#DRESS FORM PROFESSIONAL#
Practice with it for a little while, and if you decide to step up your work, buy a professional dress form. If you have one and are in the beginner stage of sewing and draping, you can mark your essential lines (CF, CB, SS, SL, SP, NP). Their sizes are not well represented in real body measurements. They are usually made out of plastic and covered with some type of linen or jersey fabric. They are mostly used for retail windows, displays etc. These dress forms are lightweight, and cheap. ĭress Forms are categorized in 2-3 different groups. We will focus solely on dress forms, and if you are looking online to buy one, you should search for a Professional Dress Form. I have 3 dress forms & they have names, Beth (size 4), Ashley (size 6), and Marge (size 16), and I do have a display mannequin called Jessica 🙂 I heard some people calling dress forms ‘Dummy’, but since I think it’s degrading to my lovely dress form, I don’t call her that. They are mostly not standing straight or their bodies aren’t in a symmetrical position, so don’t try to drape or fit on them. It generally has a hard outer shell and often represents an entire body. I thought you might need this information too.ĭress forms are most often made to represent a body and are usually constructed with a hard interior and a foam or fabric exterior, which is helpful for pinning.Ī mannequin, on the other hand, is what you’ll usually come across in a retail store. I decided to do a little research & send her some information & links to buy a proper dress form. I could not find a good one to share with her. I had no idea how much trash and simply wrong content about dress-forms were out there!
The idea for this post came to me when a subscriber asked my help, and I started to look online. I’m joking of course, but hey, Madame Gres was doing it, so why not. Unless you drape on a real model and make the poor thing stand straight for hours and hours of fitting! It’s as important as a sewing machine in my book! If you are interested in dress-making & learning to drape, one of the most important equipment you need is a good dress form. It does not store any personal data.Professional dress forms!
