I would love to hear opinions on dress forms. I need one for home use- one that is not expensive. I have read some unfavorable reviews of both Dritz and singer Singer adjustable models. At this point it seems that I am most interested in the Uniquely You – what do you, who really know, suggest.
Thanks very much for your thoughts.

Well...my 2 cents...I've read many articles and shopped the internet, reading about all of the many dress forms that are on the market. I think I'd agree that the Uniquely You is my first choice. 1. it's a good value for the price 2. It more closely resembles your shape, compared to the adjustable ones 3. It fits in well with my planned home usage: I'm just fitting clothes for myself in a sewing room that is really cramped for space.
I'll be curious to hear about what you decide...
Good luck,
Eileen
Thanks Eileen!
I really am leaning towards the Uniquely You. The fabulous Fit sounds great as well - as far as a realistic kind of form - but price wise uniquely You is winning in my mind.
Will keep you posted ... shoud place an order (make a decision ) in the next few days
Happy Next Year !
