1. One that can actually be shaped like you. Many of us can never be matched with the "hard" dial type ones. 2. One that you can push pins into My recommendation is for the Uniquely You dress form. It is made of hard foam and you fit the fabric cover to your body (they include instructions for this). Then you put the cover on the form and it squishes into place to be shaped by you. The fitting of the cover can be a bit of a pain, but well worth it in the end. Teena

My mother has offered to buy me one in exchange for remaking a jacket for my sisters wedding. I am in the UK.
