Imagine if you could .......
Whip up
all the dresses
you've ever fallen in love with
-
in blogs, magazines, Instagram & Pinterest...
If Only .......
You already have a sewing assistant next to you - to help you with fitting - from start to finish.
Wouldn't it be good to have a body double - in your exact measurements - so that you can get the perfect fit - first time, everytime?!
If you're looking at this Dressmaker's Dummy, chances are...
- You're learning to sew, and you need one for fitting & draping.
- You sew for others, but struggled with fitting when they're not there in person.
- You're making something special for yourself, and fed up with trying on half-pinned garments all day
long!
You're not alone. Work-in-progress Dress fitting is fiddly (and full of pins) - but unavoidable. Because getting the right fit depends on it.
"I'm a complete beginner and total novice to sewing so didn't want to spend too much money but at the same time, really wanted something to help me better visualise the patterns and create items that fit.
At least for me, this dress form fits almost perfectly - literally every measurement is "spot on"...makes this very easy to use.
This is my first mannequin so I have little to compare it with - but I think the dials are simple to use, and adjusting them to the correct measurement is pretty easily.
I am happy with this affordable, entry level dress form - great starter unit for beginners such as myself."
- Jocelyn, a Happy Customer
What if getting your dress to fit perfectly was easier than you think?
Often the hard part is to come up with exactly the right tool, for the right job, at the right price. Of course, there is no doubt that in order to create beautiful garments, you need to practice.....
But the first step is having the right equipment on hand.
The Secret of Perfect Fitting is with an
Adjustable Mannequin (that acts as your body double while you work).
Simply adjust the dials to your body measurements - then pad her up to reflect your shape because no two people have the same curves :-)
Here's a little bit of insider information...
Having worked for a decade or so behind the scene in the clothing industry, I was formally trained as a Fashion Designer - and later spent 10 years teaching others the joy of sewing. I like to share insider tricks, and I believe in doing things properly.
Now, let me share a little-known secret from behind the scene...
Store-bought sewing patterns rarely fit properly, straight out of the pack.
The best way to achieve perfect fitting is to simply make a "trail" garment in calico first, put it on the dummy, then complete the fitting by pinning and making adjustments. If you didn't have time to do this, at least check your pattern by pinning it on the mannquin first.
Taking the time to do the fitting properly on your mannequin is worth your while - because it will give you a custom-fit result, also avoid wasting time and good fabric!
Think About it...
Most sewing patterns
(such as McCall's, Butterick, Simplicity & Vogue) are made with the average population in mind.
But since when are you merely average, anyway?!
How would store-bough patterns fit you any better - if you're having trouble buying stroe-bought clothes in the first place. Right?
By working with YOUR own body double - you can be 100% Confident of a Perfect Fit - simply by starting with an Adjustable Mannquin that's been set up to replicate you!
So, How Does an Adjustable Dress Form Help?
A dress form will make garment making and alterations easier, more satisfying and more rewarding than you ever thought possible.
It's the only sure way of achieving a really professional look and a bespoke fit to garments, whether you're making clothes for yourself or someone else.
When the adjustable dressmaker's dummy has been adjusted to specific measurements it becomes a replica of you (or your friend, or family member... whomever the garments are for).
And that's why tricky tasks like pattern fitting, fabric pinning, tacking, setting in of sleeves and darts, and many more tricks of the trade can be carried out on the mannequin, avoiding the irritation (not to mention the waste of time) of constantly trying the garment on, and taking it off, and back on again...
Hey, making your own clothes is supposed to be FUN, remember?

....... Diana might just be the dressmaking buddy you need!!

