Mannequin / Dress Sewing Form

[freshoutofluck]

Any recommendations for a dress form - needs to be adjustable, and suitable for generous proportions! A kind superstar relative has suggested it as a milestone birthday present, but there seems to be a lot of choice out there, so any advice welcome...

I've got an adjustable one that I was really chuffed with, but I seriously only use it for hemming. Even with the adjustable ones i can't get it just right with relation to my sway back and long waist. Plus I'm squidgy. However, as I am a huge fan of full skirts it definitely makes hemming easier. I've got this one, but I do like the look of the lady valet.
