Singer DF150 Adjustable Dress Form, Sizes 10-16, Red Review

I like my Singer DF150 Adjustable Dress Form. The felt cover will be great for draping, since fabrics really cling to it and I am very impressed with the hem guide. It is somewhat difficult to adjust the height, but not impossible, and much easier if you take the body off the stand first. I bought this small dressform based on my three primary measurements (33-25-38), but I was disappointed to discover that her underbust at smallest is 28 1/2 inches, about 1 1/2 inches larger than mine, so dresses I've made to fit me will not zip up on her. Also, her shoulders are 15" wide, and neck 13 1/2" around, at the least. So much for using this form for fitting my truly small upper body. At least I can use her for hems, when I make dresses for some of my friends, and I can even adjust her to her larger settings to fit my fiancé's measurements (He wears a 40R jacket).

Singer's dress form may be just the sewing companion you need. This adjustable form allows for pattern adjustments, better fitting and alterations, and an opportunity to creativly work with your fabrics to see how they will drape and hang on the body. 12 dials allow for changes to the body including settings at the neck for smooth collars and necklines. Height is also adjustable and it includes a hem guage to mark the hemline for skirts and dresses. The DF150 has a red fabric cover to allow pins to be used onto the form. Fits sizes 10-16. The size range is 33" - 39" at the bust, 25" - 31.5" at the waist, and 34" - 40" at the hip.

Singer DF150_G Adjustable Dress Form, Gray, Small Review

This dress form is very convenient. The multiple dials give you a lot of control in getting the right measurements, and the fabric-covered surface lets you pin materials to the form.
However, there is one major drawback. You can't use the form to create tight-fitting tops or dresses, because the chest shape is not true to life! In real life, breast width transitions gradually from top to bottom, but at the bottom it cuts sharply in where the breast ends and the rib cage begins (under the cup). On this dress form though, the breasts thin out gradually on the underside as well, making the ribcage in that area disproportionately wide. With the waist and breast measurements set exactly to my own, it is *impossible* to even put my bra on the form!
It would be great for loose shirts and dresses, but keep in mind that the chest area is messed up.