Sounds Exactly Like the kind of Help you Need?
Why Not Get One and Experience it Yourself...!
Why Not Get One and Experience it Yourself...!
"I got this great dressmaker's dummy and find that it works for its purpose.
Its lightweight and easy to move around. The setting make it easy to adjust to my measurements.
I also use it with a black turtle neck over it, to take pics of my garments for ebay use.
It's well worth the money and I'm not a novice at sewing, been doing it for 25 years, so I know a good deal when I see one.
Compare to some cheaper models, this one is much better made without costing much more. Being British-made, it WILL last the test of time.
I also have a great tip to share for adjusting bust lines, because I realised that her bust may not look anything like your bust (or mine)...
So here's what I did: I put my own bra on it, and then stuff it so it matches my chest size and look. Simple solutions for a perfect bust line... every time!"
- Susan, an Expert Dressmaker
Diana has some nifty tricks to help YOU...
Achieve perfect fitting first time, every time!
Check out....
- Her twelve (12) dials make it easy to change the dimensions of the body, including settings at the neck for smooth collars and necklines.
- Her 8 piece body allows for even distribution of measurements, for a realistic and flattering fit.
- The height also adjusts, and a hem gauge comes included to mark the hemline for skirts and dresses.
- Valour / foam covered makes it possible to pin your fabric and pattern in an angle, so you can always check to make sure you get a perfect fit!
- Did you know that her torso can be lengthened when a longer back measurement is required...? Just another secret for advance dressmaking!
- Her neck is also fully adjustable with an auto-set system and a BONUS useful pin cushion too!!!
- The lady has strength - made from a strong yet flexible plastic material, hollow on the inside for adjustablity, and covered in nylon foam-backed fabric.
- Standing tall and proud with a stable four legged stand - she will be there for you whenever you need her...
- Diana is available in 5 sizes (you're looking at a Size C in this listing) - covering anything from petite to va-va-voom!
- Her full shoulders are life-like and essential for a better hang to sleeves - which beats trying on half-finished garments with pinned-on sleeves (ouch)....!!
Sounds Good?

Yes, Diana comes from UK...
...just like that other Diana :-)
Unlike many other cheaper dress forms (mainly made in China), you will find these MUCH better made...
That's because the manufacturer, The Adjustoform (A. E. Arthur Group), is the largest and longest established worldwide manufacturer of adjustable mannequins for dressmaking.... talk about being a specialist!
At the factory in Ashford Kent, England, adjustable dress forms are manufactured using the care and skills of over 40 years experience to offer customers adjustable dressmaking models of the highest quality, in a wide choice of designs, to suit every need.
Remember - You do get what you pay for. Buy Well, Buy Once.
Do I Really Need a Dressmaker's Dummy...?
More to the
point:
Can you really do without one....?
If you're interested in designing and making your own fabulous outfits, a career in fashion / costume design, an income from dressmaking or alterations, or simply need to whip up a batch of bridesmaids dresses for a wedding (whether it is you own or for someone dear to you)..... you'll need a dress form.
A dressmaker's model is invaluable in garment making....
- whether you sew for yourself or others
- whether you are a beginner or a professional dressmaker
- you will become quite attached to your new sewing assistant!
Would it Work for You?
Why Not Give it a Go!
Why Not Give it a Go!
Think about what you can do with your own adjustable mannequin....
- Check the drape of fabric. Is your fabric suitable for the pattern you have selected?
- Style an outfit by draping co-ordinating fabrics together, to see how they would look for, say, a jacket
and shirt.
-
Fit a tissue pattern
straight from the pack, or one that you've drafted yourself
- Check the
placement of darts, pockets and buttonholes
.... do they look right where they are? Be sure... because once they are there, you can't really
un-do them!
- Establish the
position of collars and lapels
. This alone will make a difference in whether your garment looks professional or amateurish....
and you know
which one you want to be!
- Position lace, trims, ribbons and appliques on garments. Embellishments should NOT take over.. they need
to be just right.
- Check or plan the placement for machine embroidery designs.
Nothing worse than a badly placed motif or logo!
- Pin sleeves in position, based on your shoulder length. Tack in place, then machine stitch. Easy!
- Check the placement of shoulder pads. Old tailors do it for that tailor-made look. Now you can too.
-
Mark hems
for alteration.
Never put up with wonky hems again!
- Fit and hang wedding gowns as you sew.... and same goes for formals and bridesmaids dresses too.
- Check the ease and hang of a lining. You don't want to get caught with linings too tight or too loose!
- Pick out your completed outfit for work or play the night before, so getting ready to head out the door is totally stress-free (and you will never be late again because you won't have to decide what to wear last minute)...!
Mark hems
for alteration.
So the question is:
Can YOU Really Do Without a Dress Form??

