FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Dress forms suitable for making trousers feature an additional column inside the body. By having the pole off-centre, you can prevent the pole from being where the crotch should be and hang trousers in their natural position. This can be by unsecuring and lifting the model off the pole, checking underneath and sliding the pole into the off-set column (the one not in the middle).
We always recommend picking the smaller dress form. While you can go along and pad a dress form bigger and more reflective of your individual body shape, you can’t pad a dress form smaller!

Great service from Hobkirk! Ordered on Sunday, despatch email at 09:30 on Monday morning and delivery by DPD on Tuesday. (DPD is a definite plus in my area as they are by far and away the most reliable delivery company).

Olivia is worth the premium price to have the extra adjustments and the trouser offset. I'm very pleased with the quality and ease of adjustment. On the price, I have to say that Hobkirk had the best price that I could find online and it was £45 cheaper than a certain massive online retailer! So added bonus of saving money and supporting a small business! I'd be more than happy to order from Hobkirk again; it has been a pleasure doing business with them.

Fabulous service over the phone, very knowledgable staff & arrived within 2 days of ordering. Nice bit of kit that was put together with ease & adjusted to size. Fabric nice to touch (not like previous one returned as too synthetic). Only down side is colour - brown! Not the end of the world so will buy or make a cover. THANKYOU - Hobkirk’s team it makes a huge difference buying something whilst talking to friendly positive staff!

Ordered yesterday after helpful advice from one of your staff, and delivered this afternoon. Thank you Hobkirk - excellent service! Now tweaked and customised, and trialled with a couple of well fitting garments. I plan to get someone to take more detailed measurements and do a little padding Very pleased so far. Only issue is that no advice in booklet on how to use the leg form, no doubt will find on U tube... Very helpful yo be able to look at the booklet on this website before purchase.
