I did mean the wheels. I see many form brands at work and I wondered if I might see one that looks like yours. In the past it seems the wheels and base all look different between the brands. Some--ofcourse-- look the samebillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1942924780560006692.post-23045352073437269842009-03-26T13:54:00.000-07:002009-03-26T13:54:00.000-07:00Even better SCORE, it would be fantastic for drapi...Even better SCORE, it would be fantastic for draping a Dolman sleeve.<BR/><BR/>Alyson Clair is my for reals name, my parents named me after the Elvis Costello song. Everyone thinks it's Alice Synclair, or they don't believe Clair is my last name.

I looked again at Wolf forms, and discovered that some of them actually are! The ones that they sell that are shaped like this are for cocktail/strapless/bridal. Another observation that I made, actually from the picture I have above, is ... If you look at the shadow formed by the light in the armpit/ shoulder area, it looks like it implies an area where the arm would come out. How do I put this? It's almost as though it has a built in implication of an arm, so that you could potentially make a bodice that has spaghetti straps and they wouldn't fall off. The across-shoulder measurement is 17"! That's over an inch longer than even a size 10 measurement, so this theory kind of makes sense. However, when I put a shirt with sleeves on it, it just looks kind of strange. As it says, the shoulders to collapse, and the funny thing is that when you collapse them, they collapse in really far. I feel like somewhere between this collapsed point, and the tip of the fully extended shoulder, is where the real shoulder point lies. <BR/><BR/>And a side note: Alyson... I've heard your name around a lot, and I've always thought it was a really cool designer name. Something about it is sort of mysterious. I probably think that because I heard it spoken several times before I actually saw it in writing. But anyway, it is so fluid that I was never sure if it was Alice Synclair, but now obviously I know it's Alyson Clair. That always gave it a feeling of complexity to me, great name!

I can't imagine one with wide shoulders not being such.<BR/><BR/>How about a nice long zipper that allows you to unzip the item so that you can place a top on it?<BR/><BR/>Great score!!

It is cut out to taper in at the center of the legs and the base is screwed into it where the wire folds over into little tabs. The form also came with padded shoulder panels that clip on, but they're already so wide that I can't imagine using them. <BR/><BR/>Kathleen, I will check out the PGM forms.

I think that's what this is, produced by a contract form maker in China. It would explain why there's no labeling. The form contractor stencils the customer's company name on it. They're not going to make a custom stencil for a custom one-off form which is why this one was unmarked. Iow, you can have forms made for you for resale like PGM does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1942924780560006692.post-39807058514877376262009-03-25T15:28:00.000-07:002009-03-25T15:28:00.000-07:00I had a student in a class not be able to get garm...I had a student in a class not be able to get garments on their form with the same issue. I think the instructor said they theory was if it cannot fit over the bust, it will not go over the hips. But that doesn't always apply.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps the form was custom made for someone, that would explain the larger shoulder and non-matching size 8 measurements.<BR/><BR/>Good score!Alyson Clairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165924077927247799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1942924780560006692.post-5591044411415446902009-03-25T15:18:00.000-07:002009-03-25T15:18:00.000-07:00Can you remove the base and insert a hook via the...Can you remove the base and insert a hook via the neck opening or base to hang the dress form.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1942924780560006692.post-23323748421465779982009-03-25T15:13:00.000-07:002009-03-25T15:13:00.000-07:00what does the base of the form look like?what does the base of the form look like?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
