Can you unbend the arms so that they are perfectly straight. And can you pin straight through the dress form easily or do you have to angle the pins?

You can straighten the arms. It's like wire under some foam. I have been able to pin to the form easily. The actual body feels like styrofoam under the material.

You can fold the arms in and change the position. If you are referring to folding the entire set, it does fold in segments or sections. I hope that helps!

We just pulled pins out then pushed up with force. Make sure angles are straight. Then get someone strong to help you. Kind of felt like forcing, but after locked it was very sturdy as you would want it.

Yes .. true full body form. You can stick pins all the way around, even in the legs.

You have to bend it and than twist it inward. There are some great youtube videos about it. I use it off and on. You have to be consistent with it but it works well.

Hello. I got this doll for my daughter last Christmas. A beautiful doll.The doll we have only has a slit in the back for the tail to go through. The doll's right sleeve only goes to her shoulder, the left sleeve goes almost to her elbow, then opens and hangs down. The dress does not have any other slits, just a seam along each side and one below the tail. However, the dress IS a little shorter on the side with no sleeve (doll's right side). The angle of the dress goes up to mid-thigh on that side (doll's right) and down to just above the knee on the doll's left side. Hope this helps!

Yes. My wife did not want the arms, so I just left them off. They come unassembled so its a matter of choice if you put them on...John

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.

You can click the shoulders of the dress form "in" and the move them about 2-3 inches on each side where they stay. You can get bodices and dresses on and off of the form without a closure/while you're working on the closure. It's very helpful. Sometimes the shoulders are hard to click in and out but it's manageable. I would recommend getting a collapsible shoulder dress form.

If you mean to make it more like a free arm - yes. The front section, which acts like a storage drawer, detaches so you came sew 'in the round'.

You should not have to unscrew anything to swivel the arms. Out of the box, it's a little tight but after you unfold it a few times, it will loosen up.

Yes you can. They are adjustable arms. You can also take the arms completely off.

Play with the earring a little bit to make it straight. I would have to move it a few ways and it would work great.

I would say no. The top detaches VERY easily from the stand, and I imagine if you're going to display the dress, you don't want it falling over. I would not use this form for that. Hope this helps you :)

I bent mine around. I stuck the pin through the back side of the frame, bent it around the front side of the frame, strung it through the crystal and bent it back around. If you call the company they will send you an email with a diagram of who to hang the crystal.
