The Sewing Online 8-Part Adjustable Dressmaker's Dummy is an essential tool for intermediate to advanced home sewers who require a precise, anatomically correct form for fitting garments. Its primary benefit is the eight-section body design that allows for complex adjustments to chest, waist, and hip measurements, ensuring professional-grade accuracy in tailoring. Users should note that this model is specifically designed for UK sizes 16 to 22, meaning it may not provide a suitable base for those outside this specific measurement range.

This model is designed for UK sizes 16 to 22.
While the overall height is adjustable, the neck area is fixed to provide the necessary support for shoulder construction.
Use a flexible tape measure to check your personal measurements and adjust each of the twelve dials until the dummy matches your numbers.
This dummy is designed primarily for tops, dresses, and skirts. It does not include a crotch area for trouser fitting.
The product comes with a two-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.
The cover is integrated with the foam backing and is not intended to be removed; cleaning should be done via spot cleaning only.
Ensure the dummy is not over-extended beyond its maximum dimensions and check that no internal fabric is caught in the mechanism.
Check that all four feet of the base are flush with the floor and that the main pole locking nut is tightened securely.
Ensure you are pinning into the foam-backed areas; if the foam feels compressed, try pinning at a slight angle.
To set up your dummy, insert the central pole into the four-legged base and secure the height adjustment lock at your desired level. Use the twelve dials to expand or contract the body sections until they match your target measurements. When adjusting, move in small increments around the torso to prevent over-stretching the nylon cover.
Care instructions: Keep the dummy in a dry environment to prevent moisture damage to the internal mechanism. If the nylon cover accumulates dust, wipe it down with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure that you do not force the adjustment dials beyond their natural stopping point to maintain the integrity of the internal expansion components. If storing for long periods, keep it covered to protect the fabric finish.
