• Assemble the pedestal by sliding slotted legs (C) into base (B), repeat with four legs. (see
below pictures).
• Insert Hem Gauge Arm (D) onto the pole (A).
• Insert pole (A) into base (B), ensure pole sits well in the base.
• Stand up the base assembly and let dress form (E) slide gently over the top of pole
assembly.
• To rotate form 90°, lift the dress form slightly and turn.
Tips:
• Keep the plastic bag provided to cover the dress form and help eliminate dust
• For form fitting dresses, always leave a vertical seam partly open, finish sewing the
seam after having removed the dress from the form
• To close the dress form, use the following sequence: waist height adjustment, neck dial,
bust dials, waist dials and hip dials
ASSEMBLY
Waist Length Adjustment:
To lengthen the torso/waist, turn the red collar slightly to the left to disengage retainer
teeth, pull down until the desired length is obtained, twist collar to the right to re-engage
the teeth. To return to original height, simply reverse the procedure.
Adjusting Body Sizes:
• Using the desired body measurements, begin with the bust measurements
• With one hand hold the body form and with the other hand compress the upper white
and lower red indicator together located on the front dial marked "AB"
• Turn clockwise until the red indicator lines up with bust measurement. Release dial.
• Follow with adjusting waist size (AW) and hip measurement (AH).
• Programme sizes on the back panels from top to bottom and then two sides from top
to bottom
Personalising Figures:
To personalise for larger or smaller bust cups or for narrower or wider backs, adjust the four
bust dials (AB) to compensate so that their sum total divided by four equals the total bust
size.
Example:
(Front 90cm + Side 88cm + Side 88cm + Back 94cm) / 4 dials= 360 / 4 = 90cm Hip
measurements may also be customised by adjusting hip dials (AH)
ADJUSTMENTS
Neck Adjustment
Adjust neck size after having properly adjusting body sizes. To adjust, depress and turn the
neck dial. Check collar size with a flexible tape measure.
Setting the Hemline Gauge:
With the hem gauge bar in the horizontal position, disengage the centre collar retaining
clip. Slide the collar up or down until the top of the collar lines up with the required height.
Engage the centre collar retaining clip. For full or flared hemlines, place the dress on the
dress form inside out or turn the hem up to face.
