Review on πŸ‘— Dritz Sew You Adjustable Dress Form in Small Size with Opal Green Finish: Enhance Your Sewing Experience! by Michelle Langley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good but needs adjustment for busty girls

I have an extreme hourglass figure so I sew a lot of the clothes myself as I have trouble finding ready-to-wear clothes to match. I needed a dress form to test out the muslin and given my unique measurements (42/29/40) the adjustable dress form seems like the best choice. It was good but needs a lot of tweaking if you're busty like me. My total bust is 42 inches and underbust is 34 inches. I wear a 34G bra. The dress form is B cup at best. As a result, you cannot increase your bust size in this form without increasing your band size. My advice if you have unusual sizes like mine, with large breasts is, adjust the breast in this shape to match your band size and then enlarge the breast to get your total breast size. I slipped one of my old bras over mine and stuffed it with pantyhose until I got the breast size I wanted. This gives me a more accurate breast shape than standard sizes. I've attached photos showing the form without the lining and the form after it's filled out. Also, I like this shape. This also allows you to adjust the length of the torso, which isn't a problem for me (I'm very petite), but I know this also applies to other women who have trouble adjusting the waist of dresses to their natural shape Waist not unintentionally. Empire waist. I have narrow shoulders and this form has no adjustment for it, but this is no problem. As others have said, some dials can be difficult to turn, but after a few turns everything else ran smoothly. It's a bit flimsy so you should probably avoid using heavy fabrics with it, but if you use cotton or other standard clothing fabrics you'll be fine. I think this is a good basic product for all other girls who like to make their own clothes. You may still need to make some adjustments to get the exact body shape, but this is to be expected with any dress form. Good value for money!

Easy to set up, and I'm not mechanically inclined
