If you have made widening adjustments to the model, attach a strip of widening adjustments to the model, attach a strip of wide tape or ribbon to fill in the open areas.

For easy positioning, apply basting tape along the lengthwise edges of the tape.

A pencil or stitching line can be added to centre of the tape to identify reference points such as centre front, centre back and side seams.

For figure characteristics that may require extra padding, for example, curved back, high hip protruding abdomen, fill in the area with polyester batting held in place with a covering of thin fabric. The covering may be applied to the dressform using basting tape or pins.

This technique is also useful if you need to achieve a dimension that is beyond the maximum size of the dressform.
