Default Any Experience with Dress Forms? Experienced at Sewing Clothes?

I would like to buy a dress form that truly does adjust to my size, or rather shape. I'm medium size, but I have a sway back and hunched shoulders so I have a really hard time sewing clothes that fit.

I made a duct tape dress form that really was my size, or rather shape, it was incredible -- till I ruined it trying to smooth the wrinkles with a hair dryer.

The fumes made me nauseated so I'm wondering if I can purchase a dress form and really adjust it to my shape, rather than making another one. I do have a magazine about sewing a fitted pad for the dress form, so I guess I'm really wondering which one would adjust the best as a starting point.
