You finally purchased a dressform. Congratulations! Now what? You chose one from a selection
of forms that have different measurements and features. See our tutorial
How to Choose a
Dressform
for more information on the differences in dressforms. Now you must adjust the dress-
form size to match your own measurements and start to use it. In this tutorial we will explain how
the adjustment dials work and how to get the most out of your dressform.

Set up your form according to the instructions. Make sure the
assembled stand is securely placed on the floor with legs or
casters firmly in position.
SET UP YOUR DRESSFORM
1.
Insert leg.
Lock legs or wheels
into place.
To mount the dressform onto the stand, slide the inner
body pole onto the pole attached to the stand. It will rest
against the height adjuster (A). This is the wing nut
assembly located on the pole attached to the stand.
To adjust the dressform height, loosen the height adjust-
er wing nut by turning it to the left. Raise the height
adjuster and the dressform until shoulder height matches
your own shoulder height. (See the measurement chart
located in our tutorial,
How to Choose a Dressform
.)
Tighten the wing nut to keep the dressform at the proper
height.

TIP
Have a friend help you with
shoulder height adjustment.
The Swivel Control (B) is the wing nut assembly located
on the bottom of the inner body pole. It can remain loose so the form swivels as needed. Tighten to
keep the form stationary.
