Sew You Adjustable Dress Form M/L, Sizes US 12–18, Female Sewing Mannequin with Pinnable Body Torso, 12 Dials for Accurate Fitting & 360 Hem Guide

I have an extreme hourglass figure, so I make a lot of my own clothing since I have trouble finding manufactured clothes that fit properly. I have needed a dress form to test out muslins on, and given my unique measurements (42/29/40), an adjustable dress form seem to be the best bet. This one was good, but still needs considerable adjustments if you are busty like me. My overall bust measurement is 42 inches, but my underbust 34 inches. I wear a 34G bra. The dress form is a B cup at best. As a result, you cannot increase the bust size on this form without also increasing the underbust size. My advice, if you have weird measurements like mine with a large chest, is to adjust the bust on this form so that it equals your underbust measurement, and then pad out the breasts to get to your overall busy measurement. On mine, I put one of my older bras and stuffed it with pairs of pantyhose until I achieved the breast size I needed. This way, I have a more accurate bust on my form than the standard measurements. I have attached photos showing the unpadded form, and the form post-padding. Other than that, I like this form. It allows you to also adjust the torso length, which is not really an issue for me (I'm very short) but I know is concerning with other women who have issues getting waistlines on dresses to fit at their natural waist rather than inadvertently becoming an empire waist. I have small shoulders, and this form does not have adjustments for that, but that is not a deal breaker. As others have said, some of the dials may be hard to turn, but after a couple of turns, the rest of it went smoothly. It is a little bit flimsy, so you will probably want to avoid using heavy fabrics with it, but if you are using cottons or other standard dress fabrics, you should be fine. I think this is a good staple for any other gals who enjoy making their own clothing. You may still need to do some adjustments to get your exact body shape, but that is to be expected with any dress form. Good value!

Very nice, good quality for a beginner manakin. Knobs rotate easily.

If you want a heavy-duty dress form with infinite adjustment possibilities, this one's not for you. But if you plan to set it to your size and leave it there, and you plan to drape it with ordinary street clothes rather than heavy, 17th-century costumes, it's good value. The body is a lightweight plastic shell with a layer of pinnable padding on the outside, set atop a metal pole with plastic feet. It took only moments to set it up out of the box, and about 10 minutes to adjust it to my proportions. The rings controlling "vertical hold" (shout-out to fellow members of the analog club) do require a firm grip to keep the thing from sliding down, but the gears that adjust the torso's shape are plenty firm, and they stay put. Note that they're easier to adjust if you follow the directions and adjust all of the gears in small increments. Trying to expand, say, the bust (how the mighty have fallen) by turning only one of the multiple wheels will bind the other wheels, making a complete and efficient adjustment difficult. In short, I find the quality appropriate for the price point, as long as it holds up for at least a couple of years.

My first time buying a dressform. It took me a while to figure out if I needed one lol. But I’m glad I did. I read the comments and was a little nervous about adjusting her. It does take a while. I spent about an hour on that part, but she is wonderful. I can use pins on her, she is a lovely green color (my favorite color I might be biased hehe). I would like to add these considerations: she definitely for those with more traditional measurements. Also her sizing is not as broad as one would think. I’m a 8/10 and I barely made the cut as far as adjusting goes. I’m pretty curvy and wear an d cup. Assembly wasn’t too hard. She is a little on the flimsy side so be careful adjusting. I haven’t started any projects on her yet, and I don’t think she will last forever but imma enjoy my dressform while she lasts. Satisfied :)

I love it, it's exactly like the picture

Fácil de usar, las medidas son exactas y buena calidad

Très bien fait et quand même assez robuste. J’ai bien aimé le fait qu’il soit à 4 pattes au lieu de 3. Il est plus stable. Quand même facile à ajuster à la bonne taille. Seul point négatif: instructions seulement en anglais et en espagnol.

Un buona qualità

My mom was satisfied so I guess there's nothing more to say (She uses this for her hobby).
