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.

experience with...
