BHD BEAUTY Gray 13 Dials Adjustable Dress Form (Large) - Sewing Fit

Our review of the BHD BEAUTY Gray 13 Dials Adjustable Dress Form (Large) finds it most useful for home sewers and small studio makers who need a customizable, pinnable mannequin to fit varied measurements. The single biggest reason to buy is the set of 13 adjustment dials that let you tune bust, waist, hips and neck height to closely match specific body measurements, which speeds up draping and fitting. Assembly is straightforward and the foam-vacced nylon cover accepts pins cleanly, making it a practical tool for patterning and display.

Key Features

• Fully adjustable fit: Thirteen dials let the user refine bust, waist and hips so garments can be checked on a form that closely mirrors target measurements.
• Wide measurement range: Measurements from bust 39 1/2' to 45 1/2', waist 30 1/2' to 36 1/2', and hips 40' to 46' cover many plus and larger sizes without guessing.
• Foam-vacced cover: The nylon surface accepts pins and markings easily, which speeds up marking, draping and alteration work.
• Adjustable neck height: The neck and back height adjustment makes it simple to set shoulder height up to the specified stand limit for accurate garment hang.
• Tripod stand: The included tri-pod stand supports the torso and is quick to set up for studio or craft table use.

Who It's For

The dress form is aimed at intermediate sewers, costume makers, small boutique owners and hobbyists who need a pinnable, adjustable mannequin that can be tuned to a range of larger measurements. It is especially handy for people who draft patterns, drape fabrics or need a repeatable display shape.

Those who need a perfectly rock-solid industrial stand or a customized dress form matched to one exact body shape may want to consider a professional-grade, single-shape form. Also, users who require ultra-heavy-duty stability under significant stress should verify the base meets their needs since some customers reported variable base stability.
