BHD BEAUTY Blue 13 Dials Female Fabric Adjustable Mannequin Dress Form for Sewing, Mannequin Body Torso with Tri-Pod Stand, Up to 70" Shoulder Height (Medium)

I have wanted a dress form for over 30 years. I finally convinced my husband to buy me this for Christmas. I was able to adjust it almost perfectly to my measurements. I could use a little extra padding for the bus line, but otherwise the shoulders, back, waist and hips are pretty close to perfect. It’s lightweight and a little wiggly, but otherwise reasonably sturdy if you’re careful. The body of it lifts off the stand very easily. The hem measuring piece was a nuisance, so I took it off and threw it away. The important part is that I could get the measurements to match my body because that’s why you have a dress form.

I can't be mad. This dress form was insanely easy to assemble and is very light weight. It has a ton of knobs for adjusting, including torso lengthening. That being said the body material is pretty thin, so you're going to have some issues pinning unless you go in at an angle. The base is also all plastic, so be careful you don't damage them because it will not stand with only three legs. The knobs feel very sturdy and they lock in. You have to pinch the button to make them turn. I down graded maneuverability because the rod for the base does not snap into the body. So if you want to move it, you have to take it apart or try and balance it on the pole as you lift. I was able to grab this on sale, and I am content with the price I paid for the quality of the item.

Looks great.

Good delivery time and ok price (a bit on the over-priced side). It was easy to assemble and other reviews note the feet aren’t enough to brace the frame but I don’t find this to be an issue. It can be a little wobbly but that is from it’s top heavy and bulky structure sitting on a small pole (unavoidable in my opinion). Again, not too much of a defect. The adjustments are sticky and tricky to adjust accordingly. This makes it difficult to get measurements spot on...one of the primary reasons I upgraded to this model opposed to just getting a standard frame. I’m finding the biggest flaw is the body itself. It’s made of a semi padded, thick felt and is very difficult to slide garments on and off. My projects get “hung up” on the felt fabric and I have to spend an annoying amount of time re-positioning it to sit on the mannequin correctly to get a proper fitting. I’m trying to figure a way to smooth it out somehow....any suggestions? Bottom line is that it works well enough. It takes some getting used to and manipulating, but it works fine(not great, but good enough for what I need). I don’t LOVE it, but don’t regret buying it either.

perfect for any seamstress, easy to asemble.

This is a really nice dress form! And what fun colors for all us sewists who are into color! I still need to add padding to reach my plus size dimensions but this dial out form came very close!! Sturdy base too and I appreciate the hem guide and height adjustment because I’m 6’ tall.

excellent quality, super delivery

It looked like it'd be so easy to put together and to make the adjustments. However, it isn't. It's very difficult to put together. The height bar to be exact. Once in place adjusting is practically not an option. The body dials are slightly off by measurments but I was able to just measure myself and adjust to match. The form itself is beautiful. The fabric texture is nice and the color looks great. It does feel very strong while also very wobbly at the same time (the form, not the stand, the stand is honestly too strong) It's very easy to pick up and move around too. I just think adjusting te shape is gonna take extra tools and because of that I don't think I'd spend the money on it.
