  The directions leave some to be desired. I found I had to measure the bust, because the dials were not accurate. Or maybe the directions just didn't explain the settings well enough. I despise picture explanations. Words work much better. After all, you want my feedback in words, right?

  I am very happy with my purchase. The dress form was exactly what I expected. I did have some difficulty tracking my order because I was given a tracking number for UPS shipping but my order actually came by FedEx. The dress form took less than five days to get to me, was easily assembled and I had my first project finished within the next five days! Two more projects and I will consider my dress form paid for!

  I am working with the dress form now and hope that the dialed in dimensions I adjusted to are correct. I did have to add a stuffed bra in order to get the bust measurement close. I expected that since my measurements were less than the Small form and close or over on the Medium form. My concern is actually around the height I can extend it to. I am 5'8" tall and the dress form seems only to adjust to about 5' 6". If I cannot find or create an extension rod I will have to put the form on a box for those times I need to make a full length skirt or pants. The other concern is the back waist length. My length from nape to waist is 17" and I can not stretch the form any longer than 16". I pretty much knew that going in and will have to keep that in mind when I adjust my patterns. Overall I am satisfied with the form and have had a much easier time fitting my patterns without the aid of my long suffering husband.

  I've never worked with a dress form before, but now won't be without it. It's perfect for my home use and fits my budget nicely. Takes a little time to get it set but once set, stays in place great.

  Awesome. I love it. I wish the base was heavier - that's the only issue. Working out fine! As for your service, it was excellent - the item arrived fast in excellent condition. Thank you.

  In general the form itself seems to be working well. However, the pole will not seem to allow me to position the form high enough from the floor to measure the hem of a floor length dress. This is disappointing.

  This is very easy to use and has sped up my sewing/creating process so much! I love it and will use it for years to come.

  Shipped & received much faster than expected. I love the dress form but the "feet" or stand is cheesey and a little trickey to put firmly on the floor.

  I wanted to be able to use this dress form for constructing my own clothing as well as for sewing for others. However, I am 5'10" tall with a long waist torso and the form does not adjust enough to accomodate my nape to waist measurement. Ordering up to a medium or large would get closer to the length I need but would not allow me to adjust the form down to my measurments or those of most of customers. I am sure the form would work well enough for average height/proportion size clothing.

  I give it 4 1/2 stars. Great price with super fast shipping! And it works wonders :D Personally, no complaints here! There was only one flaw I could see. There was some tape residue and chalk markings on the inside of the dress form. That was strange. Fortunately, it doesn't hinder with the immediate use of the form at all! Thanks ^_^

  I purchased this dress form to use for sewing my daughter's competition skate dresses and practice skate dresses. I'm very happy with my purchase. Not only can I make any necessary adjustments without having to have my daughter try on the dress, I can also use the dress form to lay out the design for the Swarovski crystals that are applied later. It's a great investment and one I would have made much sooner had I known what a handy tool this is for any seamstress.

  I am loving it. Very easy to put together and adjust to the right fit. Can't say too much more, just got it and haven't put it to multiple uses yet.

  I love my dressform and would have given in 5 stars except that I really needed more directions for dialing my form into the proper measurements. The one sheet pointed out the dials (which really are self evident) but I am a beginner sewer, new to dress forms and sort of needed to know whether there was an order for dialing up. The paper indicated I could go on line for further assistance but really couldn't find anything on line. The little pamphlet is great in terms of using the dress form - although the print is really really tiny!
But the form is great. It really is helping me get a better fit for my garments.

  I just got it, have not had a chance to really use it. for the price I was expecting a little better quality. The directions that came with it should be better too.

  I simply love my new dressform. It makes designing so much easier. I couldn't believe how fast I received my product. Customer service was great as well.

  It isn't the absolute sturdiest in terms of its feet but it's pretty darn good and fits my needs exactly. It is easy to change measurements on it and seems very true to the gauges of which there are many. I think it is a very good product for the money!

  I am super happy with my new dressform! Sewvacdirect.com was awesome to work with and the best price I could find online or off for that matter. Buying online was very simple and the dressform was here in 2 days!! I will definitely use them for future business. This dressform is sturdy and a great help when sizing garments. Little adjustments are so much easier with the dressform. Great purchase!!

  The product reviews were accurate and helpful. The service from Sew-Vac was speedy. I've already rescued an ill-fitting garment!

  Bought it for my daughter as a birthday gift and she loves it. It is most definately a good price. I saw it in a store and the price was much higher. Thinking about getting one for myself.
Love it! (5/5) Feb 17, 2011 Linda
  This dressform was pretty easy to assemble, and very sturdy, compared to another I had. It is also very easy to adjust and readjust.

I also like that the feet are metal with "rubber" tips. My old one had plastic legs and feet, and the color stained my carpet.

I haven't used the pants fitting feature, but it appears that the body will have to be removed to get pants on and off. I think this will not be hard, though, since the body lifts right off the support pole and is not heavy.

Sew Vac shipped very fast, and I was very satisfied with their quick and efficient service.

  On the positive side,I really like my new dress form. When adjusted to my size it works really well.I am two different sizes top and bottom so it does the trick well. I am so happy that I do not have to keep taking my clothes off every second for a fitting. I love it for draping.
On the negative side, I wish there was some way to make it more sturdy though. Handling is sometimes tricky. I know that is hard to get the perfect package though.
