   I bought one and I do use it, but it has it's drawbacks! The chest area doesn't seem to coincide with my daughter's chest. I have been able to use it for a number of outfits but I always have to have her try things on before I finish up. I wish I had bought a more adjustable one.

   I have read that the couturiers have/had individual dress forms for each one of their higher end customers.  I believe I have also read that a dress form is used to help with turn of the cloth and how the pattern hangs, but I can't see how it could suit more than one person unless one used it for basic problems.  Sorry I don't remember more......

   I bought the Dritz superior or whatever it's called - the slightly more expensive one. It's easy to make adjustments. You have to put a bra on it and stuff it with fiberfill because it honestly doesn't have any girls to speak of.

   If this isn't a surprise gift, maybe you could make her a custom form. Here is a Threads website discussing various options:
