Diana Dress Form question

Sep 14, 2006 14 Replies

Hi, new to the group, not new to sewing, new to owning a dress form.



I purchased this form, it is a plus sizable form, adjusts in every imaginable direction, including the neck! but it did not come with a manual or instructions on HOW to set it or what exactly each dial does.



Is there any way I can get some information on it? I have googled but either I am not looking right or I am not understanding what I am reading. I haven't garment sewed in quite some time, but with my new toy, I am renewing my interest a bit.



Oh, and I don't know what they are worth, but I paid $10 for mine, like new only missing the "how to use it" part. And at the moment, that is the most vital part! So it was a great score I am sure, as soon as I learn how to set the sucker up for my shape.

There is a used one offered for sale here:

why not contact the seller and see if he/she will photocopy or scan the manual for you for a fee?

These folks sell the Diana Dress Form new:

Diana is made by Adjustafrom, who are local to me. Here's the address:

Adjustoform Products Ltd Unit 1-2, Mace Lane, Mace Lane Ind Est, Ashford, Kent TN24 8EP Tel: 01225 332495

I'll give them a buzz later and see if they have4 assembly etc instructions on line. Meanwhile this might help:

The forms are made in Ashford, here in Kent. I'm going to ring them and see what they can do for us. But it's only 8:20 am here, and the office won't be awake until nine. :)

OK, here's what I got for you.

Best thing to do according to the lady at Adjustoform is contact the US distributors and get the leaflet through them:

Prym Consumer USA PO Box 5028 Spartanburgh South Carolina 29304

Telephone (001) 864 5765 050

You could email: snipped-for-privacy@prym-consumer-usa.com

My very helpful lady said Pauma Deaton was a very helpful person and should be able to send what you need.

Adjustoform's own web site is here:

Thank you for your reply. That one that is for sale is identical to the one I got, but at a MUCH better price mind you ;-)

Are these things really worth the money and space to own??

I got a free one - given by a pal who outgrew it! ;)

How *can* you ask??? I have FOUR of them! And I want a teen sized one and the bloke to round off my 'family'. I take them off the stand and bag them up and store them in the loft when not in use. :)

I find them almost essential for customer sewing and very useful fr myself. No substitute for a proper fitting, but you can take a lot of the guess-work out of things. :)

I knew you could help! ;-)

Sorry to have to inform you I was in the same situation and contacted Singer UK and they wouldn't or couldn't help me.

That's because they only sell them: they are made by Adjustoform. See other post for contact details here and in the USA... :)
