Sewing Online Adjustable Dressmaking Dummy UK 10-16 | Vintage Floral Design

When the clips don't fully lock in so, any slight pressure and it slides back down- but if you try and turn it any further and they snap loose again. I am currently working with a size 14 model and the mannequin doesn't even go up to their measurements when it says 10-16 (either the sizing measurements are wrong or this mannequin is actually something like 6-12) I'll let you be the judge of that.

I chose this dressmaker's dummy because of the multi faceted adjustments available; 8 piece with adjustable waist length (shorter or longer, but I have not tried it yet). Large dials on front are easy to use with sizes written on. Smaller side, and back cog wheels also adjust size.Also because of the attractive fabric covering; which has a good quality look and feel, like a cotton-knit or T-shirt, but is probably polyester.The only thing which lets it down is the very flimsy cross base, four extensions of plastic which sit on the floor, but they are EXTREMELY flimsy and bend at a slight kick. When you are working on the dummy, its easy to knock it out of position and dummy wobbles as there is no weight to hold it down firmly. It is okay to work on, but i would prefer more stability. The plastic base pieces are very thin, with a thicker moulded edging of about quarter inch, which is a bad design and not at all robust enough to keep the dummy stable while working on and moving it around the work area. One advantage could be the lighter weight for manoeuvrability, as I was easily able to carry it to another room to work on, whereas a heavy metal base would not be so manoeuvrable. This is obviously reflected in the price, as dummies can be much more expensive than the £119.00 I paid, although I still think that with the thin plastic support structure, it could be cheaper, or the plastic should be of more robust specification. If you don't use a dummy very often, then it would be fine, and looks attractive to stand around.

Nothing bad to say, adjustable from child height to Steph Curry in under 3 seconds, incredibly sturdy, all frame metal, feet are a hard composite type material, with a very solid slide lock system, size dials are easy to use and unbelievably accurate, 10/10 across the board, I only gave it 4 starts for in the 'Lightweight' category because it is just the weight it should be, easy to move around and reposition, Steph Curry is 6''2'

This is a nice looking item which is easy to use. There is wobble in it as the 3 legs are very light and a bit fragile. All the sizing turn knobs are easy enough to turn with very arthritic hands.

Very easy to assemble
