My Double Deluxe Dress Form - Medium Review

My Double Deluxe Dress Form - Medium
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this dressform on sale for $129.99. It is an excellent value for that price, however, I feel as though the stand and the adjustment controls should both be sturdier to completely justify the full retail price which is why I gave it four rather than five stars. I'm using a base from a discarded office chair for my dressform which works perfectly to solve the light weight base issue. The flimsy adjustment controls would not be any sort of problem for a home user but I would have some concern about how they would hold up for someone who sews for others and would need to make frequent adjustments.
I did find the bust on the dressform to be two inches too low but I was easily able to correct this by putting one of my bras on the form and stuffing it with batting. This solution could be a bit problematic for someone who wears an A or B sized cup. It is my understanding that the Dritz Twinfit has a higher bustline if that is an issue.
By using the dressform's adjustment controls and using some quilt batting I was able to get a remarkably accurate double of my body in a surprisingly short amount of time. I can't overstate how much faster and easier the dressform has made fitting. My only regret is that I didn't buy one years ago.
Debbie Cook has written a comprehensive review of this dressform on Pattern Review which includes valuable how to-information. Don't miss the link in the review to many more excellent tips by Kathryn for getting a close body double. To see the review Google Pattern Review.

I was searching amazon for sewing supplies and came across this kit along with the SFSE book. This is so great that this kit is offered. It has everything I need to sew projects for years to come. The Gingher scissors cut through fabric like butter. If your starting to learn to sew and need notions and supplies, this is by far the easiest way to go. And you don't pay shipping on a bunch of individual items.

My machine is low shank and I used the red attachment. I found two problems with the basic white attachment holder: 1. It did not "set down" close enough after lowering the presser foot bar, 2. While sewing the zipper, it slid freely along the little bar thus sliding under and breaking the needle.

Janome Universal Ultimate Ruffler Accessory By The Each Review

Janome Universal Ultimate Ruffler Accessory By The Each
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am currently a junior in my years as a fashion design student, and I have to say that this is one of the best investments that I have purchased for my career for awhile. If you are in to children's wear or cute dresses that have a lot of ruffling, than you cannot believe what a life saver this transformer-esque looking foot is! If you've ruffled by hand, gathering string by string than you know the agony and patience it takes to get the final product to look just right. Since ruffles are part of my design aesthetic, I was doing 3 to 4 yard ruffles and they were taking me AT LEAST 4 hours each by hand. Now... 5 minutes tops with the ruffler!!!!! I couldn't believe how professional and beautiful and fast this little guy works---like a dream.
Once you get the hang of all the settings for how wide a ruffle and how many ruffles per stitch, this is going to be your new favorite toy! I honestly still want to ruffle every piece of fabric I own!

This is The Ultimate Ruffler. Rufflers have been around for a very long time and have changed very little over the years; they have however remained very popular. Although at first sight a ruffler may appear bulky and complicated its innovative design actually makes it very easy to use. This design allows fabric to be ruffled or pleated to the desired fullness quickly and easily and also has the capability to vary the sizes of ruffles. Fits ALL Janome sewing machines!

Average Reviews:

This is a really nifty idea, and it works really well for making pleats, but I can not get it to gather. Everytime I put it on the setting for Gather it makes a big knot in one spot, and that's it. The instructions are very small, and not clear in my opinion. There is really no where that I have found for instructions online either. So unless you already know how to use this, or have someone who can show you I think you may end up very frustrated (like me).

Singer DF151_G Adjustable Dress Form, Gray, Medium Review

Singer DF151_G Adjustable Dress Form, Gray, Medium
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I decided to order this dressform, so that I would no longer have to struggle with measurements and guesswork. Right now, I do not use patterns, and I envisioned draping fabric on the dress form, pinning and sizing everything up, like magic.
Well, I am still trying to figure all of this out. This dress form is handy, though I am not as pleased with it as I hoped I would be. It is very easy to put together, though I would be happier if it was heavier, sturdier-not so easy to tip or rock. I like that it spins on the stand. I thought the dials would be easier to use-they seem to want to pop back, spring-action, when the dials are turned up/out too high. Alas, I do not find that this model "models" my proportions exactly-you cannot expand butt, without also expanding the hips. I think the upper portion of the dressform will be more useful for fitting. Guess I will have to work with it, it has some limitations, but it also has some advantages that I have yet to explore.

An ideal sewing companion, this fully adjustable dress form allows for pattern adjustments before cutting, better fittings and alterations, and an opportunity to creatively work with fabrics and see how they will drape and hang on the body. Twelve dials make it easy to change the dimensions of the body, including settings at the neck for smooth collars and necklines. The height also adjusts, and a hem gauge comes included to mark the hemline for skirts and dresses. In addition, the unit's fabric cover makes it possible to pin items onto the form. Its size range measures 39 to 45 inches at the bust, 30 to 36-1/2 inches at the waist, and 40 to 46 inches at the hip. The form requires basic assembly, but no tools are required. An instruction book comes included. Overall, the dress form measures 14 by 9-1/4 by 60 inches.

Average Reviews:

I like my Singer DF150 Adjustable Dress Form. The felt cover will be great for draping, since fabrics really cling to it and I am very impressed with the hem guide. It is somewhat difficult to adjust the height, but not impossible, and much easier if you take the body off the stand first. I bought this small dressform based on my three primary measurements (33-25-38), but I was disappointed to discover that her underbust at smallest is 28 1/2 inches, about 1 1/2 inches larger than mine, so dresses I've made to fit me will not zip up on her. Also, her shoulders are 15" wide, and neck 13 1/2" around, at the least. So much for using this form for fitting my truly small upper body. At least I can use her for hems, when I make dresses for some of my friends, and I can even adjust her to her larger settings to fit my fiancé's measurements (He wears a 40R jacket).
