I decided to order this dressform, so that I would no longer have to struggle with measurements and guesswork. Right now, I do not use patterns, and I envisioned draping fabric on the dress form, pinning and sizing everything up, like magic.
Well, I am still trying to figure all of this out. This dress form is handy, though I am not as pleased with it as I hoped I would be. It is very easy to put together, though I would be happier if it was heavier, sturdier-not so easy to tip or rock. I like that it spins on the stand. I thought the dials would be easier to use-they seem to want to pop back, spring-action, when the dials are turned up/out too high. Alas, I do not find that this model "models" my proportions exactly-you cannot expand butt, without also expanding the hips. I think the upper portion of the dressform will be more useful for fitting. Guess I will have to work with it, it has some limitations, but it also has some advantages that I have yet to explore.

Amazon seems to have combined the review of the medium and large at some point because I see the product is now labeled as LARGE and at least one other person clearly reviewed the medium. I would still make sure you check the measurements on this item carefully. I would say the medium I have could stretch to fit a 16 or 18 so just make sure it contracts and expands the way you need it too. If they don't give that info here you may want to check the manufacturers website.

My Original Review: "The medium I bought was to use as a form to create a Mardi Gras costume. When I ordered it I chose this model mostly because of the better reviews. People didn't seem as pleased with the smaller version. I also assumed that since I wore a medium, a medium would be a good size to choose. I wear a 10-12 in clothing size.

Now that I have it, I wish I would have gotten a small. The 30 inch waist is not small enough and while I could have easily added some padding to the small, there is no way to subtract from the medium. You may want to spend a little time looking at all the measurements on the small form vs. the medium and see which allows the most latitude in adjustment for your particular body style."

My fiance bought this dress form for her personal use.
She says that is a very versatile dress form since you can adjust almost everything on it.
The only downside is that this thing is very flimsy... It has plastic legs that most certainly will break if you accidentally step on them.
it also is very lightweight...so expect the thing to tip over while working on it.
Overall its a good idea that has A LOT of room for improving.
Instead of buying 3 wolf dress form (professional dress forms) you can buy one of this and it will do the work

I bought this form to help in making my wedding dress. The form it's self is great. The fabric covering the form really helps make the fabric your using cling. Which is helpful in pinning. I have been having a little bit of a hard time keeping her up at my height. But I fixed that by drilling a hole in the base and putting a cotter pin in. (if your a handy person doing this will help keep her up. I also have used her to put my costume dresses (for Halloween) on to clean them. She seemed to hold up to that. My only real complaint is I would have loved for her to rotate all the way around, or be on wheels.

I am quite happy with this form. Some complain it is lightweight. For the price I am not sure what they expected. These are $200 in stores. I had a similar one before and it is great to adjust patterns for sewing. With this I can make items that fit perfectly. I have no issues with them falling over. For the home sewer I think these are great.

I bought this dress form for my girlfriend, who was fed up with trying on her clothes as she sewed them to make sure they fit correctly. I decided to surprise her with this dress form. She loves it! She's cranking out dresses here and skirts there.
The adjustable fit is really nice, although shes a bit smaller in the chest than the lowest setting while her hips are at the 42' mark.
Other than that, I'd say I did pretty well.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my sister. No complaints about the shipping, it came well in time and in good condition. Only comment would be that the medium was larger than I was expecting. My sister and I are normally size mediums, but our measurments were too small for this dress form. But it seems to work well, and the adjustments work smoothly, so no real complaints. Just be careful about the inch measurements it provides before you buy.

The dress form is very adjustable and really makes sewing for yourself much easier. If I ever figure out to get it less wobbly I would love it.

I had a hard time deciding between the small and medium forms. Unfortunately my bust size matches the former but I went with the latter anyway. It adjust very easily. Set up took a minute... It's easy to drape on it. I am really excited for the project to come!

I bought this dress form for my 13 year old daughter - she loves it. It is priced well for the value as compared to other forms. Haven't run into any of the complaints I've read about yet.
