50% Off? Whaaaa….?
So, about that dress form. The company, Fabulous Fit® is having a 50% Off sale. What that means is I’m getting the Pro Matrix Full Body Dress Form. For comparison, the one I was going to get, this one:
…is about $700 (comes w/2 attachable arms, and the company’ Patented Fitting System). This one is NOT on sale.
But this one:
…just went half-priced for $1100. So, for $400 more…, I can have the super-whammo-dyne Pro Matrix. Could not be more thrilled!
Husband: Hey! I’m going broke with how you save me money!
Me: I know, honey, I know.
I also ordered their book, “Fit Made Easy“. Good info in this book and I’m impatiently waiting for the dress form to come in. I don’t think the company has a warehouse that they ship these forms out, maybe they just make them to fill orders. It’ll take about 3-4 weeks. One week down, 2-3 weeks to go. I really need it.
In the meantime, I threw together a very simple idiot-proof top (think: no-frills summer top). And it does not fit right! Yea!
Why “Yea!” ? Well, after reading “Fit Made Easy“, I can recognize corrections that need to be made and today, I get to spend all day long in my sewing room doing play-play with some new found knowledge! See? Yea! Sure, it’ll be more fun with my new dress form, but I’m looking forward to it putting what I read about in the book to practical use. Play-Play.
I’m toying with starting a new quilt today. That’ll help burn through the 2-3 weeks waiting for my dress form. I’ve got some gorgeous fabric upstairs but I don’t dare cut into it for clothing right now. I can only sew with fabrics I bought on sale for $3.00/yd because I suck at garment construction for the moment. I’d like to play with my pretty fabric.
Just something in the back of my head I’m thinking about.