You're looking at a Diana Size C
Her size range measures:
Size C (Dress Size 22-26)
Bust: 44'' - 50" or 111 cm - 128 cm
Waist: 37" - 44" or 93 cm - 111 cm
Hips: 46" - 53" or 117 cm - 135 cm
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Please double check your own body measurement, instead of just going by "dress
size". Because sizing differs
from brand to brand and you want to make sure the mannequin you order is the correct one!
Imagine: How much easier would it be to take care of all the bridesmaids' dresses - all different sizes - all at once...?!

"I bought this for my wife who has been sewing all her life.
We assembled it in about 5 minutes with no problem.
My wife finds setting the adjustments easy, and done so that the form was exactly her size. Now all her clothes fit her perfectly!
I'm sure the form could be heavier and more padded.
However, for the money, this dress form is a real bargain."
- Steve, a Happy Husband
So, How Do I Make Adjustments on the Mannequin ?
Before you begin to adjust the dressmaker's model to specific measurements, expand the body by loosening all the adjusters evenly, in small increments at a time.
We suggest you make the adjustments, working from the hip level upwards.
This will release any tension on the body and will make subsequent adjustments smoother.

Get to know your dress form
Your dress form will either have dials or wheels (See Figs 4 and 5).
Fig 4 shows the 'dial' system. Select the dial you wish to set, steady the model with
one hand and with the other
hand squeeze the adjuster together.
To increase the measurement, turn clockwise until the indicator points to the
required measurement on the outer
ring, and then release to lock in place.
Fig 5 shows the 'wheel' system. Adjustments are made by turning the wheels downwards to increase the size and upwards to reduce.
The neck design for your mannequin will have either a dial or a knob (See Fig 6 and 7).
In Fig 6 the neck is adjusted by pushing in the knob in the centre of the neck at the same time as turning it in a clockwise direction. A useful Pin Cushion is provided in the neck cap.
In Fig 7, slightly unscrew the Pin Cushion and turn the Top Cap in a clockwise direction until the size required registers with the marker at the front of the model. Re-tighten the Pin Cushion. If your dress model is a Junior size, adjust the neck slightly, loosen the top knob and move the sections equally to the size required. Re-tighten the knob firmly.

Hot Tip:
As you adjust - always use a tape measure to ensure the measurements are accurate.
Ok... How Do I Take My Own Measurements in the first place?
Let's face it... we ALL know that a professional looking garment which flatters your figures can also enhance the image you present to the rest of the world, and how you FEEL about yourself.
To make sure you can achieve this, an accurate set of body measurements is essential, so that you can adjust your new dress form to as close a copy of your body as possible.
Ask someone to help you in checking and recording your basic body measurements. When measuring, pull the tape snugly, but not too tightly, around the fullest part of the area being measured.
Take the measurements listed below and note them on the diagram. Include your required length for trousers/pants if your model includes a trouser/pants making option.
Before making any specific adjustments
(Fig 1), adjust the height of the model to ensure that the shoulders are exactly level with your own shoulder
height (this
is where help from a friend is particularly important).
Now, take some measurements of yourself (with a friend's help).
Remember to wear only your usual underwear when you do this....
These are the essential measurements:
- Back Waist Length Measure from the nape at the base of the neck down to the natural waistline
- Bust Measure straight across widest part of back, under arms and across fullest part of bust
- Waist Measure around natural waistline
- Hips Measure around fullest part - usually 17.7cm - 22.8cm (or 7" - 9") below waist. Make a note of the distance between waist and hips.

Hot Tip:
Always select skirt or pants pattern size according to hip measurement.
(Because any necessary waist adjustment is relatively simple)
These are measurements you will probably need:
- Neck Measure around fullest part of neck
- Skirt length Measure from floor (wearing shoes with appropriate height heel) to your required skirt length.
- Pants length This is a personal choice. Decide on Capri, ankle or boot leg style, and measure accordingly.
Other useful measurements you are likely to need in garment making:
- Sleeve Length
- Shoulder Width
- Shoulder to Elbow
- Inside Pants Leg
- Outside Pants Leg
What if I'm... umm, bigger in some areas...?
Easy, pad her up where you need to :-)
Your new dress
model has been designed to accommodate as many and varied adjustment needs as possible.
However, there will be occasions when the model has been adjusted, but additional padding is required in order to achieve the accurate measurement in a specific area.
For Example - where bust and waist have been adjusted to the correct size, but the hip area needs to be adjusted beyond the capability of the hip adjusters, or, one hip is higher than the other.
There is a simple solution to this, and with the use of padding, you can achieve the required measurement so your dressmaker's dummy has YOUR exact shape and measurements!
I'm short-waisted. Is the torso length adjustable?
Yes - the torso length IS adjustable - though it can only be lengthened.
The shortest it will go is the way it comes in - it doesn't get any shorter. I'm also short waisted and have the same issue with torso length.
The solution is simple: you can pad the hip / waist area of the mannequin slightly so that the thinnest part on her is higher (if you know what I mean).
That way the distance between the bust and waist would be reduced to fit your own measurement. This solution works for a lot of people, including myself.
Tempted to Try?

