I'm with the group that says get a Uniquely You, or a similar squishable, shapeable dress form. The hard ones like the Dritz form, which I did buy first (actually it was a birthday gift from my hubby), will not be shaped like you unless you do some major padding up from a smaller form. Mine never could be like me, as I have a long torso, and even padded it could not get longer in the middle - which meant its minimal behind was several inches higher than my behind. My old Dritz is now in the garage waiting for a yard sale, while I am now very happy using the UY.

I've never had a dress form, and I'm wondering whether to take advantage of this sale. Does anyone here have this kind of dress form? Is it good quality, or not worth bothering with? _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
