As to finding your own Miss Bedelia, you might try eBay or Craigslist, or even etsy, where odd things occasionally turn up. You might have to be patient, but I'll bet one will turn up. Miss Bedelia is a "My Double" dress form, but that's not very helpful, since Dritz is still making forms under that name -- but the modern ones are very different. I'm thinking that you might do best searching under "vintage metal dress form" or something like that. Funny, Paula!

What a wonderfully beautiful dress form! How funny your husband is. Sounds like my husband! lol. I was wondering what kind of form that is and where I might be able to find one? I've been looking for something unique yet practical like this to help me with my sewing! Let me know. Thanks sweetie! And congrats on your new friend. lol HI there!

I think I'd want it in my home even if I didn't sew . . . you've hit on something else I love about it -- apart from the cool mechanics, it really does look like something someone would sketch if it didn't exist!

The skirt is Vogue 1088 (fantastic!) and the bodice is Burda 7658 (it's similar to the bodice in 1088, but has a full back). And I love it, too! I should be able to post the review by Friday.

At first I thought it was an artist interpretation of a fitting model. It's beautiful, very Steampunk style too. How lucky you are. Wow. Actually I have never seen anything like that!
