Why an adjustable dummy stand matters

The stand affects working comfort, stability and how accurately you can judge a garment’s length and fall.

Set the form to a useful height

An adjustable stand lets different employees and students position the form comfortably. For detailed bodice work, raise the working area to reduce bending. For hems and full-length garments, set the form so the garment hangs freely.

Stability supports accurate work

A stable base helps the form remain upright while you pin, drape and rotate the garment. Always place the stand on a level floor and tighten its fittings before work begins.

What comes with a Bid Dummies form?

Every Bid Dummies tailoring dummy comes with an adjustable metal stand. The included stand means customers can set up and begin using the form without buying a separate support.
