What People Are Saying
"The ability to sketch on a figure that is true to your physique is an important part of the sewing process that has been missing until now! MyBodyModel allows you to get creative and plan a wearable wardrobe that is perfect for your body. This will help us all to be more accepting of ourselves and see that it is the clothes that should fit our bodies, not the other way around."
"I’m so excited for this! I now can plan projects and get a better look at proportions and how styles will look on MY figure! I think MyBodyModel custom croquis will be helpful to makers because it gives us all a realistic look at what our project will be."
“I became a convert to this way of planning out my makes a couple months ago. It has been fantastic for visualizing the garments on my body!! I think everyone should have one of these and not just designer croquis that look nothing like their real body.”
"I have a bit of a confession to make. Despite going to design school and having taken lots of art classes, I am not confident in my sketching skills. Especially fashion sketching. The great thing about My Body Model is that you can create a croquis that actually looks like your body. So, when you sketch using this croquis, you get a much more accurate idea of what the design would look like on your unique proportions. I’m hoping to make sketching part of my process because I know that with practice, I will develop my sketching skills and become better at it. And developing that skill will give me another way to express and explore my creative ideas. Another way to take the designs in my head and make them tangible. "

“I LOVE IT! Once I get started on drawing, its like I can't stop. It fuels my creativeness to another level. Lets me explore my ideas on paper and just gets me thinking on what I want to sew, how I can style it, and changes I can make to reflect me and my personality."
“I loved my custom croquis from MyBodyModel! It actually looked like my overall silhouette and was super simple to use. The custom templates will be a great resource for any maker looking to visualize their designs on paper before turning them into reality. Whether cosplayers are looking to make armor, fabric-based designs, or both, being able to sketch out the design and figure out the proportions of their designs in the research phase will be a huge time-saver!"
“There are a lot of patterns that come in plus sizes but are never shown on plus size bodies. Sometimes it can be quite hard to determine whether or not you would like a pattern until you have made it and got it on. I was really excited to be able to see an outfit on myself ahead of the make and be able to give some thought to potential alterations before the garment is even cut out!"
“Our bodies come in all sorts of beautiful shapes and sizes so our croquis should too!"
"Will this shape sweater look good on me? Should I go for a v neck or a crew neck? Long sleeves or short? Sketch it over your body double and know exactly how to tweak the pattern.”
“I think my custom croquis is fabulous! It looks just like me! I’m very curvy so finding a croquis that looked like me was hard to come by. MyBodyModel solved that problem and I now look forward to project planning my upcoming makes."
“I think my custom croquis turned about pretty spot-on! I definitely recognize my shape immediately in the rendering - it feels so familiar!”
“My custom croquis makes it easy to see how certain garments will look on my body. It also helps confirm why I avoid certain styles. No gathered waists! I usually visualize garments in my head and being able to put my ideas down on paper on a custom croquis will make my garment planning closer to becoming a reality.”
“I love my croquis from MyBodyModel! They look more me than any croquis out there and that means that I can do some sketching and envision how a pattern would really look on my body type before I make a muslin.”
"Makers have a diverse range of bodies and it's wonderful to finally have a design tool to help reflect that!"
