Can I pin directly into the torso?

Yes, the height can be adjusted between 55 inches and 73 inches.

What is the base made of?

Troubleshooting

Mannequin feels wobbly

Ensure the tension screw on the base of the pole is tightened securely and that the form is resting on a level surface.

Pins are difficult to insert

Ensure you are using standard dressmaker pins rather than thick upholstery pins, which may struggle with the dense polystyrene material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent pin retention for detailed tailoring
  • Adjustable height accommodates tall and short garments
  • Sturdy wooden base ensures stability
  • Lightweight yet durable build for easy relocation

Cons

  • Fixed size limits use to specific dimensions
  • Polystyrene material requires careful handling to avoid dents
  • Not intended for heavy-duty industrial pressing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To assemble, insert the base pole into the center opening of the wooden round base and tighten the securement screw. Slide the torso onto the pole and adjust to your preferred height using the locking mechanism. Compatibility is broad for light-to-medium weight fabrics; avoid forcing thick industrial hardware onto the form. To clean, use a soft, dry brush to remove dust. If the polystyrene surface becomes stained, use a damp cloth with mild soap, but ensure it is completely dry before pinning delicate fabrics to prevent moisture transfer.
