A literal swap: large size dressmaker's dummy!

Doozer · 09-19-2008, 08:14 PM

Hey y'all, I find myself in need of a smaller dressmaker's dummy, thanks to Weight Watcher's. The hip is fine but the waist and bust aren't anymore. She's fully adjustable:
Neck: 13 to 18 inches
Bust: 39 to 45 inches
Waist: 30 to 36 inches
Hip: 40 to 46 inches
Torso length: can be lengthened 4 inches
Height: from 4 feet to 5'6", maybe a tad more. I've replaced the original tripod legs (broken when I got it) with an artificial Christmas tree stand that can be filled with sand or water for stability (which I haven't done as it isn't needed). It affects the height measurement on the post of the dummy so you need to estimate.

I also have the hem gauge that will be included.

There is a small hole that I've repaired and all the adjustment knobs are working.

This is a straight trade only, shipping included, for a dummy of the next smaller size. Wish me luck!

If you can't find one to swap, I'd love to buy this from you, I think.... I need one of these!

Sure thing!

So, is it heavy as lead? I've been looking for one locally, but can't seem to find one. My mom had one that just hung around, but she got rid of it awhile back, before I got the jones for a dressform.

It's not terribly heavy, just bulky. I'll weigh it in the morning after I take the costume off of it. Sound good?

Doozer · 09-20-2008, 01:45 PM

Bump! Weighs about ten pounds, I think.

Okay, so there really isn't any interest in any trades, but I have had some interested buyers, so here goes. I've looked at eBay and these things go from $50 to $120, even used, on average so I'll ask $50 for it. I've weighed it and it's ten pounds---I'll need to purchase a big box and packing materials so an extra seven to ten bucks on top of the price and shipping costs would be great. I'll take it to the post office before any money transers take place to double check on shipping. How's that?

I'll take it if it is still available.

Hey Souzan, thanks! I will find a box, packing, and go weight it at the post office today. I'll let you know the final shipping costs, okay? Thanks Gothique...I can't believe it's working!
