Is this form equivalent to true sizes of size 5-6 pants and med blouse? For sewing purposes

I just got the form not long ago, and had not started sewing yet. However, from the look of it, it seems small, for small size blouses and size 2-4 pants.

It seems to be true to size but I have not measured it or used it for that purpose.

Yes, I would say so. Pants are a little difficult, since this form has no legs, but it does have a post that can be mounted to one side, so I have been able to use it for pants (I'm also a size 6 and wear medium tops).

I bought mine to use as a "frownies" substitute, but I've made a duct tape dress form before, so I'll make a guess.....I'm fairly certain one roll would be sufficient for any dress form smaller than plus size. Even a plus size form might be covered with one roll (there is a lot of tape there). My advice would be to start with one roll and work from the top down; if it's not enough, then cut the "model" out, order another roll, and add more tape to the bottom. Of course, if your model is only available for one session, or you're in a time crunch, you might want to order 2 rolls just in case. Hope this helps.

It would be best to contact the seller . I ordered mine based on my blouse size and was way off. I returned it and the sales lady was very helpful in getting me into the proper size. They actually sent me two jackets of different sizes to allow me to choose the best fit. I originally ordered a size 20 and wound up with a size 14. Although I had to pay for the return, they were prompt in crediting my account. I love the jacket.

It would be too short, I believe. While that application would be lost, the value of the dressform as a "canvas" for fashion design ideas remains.

Yes, they are true to size. I wear size 6M. They were not too short, and didn't need to be trimmed.

I have the small dress form and it easily adjusted to 38 inches in the chest. The form has adjustment wheels to allow it to expand the chest in the front, sides and back. It expands the entire chest area so if you have a small bandwidth but larger cup size, you might need to put a bra on the form and stuff it to get the sizing right, as some others have suggested.

Yes, I used this to make dresses for my daughter who is larger than I am. I pinned some fleece fabric to it and shaped it to match her figure. You can use any thick fabric or even batting. I just had the fleece on hand. In her case, I was able to make the bust line smaller, so that the under-bust would be her size. Then I got a bra in her size, put it on the form and filled it to fit her. It worked great. Since you can put pins in the form, it is easy to pad it.

Robert, I purchased a pair of these pants with a 30" inseam. The sizing was accurate, and both the waist size and the inseam matched the dimensions of my other pants of the same stated size. The material is lightweight, and would require a talented seamstress to alter sucessfully.Hope this is helpful. Lynn

There was an ordering guide and I used that. Sorry I don't remember all the size ranges. When I followed the guide, it fit fine.

Looks like you are considering a "fabulous fit" (company name) form. They are quite good and also quite expensive. When shopping for a commercial form make sure it has collapsible shoulders so you can get the garment on and off the form. (If you don't know what "collapsible shoulders" means, just look it up when researching on the net and you'll figure it out. You an also make your own form (Threads magazine has published several articles on how) or your can buy a form which is based on a casting of your body (google "my twin" for sources)

No, it is not. But this is a really nice form though. But the sizing 6/8 is more in the 8 size than it is 6.

Yes, they are true to size. I had to do no adjusting or cutting to get the proper fit.

Are you familiar with a website called patternreview dot com? There are reviews for the different dressforms and people you can ask. I'm not sure which size you need but I bet someone on patternreview will know.

When I was researching before purchase, I remember one commenter mentioning that this particular form was better for display, rather than sewing, pinning, etc. That may be the case for the professional seamstress. I've pinned and done light repair on some vintage items and have no complaints. It is attractive and easy to work with. Good luck!
