Without sleeves

Yes, I've put sleeves into a sleeveless dress before.
For this, I used chiffon, and also for another dress I used black lace fabric.
There's various ways of doing this, depending on the armholes on your sleeveless dress.
Are you an experienced dressmaker, Vivienne?

Dressforms for unusual shapes

I had the same problem. I bought an adjustable dress form that was close in most measurements then I added foam to fill out the rest. The dress form looks a bit silly but it has been very effective.

Dressforms for unusual shapes

I made one with duct tape when I first started sewing which was basic but did the job. Put a t-shirt on, get a friend to wrap you in lots and lots of duct tape until it becomes solid, then cut the t-shirt up the back, stuff it with stuffing and then tape the opening closed!

I wish I'd made a tutorial at the time but I recently discovered amazing purple duct tape at Hobby Craft so maybe I'll make a new one with that. Ruler

Dressforms for unusual shapes

You can buy a conventional dressform that fits the smallest part of you and pad the other areas to fit your measurments. Or make your own using an old t-shirt, duct tape and expandable foam.
