What is the best Adjustable Dress Form to use for clothes-making?
I want to get into making dresses but I think the dress forms that they sell at Joann's are really cheesy and cheap. Can anyone direct me towards an adjustable dress form used by industry professionals?
try www.sewtrue.com
I have a Joann's dress form, the singer adjustable red one, (was about $150) and really for the price it's not so bad. I've heard a lot of people complain that they break easily, but not if you follow the instructions! There is a definite order in which you should turn the adjuster knobs. If you follow the order, it will not break. I've had mine for 5 years now. Hope this helps.
