Where are the numbers? But it's still a good product. Disclaimer: I sew semi professionally so I am not an average at home crafter making a skirt here and a bathrobe there. I am interested in how sturdy it is, and the ease of adjusting the size quickly without much headache.Ok Dritz what the actual hell, we need to have a talk. My last dummy had numbers on the dials and this one doesn't? As someone who makes costumes for people this is a major hindering of my ability to work. Now I have to get out the measuring tape everytime I need to change the size. A major pain in the ass. So 2 stars in the easy to use category. However if you are a home crafter or cosplayer who only uses your dummy for you, maybe adjusting it once in a while then disregard this lack of numbers being a major problem. It would be annoying yes but not a deal breaker.It's easy to put together anyone who says otherwise is just being ridiculous. And the best part is the super annoying hemming tool I always trip over can be removed and put back on as I need it or dont.Its light weight and with a bit of wrestling you can pull the feet off the stand and break it down enough to shove it into your car to take to a friend's house but it's not something I would recommend stuffing in a suitcase to take with you to a convention or on a flight.The stand is sturdy and has retention hardware to keep the dummy and stand from sliding down as you work on your project. Which for me, who works on heavy projects is a massive improvement over other stands.My last dummy of this brand lasted heavy almost daily abuse lasted over 5 years before one of the dials broke on me. And is a much better product than those bottom of the line Singer band dummys I have had before. So yes the dials are plastic and so is the body so don't go cranking the front bust dial all the way up to full without adjusting the others as you go.And lastly mine came and it was not blue like I was expecting. Not a deal breaker but a little bit of a shock when I opened the box. 4It's ok.. I'll be honest, I don't use it much but here's what I think..... it's simple to put together from the box, had no issues. It's not extremely sturdy but not horribly cheap either. You get what you pay for, a functional dress form. The dials are pretty easy to turn and I like the wide range of movement; front, back, hip, waist ect. I'd say if you fall within the posted measurements it shouldn't be difficult to come really close. What it's not good at is proportioning. If there's extra width in the hips or extra fluff around the tummy I'd suggest also buying the pieces to attach so you get a better fit, otherwise it's going to be close but not great. All in all I'm content with it until I can afford something better. 3Great for the price! I purchased this for my very first dress form. I needed something budget friendly that wouldn't take up a lot of room. This is great! It's perfect for the price. It was easy to put together and took less than 5 minutes to do so. It has a plastic floor base so it's a little wobbly and had the potential to be top heavy, which is why I gave it 4 stars. I sometimes travel to do custom work at theaters and this will easily become 2 parts for easier travel. 4Absolutely perfect dress form!! For anyone looking for exact measurements for the small sized dress form, they are as follows:Bust: 33" to 40"Waist: 26" to 33"Hips: 36" to 42"Back Waist Length: 15" to 17"Neck: 14" to 17"I'm providing this information because I'd googled around for it for nearly half an hour and couldn't find anything, then I called Amazon.com customer service to see if they could find this information for me, and they couldn't, in fact the first representative actually disconnected the call, but the second representative that I spoke with, Natalie, convinced me to go through with the purchase, she even upgraded my shipping to next day, and called me after it was delivered to follow up to make sure that it was what I wanted. Measurements are a crucial component when deciding what dress form to buy, and being new at sewing in general, I'd researched for months on which one to get, and the price on this seemed too good to be true, but believe me when I say that it is true!!!I'm 5 feet 9 inches tall, and it easily adjusted to my height. The adjusting wheels so far move very smoothly, and I'm absolutely thrilled with this purchase. The base is nice and sturdy, and it seems solidly built.So, if you're new to sewing or just don't want to invest tons of money on an adjustable dress form, I'd recommend this product. 5Easy to set up, and I'm not mechanically inclined I was worried because my measurements are on the largest end for this form, 46-39-46, but it worked out great. Definitely had to put a bra on her to get the dimensions right, I'm a 40DD and the form doesn't have much in the way of breasts. Very happy with my mini-me. I'll probably make her a cover at some point. The plastic bag that the torso came in makes a great dust cover. Thanks to all those who wrote reviews, really helped me to decide which one to get. 5Good, but needs adjustments for busty girls 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! 5Fits hip size 44/46 This fits my hip 44 and chest 39. The waist is off though. Flimsy construction. Not very sturdy when turning the knobs. I'm scared it might break. The knobs are not numbered and the front ones are s little hard to turn especially if you have long nails. It's pinnable but you can't push the pins through, they have to be pinned at an angle. Easy assembly. Overall? Ok buy for the price. Wish it was sturdier but ok for what I need it. I'll add some foam around the waist to fit my specific waist measurement. Will update review once I start using it should there be any unforeseen issues that arise. 