Hot Tip:
For a REALLY accurate bust line -
fit your own comfortable bra onto the mannequin
and use padding to fill out the cups.
Use measuring tape, and add padding, until correct measurement and shape is achieved.
Here's a list of other ideas to try :
- Hips and Bust - Use polyester batting, cotton wool, or foam to pad out certain areas. (See Fig 2 above). Then cover areas with a thin bias cut fabric and pin or tape in place.
- Shoulders - If one shoulder is lower than the other, layer strips of polyester batting over shoulder area to build it up.
- Waist - Use thin strips of foam, distributed evenly round the waist. Build up thickness until correct measurement is achieved.
- Filling in the Gaps - If you have made widening adjustments to the model, attach a strip of wide tape or ribbon to fill in the open areas.
- Cover - If you wish, you could make a stretch cover for your dress form to hide any padding you have added. Or, simply put a skivvy on her!

"I got back to sewing after a 7 year break (I had two kids in the meantime) and consider myself an advanced beginner.
I have never owned a dress form before, so I didn't want to spend a whole lot, not knowing how I would like dressmaking..... it turned out that I love it!
Even my husband commented how great a tool it is for checking that everything is straight and even all along the way.
I know that it can be a little wobbly, but it is also lightweight and easy to move around and store.
It is easy to adjust to your size, just take the time to keep measuring it with a tape measure to make sure it is accurate to your measurements.
I am really pleased with my purchase. The price was great and I know I am going to get a lot of use out of it."
- Tessa, a Happy Customer
What else could you do with your Adjustable Mannequin?
- A handy coat / hat stand in your hall way: convenient for keeping your favourite jacket in shape, and a unique way to greet your guest!

"I've always wanted a dress form ever since I took up sewing, but most ones were really expensive so i was very happy to find this one and it's adjustable too!
But don't go thinking that just because its cheap in price its cheap in quality, because I don't think so. It gets the job done and its easy to adjust. It's also padded so I can pin the fabric on it.
I really like how I can make dresses to fit me just perfectly and I don't have to try it on numerous times nor have my boyfriend help pin it for me!
I would recommend this to anyone interested in sewing... its really useful to have around and will save you lots of hassle."
- Sienna, a Happy Customer
When you try to do dressmaking or alteration WITHOUT a dress form to work with, you will find:
- A seemingly simple project takes forever to complete.... because you keep on putting it on (to check the fit), taking it off (to work on it). Not fun.....
- You end up unpicking a finished garment because you're just NOT happy with how it fits on you... and you have to start from scratch all over again. NOOOOO!!!!!
- Worse of all, it's very likely that you could run out of fabric, or patience, or BOTH!
So, What's a Budding Seamstress to Do?
Treat yourself to an Adjustable Dressmaker's Mannequin and Experience the Difference...!
In a few short days your parcel will arrive.... and when you open it up you'll find your new Mannequin for Dressmaking safely tucked inside.

How long will it take to receive my order?
All fully paid orders placed by 5pm Monday to Thursday will be processed overnight and ready to send by our warehouse - normally the next day or following business day.

In general, larger items tend to be delivered by couriers, while small items tend to go by Aust Post.
How is my postage calculated?Great question.
Depending on weight and dimension, some times we are able to do Flat Rate across Australia, so the postage is the same no matter where you are.
Other times we use the Built-in Calculated system provided by Aust Post, and your postage is calculated based on YOUR location.

A phone number would help too - this will avoid delays.
What if I need my order urgently?No worries, we will do our best. Just let us know.
Please give us as much notice as possible - especially for special occasions like birthdays!
In most cases, we CAN arrange an upgrade from Regular Post to Express Post for a little extra.
Please contact us first so we can update your invoice to show the correct amount.
