FDW Mannequin Torso Manikin Dress Form Female Dress Model Torso Display Mannequin Body 60-67 Inch Height Adjustable Tripod Stand

Very bad quality

It is extremely light weight and not the sturdiest, but none of them are. The top screws in, so no worries about it falling off. This one is made of plastic parts , not wood and the styrofoam torso does seem more fragile if it should fall hard. Overall for the price it is good !

It was surprisingly very easy to put together. I’m usually really awful with assembly of things, so that was important to me. It stands tall, and is sturdy too. I’m going to be using it for sewing projects, so the body being made of foam is perfect for the push pins. Thank you!

For the price point, this thing is great! It’s fairly lightweight but seems sturdy. It looks great aesthetically too! I’m probably going to add some padding to make it closer to my measurements since I’m using it for cosplay. It was easy to put together and seems like it’s pretty easy to adjust. When I’m not using it for sewing, I honestly might dress her up for the holidays and use her for a display!

I didn’t expect much when I bought this...I was really just looking for something kind of cheap to use until I could a “nicer” one, but, I’m just sticking to this one! I just fell in love with it. I wanted to start photographing some of the stuff I’ve made so I can put pictures with the patterns I create when I write them down. I needed something quick because what I had made was a gift. I was short on time and money so I grabbed this one thinking it’ll do until I can afford a nicer one, but I just love this one! It’s so pretty, and it’s well made, nice and sturdy and super-light weight. It was also really easy to put together, it took less than 5 minutes. I also did t realize the height was adjustable when I bought it, so that was a nice surprise.

...and, I, after her. Let me start by getting these facts out of the way: • It arrived in perfect condition days earlier than expected • All parts were received in pristine condition, packaged carefully • Assembly was A Breeze...taking under 3 minutes. The mostly wooden frame has solid components that look and feel like professional price points. • This Mannequin is So Sturdy, I simply lift it by the waist move it around...which does not disengage the stand, nor, cause it to wobble afterwards, or, while using it. •All in all: you can't beat the price/value for having what amounts to a Very Proper Mannequin that's suitable for both sewing AND display. The BONUS here is that the styrofoam form definitely allows for it to be decorated/adorned...should that be your purpose. Now, back to my mom's old mannequin from the '50s. Although her stand was metal, by the time I got it its surface had pitted and rusted badly; it also wobbled. The wooden frame on this one is so eye-pleasing, wherever you put it looks more like a work of art than a utilitarian object. While that might sound a bit over the top, trust me on this...get it in black and it promises to be 'statuesque' Anywhere. As for my moms, its torso was a hollow frame that looked and felt like compressed cardboard...which 'wrinkled' a bit, forming creases/indents through time. Though it was still manageable, no way did it ever leave the sewing room to be displayed elsewhere. During prolonged humid weather, it would 'soften' enough to feel pliable. I've only added that because some of the mannequins I've seen for sale appear to have torsos of similar construction...which might be good points to take into account for the long-term when choosing to purchase a mannequin. As for its size, well, although it's not one of those uber-expensive adjustable ones...here's a few tricks for those using it as dress forms that might be useful: • Pad it...to make it more similar to the body shape you're working on • Placing a small, somewhat tight-fitting stretchy sleeveless shirt over it will allow you to 'tweek' the areas that need adjusting as you 'fill in' waist/hips/bust/shoulders under it. To expand upon that, old shoulder pads and bra paddings will quickly 'widen' some areas, while thicker items like sweaters 'dressed' under a tight sleeveless shirt will help transform this basic mannequin into a seamstress' dream. Personally, I've dressed mine in similar layers...then bound them with 6" x 15' medical bandages to 'reform' it to a suitable size, before placing an old black spandex-blend tank top over it... which now mimics the mannequin's original covering. Let me finish by reiterating all that in a nutshell: for decades to come, I'm pretty certain you won't be disappointed having purchased this mannequin! Enjoy!
