My daughter (aged 10) has asked for a dress makers dummy for Christmas, she has recently started to use my sewing machine, is totally addicted to watching 'The Great British Sewing Bee' and would like to design and sew her own clothes.
Obviously something I wish to encourage.
Can anyone advise on which Dressmakers dummy to choose.
Would be nice to have an adjustable one, but searching on line, I see there are a lot of cheaper ones 'aimed at fashion students' ... I was thinking maybe size 10-12 for my daughter and the next size for me ... so we could sew together ... has anyone any experience with these ... are they any good?

If it is within budget I would go for one that is as adjustable as possible. Not only does this allow much better fitting but it will also hopefully last even as her/ your shape alters. I don't have any experience with using one for her age group though!2019 fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons0
