Dritz My Double Deluxe Dress Form Small By The Each Review

Dritz My Double Deluxe Dress Form Small By The Each
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This item arrived on time and as described. I have had it for a few weeks now and am enjoying the new ease with which I can tailor store-bought as well as handmade items. Since it is impossible to create a form for everyone I will offer up some tips for using a dress form if an exact fit is really important: Purchase a bra that you already wear and like and a pair of those support-type girdle briefs. Have a friend measure you everywhere (a good sewing book should be helpful with where to measure) and pad the form as needed to match your exact shape. For pads I used nylons and stuffing from a pillow. This creates a true double of your form, and allows you more places to attach pins, since the fabric of the form is a bit difficult to attach pins to. Also, for altering hems or heavy items, you may want to make a few sand bags to place on the legs of the form.

Very basic but beautiful dress form is perfect for displaying dresses, suits, pants and pretty much all clothing. This dress form will also work for basic sewing. The actual torso is made of fiberglass and is covered with material and foam. This unit displays dresses and slacks With the added technique underneath the torso you can screw the stand to the side and display slacks or you can screw it on the middle for skirts.

Professional Dress Form Adjustable Size Mannequin - Small Review

Professional Dress Form Adjustable Size Mannequin - Small
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love this bodice. It's a tiny bit touchy when adjusting but you just have to do it in small increments. The thing I love about this particular bodice in comparison to some others is that I'm not exactly proportional, I tend to be smaller on top than on bottom. So the bodices that are in my bust and waist range are just a bit too small in the hip range. This dressform has a slightly wider range of adjustment in the hips than any other one I've seen and therefore I can actually make it my exact size. It's easy to set up and it does all the things I need it to. I'm very happy with it.

The dressform is somewhat fragile due to plastic parts so I will be gentle with it. Assembly was simple. Adjustments are easy. Overall, for the Amazon price, a good deal for an adjustable form that can be pinned.

Thank you,
The Dress form was great and my daughter really appreciates it. When we recieved it, the black plastic piece on the bottom was broken but we didn't take it back because my daughter was able to use it. I would have contacted you for the piece, but honestly, it's fine the way it is.

Dress Form System Review

(More customer reviews)
I have to agree with everybody. I have used the fabulous fit fitting system for several years for my sewing business. I have 3 dressforms, one from fabulous fit, and 2 from singer, and dritz. The fitting system works great on all 3. I can change my dress forms at will. I work on several sizes from 2 to 18 and there is no need for my clients to have more than one fitting. I highly recommend it. It will save you hours of fitting frustration.
Thanks Fabulous Fit!

Fabulous Fit dress form Fitting System for dress forms and sewing. iIt ncludes interchangeable life-like contoured pads and two body covers (with industry grain lines) that allow women who wear the same size, but are shaped differently, to customize each area of the bosom, waist, hips, butt, and thighs. It's amazing how you can make your dress form match every curve (read: aerobics in jackets!). You can duplicate any size and shape imaginable by repositioning the pads in every area.

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

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

This was purchased for a teenager who wishes to design clothing. She is absolutely delighted with product and stand. I, on the other hand, was extremely disappointed that I could not ship it directly to her -- the vendor would ship it to me (in the East) but not west of the Mississippi. So her most wished-for birthday gift was late.

I hate ironing but since I refuse to look like a slob, I must. So I want the best tools to speed the process and minimize my annoyance with it. This little piece of equipment accomplishes both. Using it means I don't have a crease in my sleeves; a crease is not only the hallmark of the unskilled presser, it will damage the fabric over time. This sleeve board works on shirts of all sizes even women's shirts which usually have narrower sleeves. It's an invaluable tool. Martha Stewart would be proud of me.

This is a really nifty idea, and it works really well for making pleats, but I can not get it to gather. Everytime I put it on the setting for Gather it makes a big knot in one spot, and that's it. The instructions are very small, and not clear in my opinion. There is really no where that I have found for instructions online either. So unless you already know how to use this, or have someone who can show you I think you may end up very frustrated (like me).
