New and searching for dress form
 
Hi, I'm looking for a new dress form (new or used actually, just new for
me). I was wondering if anyone knew a place to get one cheap or if anyone
was selling one. Thanks.

Frequently these turn up at yard sales, thrift shops, charity shops,
etc. If you know any other sewers near you, you may just *inherit*
one if you let them know you're looking.

Isabella,

I purchased my small one (not for me) from eBay. It was a very old one,
more difficult to adjust because of the wing nuts and slides, but I got
it relatively cheaply. It has a very heavy nice cast iron base and
stand. It is much higher quality than the large one I bought at JoAnns
or Hancocks.

Wolf form sells new forms that seem to last for years. And I think
they can even make customized forms to you. You should check out there
