This is an original Dritz "My Double" adjustable metal dress form from the 1950s or early 1960s. It is made of flexible metal, with snaps up the front and back, allowing it to split into two parts.

To make it your exact double, you put on a tank or fitted T-shirt or workout clothes, then slide each side on. With the help of a (good) friend and perhaps an adult beverage, you manipulate the wire to conform it to your exact shape. It's actually a lot of fun, and unless you change size or shape dramatically, you'll only have to do this process once. When you're satisfied that it's conformed to your shape, you take it off, snap it back together front and back, then place it on its metal stand (which you can adjust to your height). Then, you place the stabilizing bars criss-cross on the interior to keep its (your) shape. It's not difficult, just takes a little time (and a lot of laughter, and a friend you don't mind pressing on your body). 

(Q: Why am I selling it? A: Because I've figured out that sewing is not my favorite hobby, and life's too short to do not-favorite hobbies.)

This dress form is in excellent condition, with all necessary parts. I got rid of the original box and creepy cheesecloth cover, because both were kind of disgusting. I am providing a brand new, never used, modern cover. 

As for the original instructions, I have them here, somewhere and you have my word that when I eventually find the safe place where I stashed them, I will send them to you (free of charge, of course). In the meantime, you don't actually need them, because full instructions for this exact dress form are readily available free online from several different bloggers, and even better, there are helpful YouTube how-to videos to guide you through the process of making it "your double," if my brief explanation proves insufficient. It's really not complicated at all.

Keep in mind that the photos show the dress form molded to my shape. I will disassemble it to ship. I'm listing this as unisex, because anyone could use it, so why limit it to "women"?

--> As for size, online information says it will accommodate a 30"-40" bust. I would suggest that this dress form will work for those who wear (modern) sizes extra-small, small, or medium. For reference, I measure b35.5", w26.5", h36" and there was plenty of give in the structure to go a smaller or larger. 

Free shipping is via the cheapest tracked method and will be fully insured. You can also pick it up or, if you prefer, I will deliver it myself, locally, for a $20 additional charge. Get in touch for that option.
