AdjustoformAdjustoform Lady Valet 8 Part Dress Form, Ecru Textured Poly-Cotton Fabric, Extra Small

So, it gets 5 stars for being exactly what it says it is, however I'm frustrated that I'm between sizes (UK 14 and 16), and the larger size of this kind of valet is too big, but this size is not large enough at some parts (though most of it is fine). I've done what most people would do: put an old bra on it, stuffed it with cotton wadding as needed, and padded it with wadding where necessary so that it actually works as a body double for me. After all the adjustments and padding added, it looked a bit like a Frankenstein monster, but a pretty dressform cover solved that issue nicely. It is a great piece to have for dressmaking now, but it does take a little effort, as no valet is going to be a perfect fit if you have curves.

The Adjustable Lady Valet size 20-26 starts at a Uk commercial size 16 (you can see the fit on the Barbour jacket pictured for size/fit reference). This is at its smallest size at the shortest torso.It’s very sturdy.Easy to put togetherCan be pinned only on a slant.Easy to alter the sizeNot perfect replica of my body shape but love that it starts at a short torso and the height is easily adjusted.You turn the knob on the neck to alter the width of the neck.Over all I’m very pleased with my purchase.

This is the crème de la crème of adjustable dummies. It looks really good and is functional. It does what it says it does. Make sure you check the sizing before buying and get the one you need. The fabric is lovely, the wooden stand is beautiful and it is easy to adjust. Very happy.

The mannequin is fully adjustable with the bonus of lengthening the back, perfect for me. It can be pinned onto. The wooden stand has a good finish. All in all a really good product with no negatives. Yet again I'm thrilled with the prompt service and delivery from Pandoras

Perfect for my dressmaking at home. Lovely product.
