I like my dress form but am not absolutely happy with her since my body has some shape changes over the time I have difficulties to reproduce (I sew only for myself). It's much easier to sew something for hubby since I have his body at hand and can change it directly for him without the body translator of a dress form. I'm not quite sure I am making myself clear. For a free forming process I could imagine a huge sack filled with something pliable and then sewn into shape. Even if my dress form can be changed in many places it is still very unmovable and not very me.
