ADJUSTING BODY SIZES
Using the desired body measurements begin with the bust measurements: example 96cm/38". With one hand hold the body
form and with the other hand compress the upper white and lower red indicator together located on the front dial marked "AB".
Turn clockwise until the red indicator lines up with 96cm/38", release the dial. Follow with adjusting waist size (AW) and hip
measurement (AH). Programme sizes on the back panels from top to bottom and then two sides from top to bottom.
PERSONALIZING FIGURES
To personalize for larger or smaller bust cups or for narrower or wider backs adjust the four bust dials (AB) to compensate so that
their sum total divided by four equals the total bust size:
Example:
(Front 90cm + Side 88cm + Side 88cm + Back 94cm) ÷ 4 dials =
