I have longed for a dress form for years but found them too expensive. I purchased this one because it was so reasonably priced and because I had a formal gown to make for a big event. Everything was/worked as advertised. I could easily pin to it and adjust it. However, this was a form fitting gown (and I am losing weight) so I bought the small, adjusted it out as far as I could and then put a slip type "Flexee" that was my current size over it and stuffed the Flexee with polyester stuffing to my exact measurements. This smoothed out the gaps created when you adjust it and I can still use it when I get down to my goal weight. You could use a leotard as well I would think. Anyway, I love it, it came on time, easy to put together and made the whole process of putting a difficult dress together so much easier and it fit like a custom made dress should once it was done.

I am giving this 3 stars due to my first reaction to the item when it came and some frustrations at setting it up, and so that you might manage any frustrations that you might have and give her a chance before you decide that you don't like her. She has been here with me for a couple of days, and it's a five star item for its usefulness and price to me today. When I first took her out of the box, I was expecting her to be flimsy as I had read the reviews before purchasing the item. She wasn't so bad. The instructions are poor so it's a good thing she is easily put together. Before you put the 4 stabilizing legs on, pull off the bottom and put on the hem guide or you will have to take her apart and do it later. I put her together and put her in my sewing room. She looked very tiny and I thought I was unhappy with her. I thought I might return her.I took a breath and went in to adjust her to roughly my size. At first, I got very frustrated as she didn't seem to really adjust to the sizes stated. There are no good instructions for adjusting her included. Mostly, it is easy to figure out, except the neck adjustment. So, here is my experience: Start at the neck. push down and turn the dial to the right - start with at least a couple of 'notches', then to the bust, adjust all 4 (don't try to get her perfect yet), adjust her to your measurement on all four dials (front, back and two sides). Move to the next four dials and key to your waist size, the next four and key to your hip size. Go back up and measure her bust, if the bust size is not equal to the measurement on the dials, adjust move the neck dial to the right or left (left smaller/right bigger). She has body length adjustments, but I didn't need them. There are a couple of sentences in the instructions on this adjustment.I have no idea what the numbers on the pole for height adjustment are supposed to be, but they do not relate to my height in inches or centimeters. At least there are demarkations to assist with height adjustment. Take her off the pole to do this or silliness ensues. With her off the pole, you can properly tighten the height into place. I just went shoulder to shoulder with her a few times, and I was done. If you can turn her all the way around on the pole, she isn't on the pole correctly. Just move her around a bit until she falls onto the little bar inside.My sewing room is carpeted and she stands pretty sturdily in there today. I am 5'9" and so is she. Awesome! I put my clothes on her and they fit her the same way they fit me. Awesome! Did I really just get a fully functional dress form for a little over $100? Oh my goodness, awesome! Today, she gets FIVE stars. I threw her box away-she is staying with me. I love this item now, after what really were some minor frustrations.

I like my Singer DF150 Adjustable Dress Form. The felt cover will be great for draping, since fabrics really cling to it and I am very impressed with the hem guide. It is somewhat difficult to adjust the height, but not impossible, and much easier if you take the body off the stand first. I bought this small dressform based on my three primary measurements (33-25-38), but I was disappointed to discover that her underbust at smallest is 28 1/2 inches, about 1 1/2 inches larger than mine, so dresses I've made to fit me will not zip up on her. Also, her shoulders are 15" wide, and neck 13 1/2" around, at the least. So much for using this form for fitting my truly small upper body. At least I can use her for hems, when I make dresses for some of my friends, and I can even adjust her to her larger settings to fit my fiancé's measurements (He wears a 40R jacket).