4I really like this dress form I really like this dress form. I am by no means a great tailor, but I do like to make clothes for myself and I do want them to fit. Fitting on oneself while in the process of creating can be difficult and, sometimes, painful (straight pin, I'm looking at you!). This dress form suits my needs perfectly! I had read some other reviews about it being "wobbly" or unstable. I have not found this to be true. Just make sure that when you attach the stabilizing arms to the base you line them up correctly. I didn't at first and my dress form leaned and wobbled. Since I fixed my error, it now stands perfectly straight. There were also some mentions of it being difficult to adjust. Again, I didn't find this to be true. Just be sure to adjust all the dials evenly (don't just crank out the center chest dial without also adjusting the dials on the sides, for example). It takes a bit of time but the result is worth it. The only negative I have is that now that I have it dialed in to my measurements, I can see my shape clearly, and that ain't necessarily a good thing...but that's not the dress form's fault, hahaha! All in all, a great "first" dress form. 5Love her!!! I'm a professional seamstress, so I needed something very very adjustable that spins and pins. I used to work in a shop that had a Matilda from the turn of the century. She was a size 12, her height was adjustable but not her size, and you could pin to your heart's content and never worry that you would break her. Admittedly that Matilda had ugly fabric on her, but we used to have fun dressing her up with new slip covers. Ever since I left the shop I have been dreaming about buying a Matilda (or something similar), but they are very expensive and I just can't wait any longer. So I shopped around quite a bit and decided on this one. It's very nearly perfect. She spins, (I would argue that she does not pin), she's lightweight (Matilda was NOT), she's a lovey shade of emerald, and her feet do not scratch my wood floors.Pros:Very adjustable, cranked in she's roughly a size 2-4, cranked out she's close to an 18. Her height is also adjustable. Yesterday I dropped her all the way down, and beaded the bodice on a wedding gown while sitting comfortably in a chair. Then I cranked her all the way up and trimmed a tulle hem while sitting in the same chair.Lightweight, I can easily pick her up and set her on the table so I can work on a complicated hem without having to sit or lay on the floor, which is awesome because I have bad knees and do not get up off the floor quickly or gracefully.She was very affordable, enough so that I'm thinking about buying a large model too. The other ones I've been looking at would have cost me $400 each and I would have needed one in each size to cover my client base. Where would I put all that and how would I PAY for it?Expanding neck, which Matilda did not have at all.She spins and spins easily (which is critical for me as I can run hems through the sewing machine while the weight of the dress is held up and not falling off the sewing table).Cons:She's mostly plastic, which might not hold up long term especially with my workload (yesterday she had 3 different wedding gowns on her, today will be worse). I get that the torso has to be plastic, but I wish the feet and adjustment gears were metal.The skirt marker isn't long enough for wedding gowns and/or full skirts.She's rather flat chested (although I suppose it's easier to add than subtract).She's really isn't pin-able. I'm going to make a couple of padded sleeves to pull down over her, so the gaping holes don't offend my (larger than a size 2) brides and I can pin fabric to her. But how hard would it be to add some padding in the manufacturing process and charge me an extra $10-20 for that? Not too hard I bet.She has dials all over, I think she would be vastly improved if she had fewer dials that operated multiple openings with a readable dimension on the dial. So if I has a customer that measured 38, 25, 39, I could adjust one dial for each dimension and be done.I also wish that there was a way to adjust the height to a specific measurement. I can adjust the height yes, but I can't adjust it to exactly 5'-2". I have to guess at it, then measure and adjust, over and over until it's just so.I wish she had wheels, because I move her around all the time, and I have to be careful not to drag her because the torso pulls off the pole rather easily. I'm thinking about buying a scooter and fixing her base to it. But again, how hard would it be to add the wheels to the manufacturing process? Not too hard I bet. 5Shoulders do not collapse making it difficult or impossible to get an actual finished garment on the form. If all you are doing is pinning a pattern or even pieces of fabric together, or the garment is not fitted, this is a terrific form. So many dials make it possible to get a great fit -- however, a dress form isn't pliable like you are when you put on a dress and I find that putting an actual dress or top on the form to be an impossible thing to do. I've never bought a form before so I didn't know that in order to get a dress or top on, you either stress your garment terribly or it won't go on at all. If I had known, I would have shopped with that in mind. 3
