Show Notes
More dressform options are now available from Mimiquins. Jaire and Mia have created - now get this - legs and arms options for their dressforms. On their website, you'll see the people who have now received their Mimiquins and why they chose their dressform for their sewing needs. Luke, the winner of the Great British Sewing Bee 2024 had his dressform created for his drag queen persona. In 2024 we heard Yvonne of The Wheelie Stitcher talk about her dressform for her seated makes. Many thanks to Tanya https://www.instagram.com/i_still_have_nothing_to_wear/ for her permission to use the photos of her mimiquin purchase. There's nothing Jaire and Mia won't try to create for their customers. The core of their dressform consists of sustainable cardboard.
