Sewers: dress forms. Which one?

I'm thinking about asking Santa for a dress form for Christmas. I've been on PatternReview.com and just can't really decided which one I should get.  What I don't want is one that doesn't do the job. I'd like to get one that I will have for a long time.  Fabulous Fit was one that I had looked at, but the price was sky-high and couldn't justify it at the time. It looks like they've come down a bit.

Does any one have any recommendations?

TIA!

Re: Sewers: dress forms. Which one?

  • I had considered getting the 'Uniquely You'  dress form.  I like that it is soft and you can stick pins in it, and that you can use it for different people, just by changing/altering covers.

    I do like the idea of the Fabulous Fit, but I don't remember how much they cost....just that they were more than I was thinking of at the time.

    My problem with most dress forms is that  they don't adjust where I need it most.  I have a fairly small ribcage and large breasts, and most of the forms don't allow for that, or for large breasts in general.

    I ended up not getting one, but it is something that I am going to revisit after we sell this house and move.   I am looking forward to seeing the responses to this post.

  • Yes  I've been .this.close. to making one of those. Just haven't done it. I'd actually want something a bit more permanent now.

     That's what I have, too.  I am plus size right now, so I didn't want a permanent version of me.  You would think a duct tape version of myself would encourage me to lose weight LOL.

    Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
