I have low slung, large breasts. Always a concern when considering a dressform. Is the bust is on the flatish side?

The breast area is not so much flat as it is not formed. The flatness issue comes more from not having the heaviness shape that is at the bottom of the breast. You have the ability to get the right measurements though. It worked out well because I was able to get the right size/measurement by adjusting the dials, and then put one of my bras on it (then filled the cups) to get the right shape. It provides a good base you can then add to if needed. I think the breast area would provide a good slope to start you off in shaping.

I'm not speaking from experience, but totally! A busty friend of mine uses wraps and she has no issues, its comfortable for feeds and everything adjusts to your shape since you really are wrapping a large piece of fabric around you.

I'm 5'4", with an average-proportioned torso, and this fit perfectly fine on my back...all the pieces were a bit big for me, but I didn't notice the back feeling too tall. I found it very easy to adjust, though, and I was just so grateful for the support in the last month of pregnancy that I'm not sure I would've really noticed if it was uncomfortable!

I think you can wear it under a loose fit shirt but not slim fitted shirt because the straps are well padded. It will even make you look good on the shoulder muscle like you worked out a lot lol. It doesn't seem to contain metal. It's all fabric except the ring in the back seems to be hard plastic. A tip for you: some people say it's hard to put on, NOT TRUE. Try turn it up side down when you wear it. It works the same. This works very well for my husband, effective yet comfortable...until one day he got lazy and left it in the corner. So if you decide on buying it to help with your posture, do yourself a favor: try to stick to it. Good luck!

I am the opposite of BrynnFlynn - not busty at all; wear size 2. I got the small/medium as well. It definitely fits loosely. The size is fine for me and the looseness makes it not too hot when the weather is warm and also can fit over bulkier clothing when it is cold.

Yes, I believe it is. The company is Janome Artistic. I have the petite dress form and it definitely comes the closest to fitting my body shape better than any of the others. I do recommend it.

I have this and it's pretty slim fitting; my breasts are very large as well and the jacket fits very tightly over the chest, I leave it unzipped if possible.

Its an OK fit. I have about same chest size. There are 3 adjustment straps on each of sides. With about 6 inches of adjustment.

If it feels comfortable (Snug but not too tight to cut into your skin) under your arms in the armpit area than I suggest keeping the medium and seeing about stitching the back to suit you better (Sewing machine would work wonders). A small could cause serious irritation in the armpits if you are already snug in a medium. Another good way to find out if you should wear a small is measuring the strap area under your bust and above too. I fit a medium snug and my measurements are (35" below bust, and 36 1/2" above bust line.) At mid twenties to very low thirties I would suggest a small.

I just got this a couple weeks ago and I am 19 mo post delivery . I have not been wearing everyday but I can see a slight difference already . I am long waisted and it doesn't stretch vertically so it tugs a little I the crotch area. Running around after twins makes it not that comfortable to wear shape wear in general . This is my favorite shape wear I own though.

These are slightly concave to the point of being almost flat. It will never be a replacement for the real breast lost due to cancer but it's close enough. The only negative I find is that they are a little heavy and the nipple protrudes a little too much to my taste. After cutting the nipple down just a little it fits great in my bra. I am wearing a 36C teardrop shape. I find this to be the more natural shape for me because of it giving a little padding under the arm. (More natural looking) Good Luck!

Definitely!! The strap is adjustable and that shouldn't affect it because the strap is placed under your breast line :)

I would say loose, but not baggy. That is only if you are ordering the appropriate size, in which case it could go either way. It's form fitting without hanging off of you or being skin tight.

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.

Hello Jo-Ann, This dress form is very nice but small! The entire form is 28" tall. The waist is 12 1/2". From waist to bottom of hem area is 11". The circumference of the bottom hem is 27". And the Bust is 18". Best of luck to you! :)

It goes up above the navel but I would agree that it doesn't go as high as pictured (stops several inches below where a bra strap would go on me). Part of the problem might be that the model is pretty skinny but a lot of people who will be using this product would be doing so in an attempt to lose weight and would not have the same build as the model.

It is has help reduce mine. I did not have puffiness either, the same problem as you. I wear it day and nite-it is not heavy at all.
