Handy 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. 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. Follow with adjusting waist size (AW) and hip measurement (AH). Program sizes on the back panels from top to bottom and then two sides from top to bottom. How to adjust waist length To length, the torso/waist, notice a white plastic toothed collar covering the gray center pole located under the inside skirt of the form. Turn the white-collar slightly to the left to disengage retainer teeth, pull down until the desired length is obtained, twist the collar to the right to re-engage the teeth. To return to the original height, simply reverse the preceding stage. Personalizing Figures: To personalize 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+Back 94cm)/4 dials=360/4=90cm. Hip measurements may also be customized by adjusting hip dials (AH) Neck Adjustment: Make neck size adjustments after having adjusted 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 center collar retaining clip. Slide the collar up or down until the top of the collar lines up with the required height. Engage the center collar retaining clip. For full or flared hemlines, place the dress on the dress form inside out or turn the hem up to face.
