Dress form recommendations? by John Smith[_2_]
I am starting to search for a dress form online, and I'm having difficulty finding much information. Can anyone suggest some good quality dress forms? Also, if the person I'm sewing for is on the border between a Small and a Large form, which size should I get? Thanks for any suggestions.
