I have a Uniquely You dress dummy, and she doesn't compress well at all -- this may be due to the fact that I'm on the small end of the size dress dummy they suggest I buy. I have a great deal of trouble zipping up the sloper that compresses her into my modern shape - I needed my husband to help hold the sloper together while I zipped, and he didn't think we could do it! My corsets will not fit on top of her -- she doesn't have enough squish left.
it's always a wrestling match. I have one, and since I'm larger than
the size of the dummy, I didn't alter the sloper at all - and STILL
wanted another hand or two to put the thing on. I remember when a friend
got one years ago, it took both of us, nearly actually on top fo the
thing to get the shell on it. But then, that's the point: the shell is
supposed to be tight like that to make the foam compress like under skin
and you are struggling with being on the small edge so you have more to
compress in. T'ain't easy, though! <G>
