OK, this has to be the coolest development yet - a dressform made EXACTLY to measure by a 3-D printer!!! check out the company working on this at "DittoForms". The technology is available only in Washington (DC) at the moment, but efforts are being made at making it more widely accessible. Almost worth travelling to DC for...
Why is this so exciting? 3D technology will make a dressform exactly like the person - the slope of the shoulder, the slight differences between the slope of the shoulders, the size of the armhole, the natural asymmetry of the body, the curve of the back - the list goes on and on. Not even the very best and most expensive dressform fits any real person perfectly. Enter 3D... wow!
Only one of the many things I learned at Costume College today - for this, thanks to my fellow student Alex.
