My Uniquely You has been a blessing. I can corset it and get it close
to my natural dimensions *in* the corset.
She also provided my spouse and I the most hilarity we'd had in a
long time. My Oh My, are those endowments *perky* when she pops out
of the box!! And I do mean pops. Lord have mercy, she does rather
blossom! I think we spent the better part of an hour just giggling.
We'd about get over it and then we'd look at her again and crack up.
The fitting bit is not for the faint of heart, but well worth the
extra effort. I now need to pad a bit around the tum <sigh>, but
still, I'm very happy to have had her for these last few years.

I believe we've discussed the merits of various dress forms on this
list before, if you want to check the archives, or google the terms
"h-cost AND 'dress form'".
My advice on what to avoid is the plastic dial up types, as they
will never get near your own body shape, even if the bust, waist,
and hips are right. Your torso may be longer or shorter, or need
less padding or more padding in certain areas. I hated mine.
I now use a Uniquely You dress form that I have taken a knife to
certain parts, and padded other parts. This is why some prefer the
type that comes with padding, or use a form that is too small and
pad up as needed, or make your own My Twin dress form in foam. It
just depends on what works for your budget and time.
And Happy Birthday! Whatever you decide, enjoy it. Mine has really
helped me fit garments so much better now.

My Darling has said he'd buy me a dress form for my birthday. Any
recommendations on which brand to buy? Which to avoid?
