If you can't get a Professional Dress form...
... buy a Dritz. I have been sewing for over 20 years and have studied at FIDM, so I know a little about this stuff. Ideally, I would love to have a Professional Dress form that I could pin into and manipulate, but for the most part, I am a home sewer. I make historic costumes for myself and my family, but this is the first real Dress Form that I have bought for my size and I am very happy with it. I went for the full figure model because I am a size 24 top with 28 bottom. This has the largest measurements I could get and it fits my clothes, so I am very pleased with it. Being an adjustable form will allow me to use it, even if I get the gumption to lose the weight I need to. Great price for a good product.
