Meet Claudia, my bust form!
Do you guys know why I have not shared bras I made these past years? Because once in a while I have sewed one or two bras for me to wear. Well the reason, as stupid as it is, is that every time I made a bra and took the camera out to shoot a few pictures, the bra was lying lifeless on the table. And every single time I got upset, I could not show you the bra on the body (did not get to a level where I can share pictures with me). Eventually, I gave up shooting bras I made.
My heart did not let me buy a professional dress form. One from a respectable company. More than 600$ sounds a little too much for this object. I do not make any money out of my hobby. I cannot justify spending a fortune on a dress form for a darn picture I take now and then.
To add to this sorrow, I really wanted a bust form, not a dress form. Just the breast only to display bras. Who sells them? And can I pin the form? And is it a nice color?
Pictured here is one of the Maya Bra experiments. If you missed the article find it here.
Well, yes, I can! Claudia is MY bust form. With all the bullets checked. Cheap, pinnable, just the tities, nice skin color fabric and many others that I’m probably missing now because of the excitement. I can now display bras! Oh-hoo!
She is just beautiful and good looking. Really, really happy to have her in my arsenal. But above all, I am really content, because … because I made Claudia. She is my handmade bust form!

I love it! I hope you publish how to do it. It’s not in my budget either
I would be so happy to hear how to do this bust body form. Please share the details. Thank you for your inspiration.
Really beautiful. Interested on the bust tutorial.
You are super clever! I would happily pay for a pattern to make one in my size, as a free standing item like you made or as a “pullover” for a regular dressform.
Wow great! I want to learn this! Could you please make a payed course?
Claudia is beautiful! I would really like to know how you made her. Thanks for sharing this.
I would love to get the pattern for this as I’m quite busty and have trouble finding a bust form for my size. Keep up the good work 👍
Claudia, this is so creative and beautiful. I hope you’re planning on selling plans (maybe a pdf) of your “how to” … I would love to make one of these too.
Thank you for this. I would love a pattern for this. I to have a dress form, but she is not the right size in all of the right places. Her name is Mable. She also is not pinnable, either. I was given her second hand and her cover was old, dirty, and starting to fall apart. Her cup size is a DD she can be adjusted from 28 to 40 inches at the underbust and her waist is too small for me as I am old and fat. My underbust is 38 inches but my cup is an H my waist is 53 and my hips are 57. I do use her to show other peoples bra and clothes that I have made. YES I use your bra pattern a lot. Thank you again Lori Strout
This is a fabulous bust form, nicely done!
Wow! Claudia is beautiful, how wonderful that you made her! I can’t wait to see all your creations, after all, you are my favorite designer, the Maya is still my favorite bra ever.
Mine too. I even used The largest cup with a smaller band and Made MY Daughter-in-law a size 38M yes you read that right.
Superb. Looking forward to seeing your beautiful bras. Thank you.
Claudia is beautiful! Fantastic work.
