Try the duck tape dress form first. i love the color you chose and the fit is great...good work.

There are a few in that Tracey Ullman book that I find pretty interesting. I have one of my boyfriend wearing the sweater I made for Son of SnB, and he's dwarfed by it!

What I really love is your WIP--such a delicious shade! I can see how ethereal it'll be ;-). The length of the sweater does look different on you and the model, yet both effects are just lovely.

Though, a dress form may not really help with sleeve length. Trust me on this one. :) Yes, though you could make one out of duct tape. Though, a dress form may not really help with sleeve length.

I'm pretty average in size so I do mostly use myself as a dummy! <br/>It is interesting to see how a design turns out in relation to your original sketch/idea for it...sometimes better and sometimes doesn't meet your expectations! I know what you mean about second guessing yourself too (part of why it's frustrating to not be able to share with others and get feed back on what is working or not)I'm finishing up something I've been working on and I must have re-done the sleeve edgings at least 3 or 4 times....think I've cracked it now!<br/>Nice to see your design on you...I love that colour!
