Dritz(R) My Double Deluxe Dressform (20406)- Medium Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Initially I thought the base of the stand was constructed oddly, but it's surprisingly secure. I don't have many worries about the form tipping, which is the main concern I've sent mentioned with other dress forms. Another good point is that unlike most dress forms which have one adjustment knob for each measurement (hips, waist, bust)there are four ajustments points for each: front, each side and back. This would allow truer measurement - if you are more full in the rear for instance.
Unforunately, I was dissapointed with the overall construction of this dress form:
- The molded plastic form itself had a slightly mishapen shoulder, only one side. It's minor, and shouldn't affect fitting (I hope).
- Unfortunately, the mechanisms used to adjust the form are ALL plastic, from the adjusting wheel to the bolts. They're kind of a cheap plastic. I don't expect that I will be making many adjustments, after I adjust the form to my size, but I don't expect they will hold up long to repetitive use. If you construct garments for other people, and need to adjust the form frequently to accomodate different sizes, you'll be very disapointed. Even for me, I don't expect them to last long, and I already have plans to 'modify' by replacing these parts with something more durable.
- The adujusting knob at the top, meant to adjust the neck is very clunky, and like the other adjustment parts, is entirely of cheap plastic.
Overall, I needed a dress form, and now I have one. It's overall better than some of the newer models in this price range, but like the others, the form is constructed rather cheaply. This won't stand up to regular use as made. I'd have given the dress form glowing reviews had the manufacturer spent an extra dollar or two and used aluminum parts instead of plastic.

Dritz(R) My Double Dressform (Small #20100) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all, this product is sold directly from JoAnns fabrics. Yet on amazon it is at least $100 cheaper then in the store. Strange isnt it? But I am so thrilled to have this. I no longer have to try to put on the garment I am making to see how it looks and make adjustments. I can dress this maniquin, try different looks, and pin or mark alterations so easily. This would also help one who is learning to sew to understand porportions when making a garment.
This is great for just tossing around ideas when one has the fabric but not yet decided on a style. The item comes with a very small bust. I have put a bra on it so that I can be sure the final garment is accurate to my body. It is easy to set up, move and adjust. Spoil yourself and get it.

Tailor's Ham Review

(More customer reviews)Product arrived exactly as pictured. I'm sure it will work well. However, I was surprised at the size. It is a lot smaller than the ones they made years ago. This one measures roughly 8"x5"x4".

Singer DF151 Adjustable Dress Form, Red, Medium Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used my dress form for 4 pieces of clothing now. It works really well. It really takes the guess work out of sewing if you aren't into using patterns all the time (it works really well for pattern use too)!
My only complaint is that although the size is adjustable, the shape is not. Not all women are hourglasses or curvy in all the same areas and I think that this would better accommodate all shapes if the actual waistline was adjustable.
Overall, I am really glad I bought this, as I am an avid clothing maker.

An ideal sewing companion, this fully adjustable dress form allows for pattern adjustments before cutting, better fittings and alterations, and an opportunity to creatively work with fabrics and see how they will drape and hang on the body. Twelve dials make it easy to change the dimensions of the body, including settings at the neck for smooth collars and necklines. The height also adjusts, and a hem gauge comes included to mark the hemline for skirts and dresses. In addition, the unit's fabric cover makes it possible to pin items onto the form. Its size range measures 40 to 46 inches at the bust, 30 to 37 inches at the waist, and 40 to 47 inches at the hip. The form requires basic assembly, but no tools are required. An instruction book comes included. Overall, the dress form measures 14 by 9-1/4 by 60 inches and fits sizes 16 to 22-1/2.
