I'm not entirely sure which to buy. The 6-8 is closest to my bust size but my waist/hip size are larger by a few inches. So which would be better?

I would go with the 6-8 and then add padding if you need to increase the size. Like I said in my review, the waist is closer to 27" than to the listed 26" but if it had been too small I would've made a duct tape dummy (google it for instructions) and then taped it on top of the form to make it conform to my measurements. Better too small than too big-- it's not like you can shave down the form to make it smaller.

You could pad the waist and hips and possibly make those pads removable. This dress form is more of a display and light working dummy. For actual tailoring you should buy an adjustable one for a perfect fit every time.

I'd would think not. I was a 14/16 when I got them and it was a tight fit and I've pretty evenly distributed so I don't carry it all in my hips and thighs. You might try Zaggoras they're a lot more expensive but they have a size that should fit you and maybe you could wear them until you get down to the Bally size. There might be other brands too but they're what got me thinking about finding a cheaper version. I'd just get one of a more expensive version and wash it after every use.

I wear an 8 and the Small is perfect. I see others suggest Medium! You may just have to try one.

I bought the large and it's perfect for me. I'm 5' 4 1/2" 36 chest 38 hips. I weigh 150 lbs. you could prob squeeze into a med since you weigh less but the length from crotch to shoulders might be uncomfortable. I'd probably go with the large if I were you. The large fits me snugly... It's a bit of a task getting into it but once I have it on it feels good.

Either would probably work. I'm 6'0", 205 lbs, 36 waist and I wear a large. The XL felt like a diaper on me. The sizing guide is very accurate. Tighter is better IMHO. I wore 3 pair on RAGBRAI for 6 days and was never uncomfortable.

I wear an 8W. My Yogini fit perfectly. I'm only guessing but I'd go with the 7. Good luck!

I would get the Medium for sure. I got the large and it isn't tight enough. I have same size waist. I am gonna have to put more holes in my belt. Also the belt is really stiff might bruise your hip bones. Just roll the belt and flex it to break it in. That will help a lot. I hope I helped sorry about the late response.

I would definitely go with medium. These are very tight. I was barely in the large range and there would be no way to get into the smaller ones for me.

Since it looks like you might be in between sizes I would probably go for the medium. They are meant to be tight but at the same time you want to be comfortable too. They just may be a bit longer on you.

I think the small would fit you best. I bought the medium when I was heavier than I am now (I was between the 2 sizes so I went with the medium) After losing weight, I am close to your size: 28" waist, 35" hip. The medium is huge on me. I've had to take it in in 4 places (luckily I sew), but the tucks have made it bulky. I agree with the others who posted, it IS a great back belt, I can do almost everything I did before my injury when I wear it. And BTW - they all fit best when standing and get snug when you sit down, that's the trade-off for good support. Good luck!

I found that my height left me between sizes (a2-a3) as well. Frankly, both work, but if in doubt I would go with the larger size to prevent any chance of restricted movement, though you would also have more, and looser material to both choke and be choked with.

They run slightly large and slightly stretchy, so you should probably go with the size 6.

For sure go with the 78 to 108, like you said more support, as when you stretch out the shorter one get a bit flexable.....Hope that helps.

i am 5'6 and 127 pounds I wear size 4/6 and bust 34 D, my Tyr is 34 and fits me very well.maybe you need also a 34

Here is the info from the Singer website: Bust: 33 - 41 inches / 84 - 104 centimeters Waist: 25 - 33 inches / 64 - 84 centimeters Hips: 36 - 44 inches / 91 - 112 centimeters Neck / Back: 15+ inches / 38+ centimeters. I would say that is pretty accurate if you are fairly proportional. I have a hard time adjusting it for my size 8 hips and size 12 jacket. It "pops" out of adjustment.

Hi Carol, I would get the 6-8. My son is 8 now and an average size. I bought this when he was six and I purchased the 6-8 and he has worn it a couple of years, Halloween, career day (he wants to be an astronaut), etc. It is the cutest and he gets so many compliments on it. He won't be able to wear it this year, he's finally out growing it.

If your waist size is less then 32 I would go with a small. For a larger waist I would go with a medium stout.
