My New Dress Form - Uniquely You

Photo from Atlanta Thread and Supply.com
One day, not so long ago (okay, it was February), a curious young woman walked into Mood Fabrics on Pico, eager to explore the world of designer fabrics once again. For the past week, the sewing bug had bitten her, pushing her to connect fabric with thread.

"To sew! To sew!" she thought. "I simply have to sew!"

She had a pattern in mind, Very Easy Vogue 8379. But, she wanted to stick a toe in a pond other than JoAnn's Etc for the moderate stretch fabric the pattern required.

So, on this rather normal day, she walked into Mood Fabrics. Passing a Wolf / PGM style dress form, she asked asked the first young sales associate she saw about its' sizing. Realizing that professional form sizing wasn't going to cover her behind, literally, she as the young sales person if she personally owned one.

"No", the young woman replied. "I actually have a 'Uniquely You' dress form."

"Uniquely You", the curious shopper asked. "What's that?"
