YEAH!!!
I have had dress forms in the past and none were as easy to use as this one. My only complaint was a bit of confusion in the instructions for setting front, back and sides to equal the total...I still haven't quite figured it out, but the standard dial adjustments seem to work okay for me.

Great product for the price
I have trouble using patterns because the sizing is always weird. I thought about making my own dressform but was very excited to find the adjustable variety. The measurements are accurate, though you may need to add to the breasts if you are so endowed. I found putting my bra on the form worked well to make this measurement work. It is easy to pin fabric directly to the form, and while you're adjusting it, the fabric clings nicely to the grey cover.

The reason it doesn't get five stars is that it is a bit difficult to tighten the height adjustment knobs, and you need to stand back-to-back with the form and have someone make sure the height is accurate. Also, the hemline bar clip had a tab on it that looked like excess plastic and kept it from locking. Removing this excess plastic allowed the clip to lock, but it is loose enough that slight pressure makes it slide.

One warning that might be obvious but was not to me: do NOT adjust the height with the actual form on the stand. You need two hands to tighten the knobs, and if the bar slips down, the hard plastic bar inside the form will cut you. I speak from experience.

sewing mannequin fits the bill
This product was easy to assemble and easy to use. What a help when sewing for my teens, to set the mannequin up and do fittings without having the kids here. Great addition to my sewing room.
