Has anyone tried to move the bustline (or maybe take the shoulders down?) on their UY dressform? I have a VERY short upper chest, and the boobs on mine are about the right *size*, but also about 2 inches lower than they should be. I've been pondering bustlift surgery on it, and whether it would be

They are the company I bought my own Uniquely You from. I liked them, price was best at the time, shipping was fast and no problems. But I'd also suggest making your own cover. Considering the work a friend and I put into fitting mine with their cover, and knowing the cover size barely fit the
