men's tailor dummy

You most local sewing store is a good place to start: there are several brands of adjustable dress forms available, and they come in child, small, medium and large female, and two sized of male forms that I have seen in catalogues here in the UK. Try Joanne's, Hancocks, or some of the on-line stores, if your local machine/sewing supplies shop cannot help.

There used to be one called Mr. Ardis, I believe, and I'm fairly certain it was adjustable. You might do a search on Jo-Ann's (and others) website for that name. Karen Maslowski in Cincinnati

Good thing my wife hasn't seen this post! She'd volunteer my services as a male dummy !

But do you change size at the twist of a dial? Or does it take weeks of dieting or pigging out on chocolate?

You could make one yourself using duct tape. Instructions are at several online sites.

Try this page for a Mr. Ardis form; it's adjustable.

Ok, I can't sew for ...... but I want to. I'm alone so it's hell trying to pin a pattern on my own tush! But I have an artist friend who took a class in of all things mold making. They use an algae to make an EXACT body mold and then pour plaster or some of the other things to make a casting mold. Now with the new year I'm going to bug my friend to find out where I get the stuff at an affordable price.

I went to:

butI can't afford the $865.... I'm just too poor for that. I want to buya new sewing machine. The only one I have is like 30 years old... If you find an affordable form please post the info here? Thanks Stephen

From $119.95-$129.95 and $449.95 - any of these is lest than $865...

As someone mentioned earlier, you can make your own body double using duct tape. Some instructions are here:

There are instructions for a couple different techniques. You will need help with this (it is simply impossible to do it properly by yourself), but it's relatively cheap and doesn't require special equipment and all the other person has to be able to do is wrap tape around you while you're wearing a t-shirt.

along with some hilarious stories from people who've tried this method. Karen Maslowski in Cincinnati

Thank you I never saw the Mr. Ardis form! I'm also sometimes blind... The $120. looks real good. Now I just have to work on the size 44 and lower .....

But thanks for the info. Stephen

LOL! It isn't something you'd do by your lonesome, for sure!
