Product Information

Full details

The Sewing Online FG268 is an essential tool for dressmakers and tailors who need a versatile, professional-grade mannequin capable of handling both dresses and trousers. Its key benefit lies in the specialized off-centre column and adjustable design, which allow garments to drape naturally and accommodate precise fitting; however, users should note that its specific sizing range may not be suitable for petite or smaller garment makers outside of the 100-119cm bust range.

Pros and Cons

  • Lightweight and portable for small studio spaces
  • Easy-to-use dial system for quick size adjustments
  • Foam-backed cover holds pins securely for draping
  • Includes a professional-grade hemline marker

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the FG268, insert the four-legged stand into the base and attach the mannequin torso, ensuring the column is securely locked at your desired height. When cleaning, use only a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe the nylon cover; avoid using harsh detergents that might degrade the fabric or the internal adjustment dials. Periodically check the tension on the dials to ensure they remain snug. Store the unit in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture accumulation in the foam-backed interior. If you need to store it long-term, consider covering it with a fabric bag to protect the exterior from dust.
