Not for tight-fitting clothes
By Diana Mitova
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.

Good For Beginners
By javajunki
I'm a complete and total novice to sewing so didn't want to spend much money but at the same time, really wanted something to help me beter visualize the patterns and create items that fit. At least for me, this dress form fits almost perfectly - literally every measurement is "spot on"...makes this very easy to use. Perhaps is not the most sturdy unit but being new, I have little to compare it with - dials are simple to use, settings all adjust easily. Very affordable, entry level dress form - great starter unit for beginners such as myself.

Very nice, easy to move, lightweight, holds clothes well!
By Shopaholic
I don't know why so many people are complaining. I got this item and find that it works for its purpose. Its lightweight and easy to move around. The setting make it easy to adjust to my measurements. I also use it with a black turtle neck over it, to take pics of my garments for ebay use. Its well worth the money and I'm not a novice at sewing, been doing it for 25 years. Its a good deal. I also add pads to the bust in order to adjust to my specific bust line. I read that a few women have complained about the bust. This is not a custom dress form ladies. Put your own bra on it, and then stuff it so it matches your chest size and look. Simple solutions!
