Uniquely You dress form Uniquely You dress form


The "Uniquely You" dress form is the only dress form we stock. It is unique for a few reasons; the most obvious being that it is soft. It is made of "high density" foam that allows you to pin into it easily, great for the sewer who uses the draping technique of pattern drafting. Being made of foam means it is ideal for use by corset makers as it can be squeezed and shaped much like the human body.

The "Uniquely You" dress form is called so for one very important reason; it can be shaped to be a replica of you. It is unlike any other dress form in that it comes with a removable cover or "dress". When you wish to adjust this dress form you simply remove the "dress" from the foam body. Put it onto yourself, have a friend mark the alterations required to fit your body and then make these alterations to the dress using the many seams available. Now put the dress back onto the foam body and zip up the back zipper. The foam is forced into the shape sewn into the "dress"; your shape as created by the alterations made to the "dress". The dress form is now "you".

The "Uniquely You" dress form is light weight, has an easy to assemble stand, is simple to adjust to more accurate fit in both circumference and torso length and most importantly is REASONABLY PRICED $256.99 CDN + $23.00* shipping.
