SewingMachinesPlus.com Ava Collection Small Adjustable Dress Form with New Style Base With Casters Included

Seems to be a fairly reliable dress form for the money paid. The base legs were a little difficult putting them together and would be nicer if they were a little heavier to make it more stable. I like the fact that you can add the casters or leave them off. Haven’t actually had a chance to make any adjustments to the figure - hoping it will go well.

It is adequate. It is very light weight and the form portion can easily be lifted from the base to assist when putting a dress on it that won't quite fit over the shoulders. The adjustment dials are somewhat flimsy and I felt as if I was going to break them making the adjustments; even when going slowly. And, yes, the key they give will break on you before you finish making adjustments. Fortunately, an extra is supplied. The form is pinnable, but not fully so. That is, the pins can't be stuck straight into the form but rather slid under the fabric covering; not quite as convenient, but functional. I am giving it three stars because it's nothing special. However, if you need a dress form at a low price, this fits the bill. However, it wouldn't be worth the price if it cost any more.

I loved the dress form, but the adjustable dials didn't display measurements. I use the dress form for costuming and need to be able to adjust it quickly and easily for many people, so unfortunately it didn't work for me and sadly I needed to return it.

Delivery was quick. Assembly was easy. But despite reading the directions very carefully and being a pretty handy,technical person I could not get it to open up. Neither could anyone else in my home. I finally gave up and just padded it. Also, know that while you can pin it, you have to go in at an angle because the dress form is hard plastic under the thin fabric layer. I expected this, as it's typical with this kind of dress form. Finally, the base is very lightweight, making it very easy to tip the dress form over. I added weights to make it more stable.

I love it! I needed a smaller dress form that was made of solid materials. I’m happy with my purchase.
