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.

Dritz(R) My Double Deluxe Dressform (20405) - Small Review

Dritz(R) My Double Deluxe Dressform (20405) - Small
Average Reviews:

I attended school for apparel design, so I know that this form does not compare to the profesional wolf forms or superior model forms that range from 300-1000$.
Basically, if you are like me and have a symmetrical form and are relatively built like a dress form and are not intending to do a strenuous amount of sewing for professional reasons (unless this is to bide your time in the start up phase of a business), then great! You can probably go with one of the cheaper models out there.
However, remember that this model has a wonderful natural. more realistic hip section and mid section and separated leg area which makes it available for getting the hip area of pants correct. It also has a longer support pole, to keep your garment off the ground, or if you are tall. It is steam-able, rotates 360, and pinable. Remember to use a bra on the form that you intend to wear with the garment you are constructing. This will really help especially with strapless ensembles.
If you have a hard to replicate form, such as enlarged midsection, uneven shoulders, etc, consider a My Twin Dress form which is created to your specific body shape.
Otherwise, the my double deluxe works well enough for me.

Female Pinnable Jersey Torso Mannequin Dress Form in White or Black Review

Female Pinnable Jersey Torso Mannequin Dress Form in White or Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The BLACK dress form arrived today in record time. Amazon.com's box was in perfect condition with some paper packing around the manufacturer's torn and punctured box. The dress form was just as expected in size and details. The pole, however, will not stand on the base. One end of the pole is dented slightly but may never have been the right size to fit over the base protrusion. The base has concentric circular scratches in it's paint (..."new"?). I haven't decided yet whether to keep or return the dress form. It would take some extra purchases and jerry-rigging to make the form stand up. It was advertised as a standing form but is currently only useable as a table top mannequin. Obviously, I'm disappointed with the base-stand connection.

Singer DF150 Adjustable Dress Form, Sizes 10-16, Red Review

Singer DF150 Adjustable Dress Form, Sizes 10-16, Red
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I like my Singer DF150 Adjustable Dress Form. The felt cover will be great for draping, since fabrics really cling to it and I am very impressed with the hem guide. It is somewhat difficult to adjust the height, but not impossible, and much easier if you take the body off the stand first. I bought this small dressform based on my three primary measurements (33-25-38), but I was disappointed to discover that her underbust at smallest is 28 1/2 inches, about 1 1/2 inches larger than mine, so dresses I've made to fit me will not zip up on her. Also, her shoulders are 15" wide, and neck 13 1/2" around, at the least. So much for using this form for fitting my truly small upper body. At least I can use her for hems, when I make dresses for some of my friends, and I can even adjust her to her larger settings to fit my fiancé's measurements (He wears a 40R jacket).

Singer's dress form may be just the sewing companion you need. This adjustable form allows for pattern adjustments, better fitting and alterations, and an opportunity to creativly work with your fabrics to see how they will drape and hang on the body. 12 dials allow for changes to the body including settings at the neck for smooth collars and necklines. Height is also adjustable and it includes a hem guage to mark the hemline for skirts and dresses. The DF150 has a red fabric cover to allow pins to be used onto the form. Fits sizes 10-16. The size range is 33" - 39" at the bust, 25" - 31.5" at the waist, and 34" - 40" at the hip.

Singer DF150_G Adjustable Dress Form, Gray, Small Review

Average Reviews:

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.
