I have one and it is great. But if you are like me you need to add padding in the areas that the dummie doesn't I also have a male one adonis that is no longer made and the child one and the young teen one. I also have a plus size one that I am shortly going to be moving the padding to for me. Not all of us have the flat stomache and the perfectly rounded dariear and not all of us have them in the up position. The more you disaprove, the more fun I am having!

Thanks Aimee, I probably will need to put some padding. What do you use to accomplish this. LOL Thin foam? I'll only need to us the padding in the top part for now if I lose any more weight that's the first thing I lose in. My bust. The last thing to go is the stomach so I'll probaby need padding. Lots of it. LOL Thanks again. I'm so tired of hanging the things I made on a hanger and trying to see what they are going to look like on me. LOL susie |

I have been tempted by that dress form price on Joann's too. I wish Santa was coming again real soon. It would be great to have one. I am afraid gravity has had its way with my upper half. I wondered about adjusting the dress form to a lower position for the bust. Has anyone else had this problem with a dress form and how did you work around it? Linda Marie

Hi Linda, I have an internet friend from Rock Hill. She got my email off of another friends email thinking it was someone else and started sending me all kinds of mail. Well One thing led to another and she and I started writing back and forth. Her name is Robin Conley. Her son in law was hurt in a gas explosion they had in Rock Hill last year. I'm 52 now and my bust has fell considerable which doesn't bother me much I just have to wear a good foundation to hold them up where they belong. I don't know about adjusting the form. But when I get it I will let you know how easy it is to adjust it to my figure. The price wasn't the only thing that caught my eye. I got a coupon for free shipping on one item if I bought it within 4 days of when I recieved the coupon. I can't pass up a good deal, I guess I'll just have to cook beans all week this week. HEHEHEHEHE. susie |
