How do I use this??!! The dress form is so light, it's unstable, and it's plastic so I can't put a pin into it for my life. How do you use this?

I, too, covered mine in a tight stretchy knit top and I pin into the shirt. As to the lightness of the form that is what I like about it; it moves easily anywhere in the room. I guess I just am used to it but when I put something on it I am careful not to tip it. I use the form for fit issues with clothing and I use it to hold long items I need to hem like a formal gown; I just take it to its tallest height. When I do this I do put the form in a wide container (like a flower pot) and stuff fabric around it so it is not so tippy while I feed the fabric into my machine. I really like this form. It is the best one I found at such a reasonable price.

Wish I could help you. I only used mine for curves. It seems thin enough to bend though.

I just checked my form. It is made from rather rigid plastic. So, this is what I would do: I would take a very fine-tooth saw and I would make two cuts to remove the areas that don't work, aka the bust, the boobs, etc. Then I would tape 2 disks (old CDs) behind the holes. Next I'd dress the dorm with a bra which I would stuff to the appropriate dimensions. I like tinkering. :-) And this dress form is well made. So it would be hard to find something that fits you for a better price.

Hello, I'm sorry I wish I could answer more questions regarding this Dress form however it was a present for my daughter whom is the expert with sewing clothing, she seems very content with it and says that it is good for draping and serves its purpose well but other than that I'm really not very knowledgeable on this topic...sorry..wish I could be of more help.

Well, I wear it one of two ways. 1) Horizontally section your hair and tease it along the bottom section. I put the combs along that line and take down the top section and start to blend it into the hair. Good to go! -------------------Or-------------------2)Put your hair in a donut bun, and clip the extension around the inside edge of the bun. I put a decorative hair tie over it or even a scarf (I put black lace over it for my belly dance styles for a spanish look or a flower for summer) and you're all set!

I do not know how to use them. I bought 2 other devices that were supposed to make a tight bun. I couldn't figure out any of them. Watching youtube was no help for me, but perhaps it will help you, as Katie Kuhn suggests. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. tina

Hi, Lynda,I bought this size and was able to put 10 note cards and 10 envelopes in the ClearBags. A tip: Before putting the cards into the envelope, I tie them loosely with satin ribbon, and I found little colored satin flowers in the material department. I put a dot of hot glue onto the back and stick it onto the knot of the bow, and it looks put together. I wish I could talk to you, because I only sell my cards to friends and would like to be able to sell them on-line. Any tips?

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)

Hi there - No, the pins will not push all the way through the body, just the fabric itself actually...the form beneath the jersey fabric is solid and won't accept pins easily.

If you're getting it for yourself only, you could. Or you get the Uniquely You form. You get the size closest and modify the cover to your size. I've had both, and that one is totally pinnable.

I bought this for the purpose of pinning cities I've been to and I've had no trouble doing so. I also purchased small pins for city pinning too. Hope this helps!

Where is the "small plastic pin" one reviewer suggests that you remove when you first get this product to make it effective? I don't see any "pins"

Aloha... The measurements for Medium on the outside of the box the dressform came in are: Bust 39" - 46"; Waist 32"-40"; Hips 41"-47"; and Back Waist 15"-17". Back waist length is measured from the middle vertibrae on the back of your neck to your waist. Even if you are at the very top end of the measurements, (and you really can't stretch the adjustments quite as far as they say) it's better to get a smaller dressform and use quilt batting to pad it to your specific shape. The bust is pretty small, so today I put a bra on the form and padded it where it needed a little (actually, a LOT) more circumfrence. Since I also had to add a little pouch on the stomach area, I bought a cheap teeshirt a size smaller and put that over the dressform to cover up all my "special" adjustments. All in all, I'm pretty happy with the dressform, although by the time I finished all the form adjustments as well as my own additions, it was pretty creepy looking! But accurate. I realized that, while I wasn't paying attention, someone stole my hot body and replaced it with one from some old lady. Can't blame Dritz though. Linda

It was easy to walk in until I put my dress on over it. It was not really the right style for my dress so I didn't wear it. I did sell it afterward and had positive comments from the buyer on EBAY

If you unscrew the binding post half way there should be a hole you can insert this pin into. Then, you just tighten the post back down to hold it in place.

I gotta tell you, I don't recommend this dress form. It's incredibly hard to adjust up and down.

I am not sure but it sounds like you are holding the pressure on the crystal too long. Before I try to attach the crystals I try to experiment with a couple on a similar fabric to get the feel. One thing I really like is using the special sticky paper and make my design then I have a small mangler and heat the whole picture on which also prevents the crystal from melting. Oh by the way, if you use the sticky paper make sure you have something in between the garment or you will glue the front and back together, happened to me. Good luck.
