The new and innovative Dolly Boards, designed by a costume designer for costume designers. You will wonder how on earth you managed without one!
The Dolly Board Ladies Size 6 -12
*Please note there is an additional cost of £6.00 on top of the standard postage cost. This is due to the product size. The Dolly Boards are sent directly from the manufacturer in the UK and have an estimated delivery time of 3-5 working days. If you ordered rhinestones/ other Crystal Parade products, they will be sent separately.
The Dolly Boards are an amazing tool for anyone that is wanting to decorate a stretch costume, including lycra, spandex, scuba, stretch velvet, if your fabric is 2 way or 4 way this is the ideal tool for you. The board enables the user to place their crystals, rhinestones, pearls and embellishments in a precise way without the hassle of them falling onto the floor or moving. The Dolly Boards work well with many different glues including E6000 glue. With the Dolly Board you will be able to achieve more intricate designs when a leotard is stretched over the the board. Fabric paint such as Jacquard won't crack on the human body as it was applied to a stretched leotard in the first place.
Dolly Boards are designed to fit a stretch leotard, and stretch Lycra, (not the human body, as our bodies don’t stretch like Lycra does.) Board sizes are a guide, designed to work with different body sizes and ages – if the leotard you are working on is on the small end of the size guide, it can be stretched over the board because a good Lycra should stretch 5x its natural form without tearing. If you are working with a leotard on the larger end of the size guide, quilting pegs can be used to tighten the fabric on the sides, so you get a smooth flat surface for blinging.
These boards can take heat up to 125° Celsius, but you must avoid steam if ironing. They are classed as formaldehyde free.
The Dolly Board has a beautiful smooth finish and is lightweight with a handy carry handle (making it portable).
Another amazing thing the Dolly Board helps with is attaching a non stretch skirt to a stretch leotard. Simply stretch the waist area across the hips of the board (for maximum stretch) and attach the non stretch skirt….. (no more snapped stitches when the person trys on their new costume!)
And lastly, sewing appliques on is made so much easier because your needle hits the wood and not a mannequin or a cushion.
Perfect, and easy to use, soon you will wonder how you ever managed without your Dolly Board!
Please note that the Dolly Board has had a slight design tweak on the handle, it is now solid with no hole as we were experiencing broken handles during transit.
