measurements and shape, but again the my form expands evenly and creates holes as you expand it. I gain and lose weight all the time so I needed a dress form that would allow me to do that.
I looked into fabulous fit dress form and found out that they had a padding system that you can apply to your dress form. Their dress forms look great but I thought to just try the padding on my dial dress form first to save money, and to my surprise it worked like a charm.
I can pad up just a single area if gain weight in my stomach or all areas singularly. The fabulous fit padding system really works for me.
