I purchased several of these for my Fashion Design students. They are all in middle school. Finally I will be able to teach them draping at a reasonable cost. I love how it comes with all the accessories my students need to get going. This is a great product for any young aspiring fashionista.

I bought this for my daughter's 8th birthday. She was thrilled, and likes to create new styles on the dress form (which she changes out every few days). This is a great product to encourage creativity. The dress form is fairly sturdy, and the set also comes with a book to draw your own sketches, and a nice pink bag to store all of the items so they won't be lost as easily. There is a pincushion for the straight pins, but because of the pins I would be careful about buying this product for younger kids or ones with little siblings around unless the parents are willing to oversee its use.

9 year old granddaughter dove right into this gift! She loved the fabric, the dress form - really got her creativity going. She received another version of this gift and wasn't at all disappointed. Great idea.
