can't afford to get the more expensive ones and my adjustable form hasrun its course. It's time to upgrade. These look like pretty good qualityalthough I don't who makes them. I ask the seller and he hasn't responded. What do you'all think? Would you get these or maybe you know where I canfind similar ones.

many thanks

Dear Mineemee,

These look like Wolf dress forms. You need to know if they're the right size, as these forms are not adjustable. The one ad on ebay says that 15 are available. All the same size? And check for shipping charges. These things are heavy and could cost quite a bundle to ship.

The nice thing about having a dress form is that you can make it your size. These are not adjustable. Yes you can make them taller or shorter. But they will always be whatever size you buy.

Look at these:

are more adjustable, and they are less expensive than the one on ebay. Atlanta Thread also carries a line very similar to the one on ebay. Andthey carry the Uniquely You forms too. I know you wore out your adjustableform, but think long and hard about how much use a non-adjustable one wouldbe before you buy.

HTH
