Uniquely You Dress Form - HELP ;-(

Feb 02, 2004 5 Replies

Hello, I am getting ready to purchase a UY dress form. I visited a good friend and she has one and I MUST have one. BUT --- I want to know if I get the LARGE can I use the size 12 & the size 13 cover?? The chart says the size 12 cover is for the medium large form. But when I saw the UY form it was foam rubber and I was thinking I could get both sizes cover and make do for my different size customers. Can I squeeze that size 12 cover over the size large dress form?? Let me know. And also I might add no other form will do. I know the others have dials to input the size of the body but I do not like those forms - have one now and do not like it much.



Please oh please post someone let me know.

I don't think you will be able to compress the foam to put a smaller cover on the larger size. Getting the right size cover on over the foam is hard enough -- it took two people for me.

BTW I didn't use the cover that came with the foam; rather, I drafted a zero-ease shoulder-princess sheath using my pattern drafting software, and sewed that up instead. Works great!

I have a form that is about two sizes too small. No problem, I used quilt batting and padded it up to size. I left the bust not stuffed enough, put my bra on the outside and stuffed the bra. Works wonderful.

In other words, you can pad up, but stuffing the foam into a too small cover is too tight.

LOL - that's what I've done with my dress form too - she's wearing my bra, stuffed with acrylic cushion stuffing. I've also padded up a nice pot belly on her, and the whole lot is covered with white tubing fabric. Not perfect, but a lot closer to my actual shape than a B-cup dress form with a too-thick waist.
