User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Love it
I am very pleased with this dress form. It’s very easy to use. I bought a small because I plan to put extra padding on it to more customize it and make it easier to use pins. It’s easy to adjust and seems very stable. (I had a form of another brand a few years ago and the legs kept coming off and even when they were on, the form would still fall over if I had heavy fabric on it). The only problem is that the little hemming gizmo doesn’t work very well. It won’t stay in place on the stand and keeps sliding down.
3 Stars Not for tight-fitting clothes
This dress form is very convenient. The multiple dials give you a lot of control in getting the right measurements, and the fabric-covered surface lets you pin materials to the form.
However, there is one major drawback. You can’t use the form to create tight-fitting tops or dresses, because the chest shape is not true to life! In real life, breast width transitions gradually from top to bottom, but at the bottom it cuts sharply in where the breast ends and the rib cage begins (under the cup). On this dress form though, the breasts thin out gradually on the underside as well, making the ribcage in that area disproportionately wide. With the waist and breast measurements set exactly to my own, it is *impossible* to even put my bra on the form!
It would be great for loose shirts and dresses, but keep in mind that the chest area is messed up.
3 Stars Decent product for the price
For the price, this dress form is doing it’s job. It is not very sturdy, as some other reviews had said, and I have had some trouble trying to keep it up as tall as I would like it. But otherwise, when you get it to the measurements you want, the body stays at those measurements, which makes draping and fitting easy.
5 Stars Great product!
Extremely easy to set up, then to simply dial up measurements. The worst part was taking my measurements – reality check!
