Product Description

Every sewer should have a dress form! What's so earthshaking about having a dress form in the sewing room? It's simple: fitting is the hardest thing about sewing, especially sewing for yourself, and having a form on which to solve your fitting problems transforms the challenge from a slow, abstract process of measuring and altering outlines on a flat piece of pattern paper into an immediate, hands-on process of playing with fabric (or paper) on a 3-D version of yourself. With a few pins, some muslin, you can explore more pattern tweaks and learn more about fitting on a dress form quickly than you could in hours of flat-pattern investigation on paper. Every sewer has a dream to have a dress form. The problem is the professional dress form in the current market is too costly for a sewer. Not every one can afford it. Great News! The affordable Yamata DressMaker dress form is finally available! It is ideally suited for every phase of tailoring and dressmaking ... fitting, designing, alterations, remodeling and draping. With DressMaker dress form, you can get more professional results. It is really a must-have aide for every sewer!

Customer Reviews

Worth the money
I am a moderate sewer. I used to sew many of my childrens' clothes now I do it just for me and not that often. I mainly use it for skirts and dresses. I plan on making night gowns and robes. The wheels worked quite well for me and I managed to get my figure fairly close. It is very easy to adjust and you can adjust it to your own height as well. All in all I find it a suitable form for me.
It is very light so moving it about is not difficult you can swivel it on the pole to be able to view all sides easily. I have always wanted my own form but didn't want to spend alot of money and this is just the right form.
It is also very easy to set up since most of it comes assembled. Shipping weight is about 8 lbs. I say this is a good buy for the casual or novice sewer.

Poor service
I ordered this sewing mannequin for my 13 year old daughter for Christmas. The description said that they had 6 available in-stock and I ordered it in plenty of time for Christmas. I called several days after when I was promised delivery. Amazon told me that the 3rd party supplier (TheBestMartOnLine) had canceled the order because they were out of stock. I received no notice from Amazon nor TheBestMartOnLine. Needless to say, it's too late to order from another supplier for Christmas. Poor, poor, service from both Amazon and TheBestMartOnLine. Won't buy from either of them again.
