Bonnlo Female Sewing Mannequin, Size 14 Dress Form for Display and Tailor Design, Height Adjustable Torso with Stable Metal Base (with arms, 14)

I did the research, you just need to add to buy this one!!! To be clear, I’m a consider myself a moderately skilled sewer. I occasionally create clothing from scratch, but mostly I alter off the rack items or use patterns. By no means am I a seamstress. I have wanted a dress form for a very long time to help aid my craft, and finally decided to buy one. I went back and forth between expandable dress forms, and the fully stuffed type such as this one. Expandable forms were out. 1. They are cheaply made. A plastic form with thin covering that pins can’t fully go into Most of the bases are plastic too! 2. Once it’s expanded, and some aren’t even sized correctly, there are huge gaps. This brand has different sizes, and I went with 6. You can buy, or DIY, padding for larger sizes. So I felt there was no need to go larger. To note, the top I show on the form is a size large. This dress form is excellently built!! There is a heavy metal base with locking castors, and heavy metal adjustable pole. The bottom of the form is solid wood, and the pole fits into it, then locks. But the dress form itself spins very easy so you can move it as you work because of the way the pole attachment is designed. The form itself is very firm, yet pins push into it easily, and the canvas covering is thick. Since I choose ‘with arms’, it also came with shoulders for when you don’t need a full arm. Both attach, and detach, easily with a very strong magnet. As you see by the photos, the arms are fully pose able and stay where they are put. Proof of how strong the magnet it. I also appreciate the lovely metal finial at the top, instead of just cut off, or some cheaper versions had a built in pin cushion. So after much research, and hem-hawing, I’m extremely pleased with the new addition to my craft studio! If you are considering purchasing a dress form, rest assured you will not be disappointed! I also received a bundle of sewing accessories, which was a nice touch!

This was a gift for my niece who has already used it to make a dress and corset from Titanic. She loves it.

It’s definitely worth the price, easy to assemble, the only thing I didn’t like about it is that there’s noting to stop the mannequin from turning while pinning fabric onto it.

Excellent!! Very well made. Easy assembly. Pins stick in it and it makes sewing so much easier.

The media could not be loaded. I absolutely love the dress form! It is of professional quality. The body is sturdy, easy to pin, and it spins easily.The stand is sturdy and the wheels roll smoothly.I went to school for fashion design a long, long time ago, and we used a top-of-the-line brand. I also have a top-of-the-line dress form in a different size. This mannequin stands up to those in shape and quality. The biggest difference is that this one does not have a collapsable shoulder, and the stand uses a method of pushing a button and then raising or lowering the height. But neither of these things make a lot of difference to the everyday use of this dress form.It is well-built and very sturdy. I really love it and am very happy with this purchase. Highly recommended for a professional clothing design experience.

I'm a professional tailor. I needed a replacement dummy in my shop. While I wish it was a smaller dress size, it's very versatile.I'm able to add remove shoulders or arms. I'm able to pin directly into the form at any spot. It has wheels so it will move easily roll wherever I need it to. The wheels do present a small problem when I lift the item up onto my large table to measure from the waist down. I don't like it when it tries to roll off the table even with the locks on. The color is beige and looks neutral in my location. The design of adjusting it is okay but could be simpler. This is not a lightweight item. It is a sturdy useful device that I am glad I purchased

Its a nice dress form only problem for me is there are no screws to bolt the mannequin to the base so i guess this dress form is just for display purposes but i still like it and will keep it , Didn’t come with instructions so i utube how to assemble the base and its simple . I purchased it for sewing and draping

Perfect Sizing. This form comes with arms. It's sturdy, durable. It did not come with any screws. I just wish the lower half was a bit long. Easy to put together, easy to use. It works great with pinning, and draping.
