I bought a very nice dress form, used it about 18 months, then lost so much weight it couldn't be adjusted for my new size. I gave it to Goodwill and they informed me that they received several every year. That really surprised me. I don't think I got the value out of it considering what it cost. I would suggest you pay a dress maker to make you a muslim pattern custom fit to your size and design and just use that for your sewing. It would be cheaper and easier to use.
