FAQs

What is the height adjustment range?

The dummy can be adjusted to a maximum height of 193cm.

Does this form work for skirts?

Yes, while specifically designed for trousers, the features work perfectly for skirts and standard dressmaking.

Can I use this for heavy fabrics like wool?

The four-legged stand is stable, but avoid pinning extremely heavy fabrics directly into the structure without supporting the weight from below.

What are the specific measurement ranges?

Bust 84-104cm, Waist 65-84cm, Hips 91-112cm, and Back Length 38-42cm.

How do I use the hem marker?

Slide your fabric into the calibrated marker groove at the desired height and mark around the circumference to achieve an even line.

Troubleshooting

Dials feel stiff or difficult to turn

Ensure the tension on the opposing side is not locked; turn each dial incrementally to prevent internal binding.

Garment seems to hang unevenly

Check that all ten dials are set to the same relative tension and use the built-in hem marker to confirm the base is level.

Pins are difficult to insert into the torso

The foam-backed cover is designed for pinning, but avoid hitting the internal plastic skeleton; adjust your pin angle to slide into the foam surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Specialized off-centre column makes trouser fitting seamless
  • Easy to adjust via ten independent dials
  • Lightweight construction for easy room-to-room portability
  • Foam-backed cover allows for quick and easy pinning
  • Two-year guarantee provides long-term peace of mind

Cons

  • Sizing range is limited to Small/Medium dimensions
  • Requires careful manual dial rotation to avoid uneven tension
  • The plastic components require gentle handling over time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Assembly is straightforward and requires no complex tools; simply snap the four-legged stand into place and mount the torso onto the central column. To ensure longevity, always turn dials slowly and avoid forcing them if you feel resistance. For care, keep the nylon fabric clean by spot-treating with a damp cloth; avoid heavy saturation as the inner foam may take time to dry. When not in use, store the dummy in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the plastic dials from becoming brittle. If you find the dummy is slightly smaller than your final garment, use thin batting or a padded bodice cover to fill out the remaining volume.
