Is this dress form sturdy? I am looking for a dress form to display clothing for selling online--would it work well for this purpose?

Nicole, I usually only use a sweater or jacket on "her" because I'm selling scarves and shawls. But she never falls over. I think she could handle more clothing! I hope this helps a bit. She is very light, but not tippy.

Hello. I put a two tier birthday cake on it (wish I could show you the pic) without a problem. It is pretty sturdy but it is also a bit small. Not sure I would trust a 3 tier wedding cake on it especially when it comes time to cutting it. It is a beautiful stand though.

Yes, you could easily use it to display your wedding dress! Just be sure the height and measurements are right for what you need. Should work great!

Hi Alaina, this dress form is for a size 0. I would not recommend for draping fabric. The body form is okay but the bottom stand is very weak and will break if you put too much pressure on it. Mine broke the first day I used it. I would recommend this form for displaying clothes only. I hope this helps.

The shelves are material, so the top caves in a bit when placing heavy items. I have about 30 light dresses hanging up. It is nicer than i thouht it would be when purchesing it.

mine did not do so well over a short time. The right side has completely collapsed and at this time I have it leaning against the back wall to hold it up. There was no weight placed on the bottom of the closet and it needs to be thrown out but I have to find a more substancial unit to replace it before I can get rid of it. Mine has no coats or sweaters, just dresses. Also, the plastic on just the front has ripped. Not suggested for consistent use. I do not wear the dresses often so I do not use it on a daily or weekly basis.

This item is pretty sturdy. My daughter dances and I use it to hang her costumes on it .This is not flimsy what so ever so I believe you will be fine . I would like to say 10-15 items on the rack will be ok and maybe more depending on how heavy the costumes are. .

Looks like you are considering a "fabulous fit" (company name) form. They are quite good and also quite expensive. When shopping for a commercial form make sure it has collapsible shoulders so you can get the garment on and off the form. (If you don't know what "collapsible shoulders" means, just look it up when researching on the net and you'll figure it out. You an also make your own form (Threads magazine has published several articles on how) or your can buy a form which is based on a casting of your body (google "my twin" for sources)

Yes I love this table, I actually use it to hold three sewing machines. I find it to be very stable and it is heavy. I plan on using it during the holidays for guests. If it did not hold I would not be putting my machines on it.

I have a pendant necklace on mine that is a few inches shorter and it comes to the bottom of the bust piece. With some creative draping you might be able to pull it off. You could always tape part of the length behind the neck if it hangs too long. The surface is durable so it could handle strong tape even without damage. The proportions are by no means average but it's a pretty generous bust piece for accessories. I've never had any display issues and I use it for a variety of things like wigs, earrings, necklaces, scarves and hats. Very versatile.

It might be flimsy, but i think it would hold together. Except it would shake when you print a bit. I have one and it's not too bad... The cloth storage should hold fine also

Definitely....it is very sturdy. I have put a sewing machine on it & done sewing. We are very pleased with this table!

I think it would probably work well, it's not ultra thick, but did have nice stability. If you have any embossing/burning it should hold the design nicely. The price was pretty good, which is always a bonus when costuming.

This is a sturdy piece. However, I have used it usuall to prop up my feet, and, to have a place to keep my needlework, etc., when I 'm not working on things. I have had more than one occasion to sit on it, and, I'm no light-weight either....trust me. It seems to have the inner strength to tolerate all the uses to which I have put it. Good luck!

Yes you most definitely can display pants with this dress form, there are 2 holes on the bottom of the form to insert the steel pole, one is off center so you can slide one of the pants over the pole.Please check out the last picture on this listing to give you a better idea.

Its typically used for display purposes, but it does have a thin layer of foam on it so it can be used as well for draping and pinning also.I do sell a similar model that is fully pinnable and is perfect for draping as well.Check out this link:White Female Fully Pinnable Mannequin Dress Form 36"25"36" On Natural Tripod Stand (FT Pinnable Series)

Hello, I hang golf shirts and all sorts of things. The arms are sturdy but the legs I don't think are that strong, could be because it's in the corner in the laundry room and gets beaten up. So long as you balance it out it should hold them even if your costumes are a little heavy. I hope this helps. Good luck
