Doug,
We recently purchased three dorfman conservation forms.  We bought the
teenaged size figures because often the dresses that were left to us are those
women had in their younger pre-pregnancy days.  If the dress is too big for
the form we simply fill it out with batting and muslin.  The great thing about
the forms are they can be sewn too and padded out easily.  I personally have
been pleased--much better than the old department store mannequins!
