FDW Manikin 60”-67”Height Adjustable Female Dress Model Display Torso Body Tripod Stand Clothing Forms (Black, 60-67 Inches)

...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!

I could not be more happy with this product! I have aSmall online boutique And my photographs were just not doing justice Products.Mannequin has made a world of difference.This was very easy to put together.No tools necessary. I move her around quite a bit especially when i'm changing her clothes And have to say that this mannequin is very sturdy. Another thing that I appreciate about this Product is that the height is adjustable. Very satisfied with this purchase!

For the price this was a good purchase. I just put it together and while yes, it’s not that sturdy but hey, I’m just going to be taking pics to sell my clothes online, so it doesn’t have to be that sturdy for my purpose. It looks great, lightweight and I would buy it again.

Shipping was a little long. Price was good. I don’t think that this is a super study piece but I am using it to showcase my grandma’s wedding dress. So I won’t be using it more than that. If looking to use constantly, I’d find something more sturdy.

First, it will literally not allow me to rate this product as one star. It is only accepting at least two stars. I’m attempting to do zero stars, hopefully it allows me to submit it.I put together this item as was surprised that there was no hardware to screw on the base of the item and the longer pole. It literally just sits in a hole, so if you move it, the base keeps falling off. I used it one day, worked fine. Today is day two. One of the three footed legs completely broke off and so it cannot stand. The screws are not screwed on in assembly. The foots just are pushed into place, and the screw top is faced up, already screwed into the foot you are holding. One leg had the screws ripped out of the foot and are now in the middle pole at the base. I’m currently trying superglue since there is no way to screw anything in place. I give this product no stars.

Works for what it was attended to do. Easy assembly.

You can't beat the price. It works excellent shooting clothes for eBay perfect for my needs and is easy to move around

This looks nice, but.... Parts do not fit together well. The wood legs are not quit right to fit the slots they slide into, causing looseness. There are several cracks in the dowel base, I'm hoping they are just knots in the wood. The pole would not slide into the wooden dowel base. We had to lubricate it and pound it in. Thankfully it didn't break the base (which seems flimsy). So it is all together and looks nice (thanks to my inhouse handyman). It just doesn't seem like it will hold up well. I am keeping it since I am only using it for photos of garments I am selling. If I am careful with it I think it will be fine. Time will tell.
