The dress form for sale collection

In our online store, the dress form for sale collection, provides you with numerous choices for the lowest prices available. Plus, we offer so many varieties because we value the intent of our customers, and we understand that everyone has specific working needs.

We would recommend that you browse through our collection before you decide to spend a small fortune on a custom option. For example, if you’re looking for a high level of adjustability, then the adjustable dress form might be a better and more affordable option.

Since human bodies change all the time, and a dress form remains the same, the adjustable dress form looks like a prudent investment. This type of mannequin allows designers to adjust critical points like the bust or hips, as necessary. Furthermore, the dress form becomes the ideal tool if weight loss and weight gain are taken into account.

Our reasoning behind buying a well-constructed professional dress form is very practical, because it would solve most of your significant fitting and pinning problems.

Shoulder forms

Once you start browsing through our collection you’ll notice that most mannequins differentiate in shoulder forms. Thus, we want to provide even further clarification on the types of shoulder elements we feature.

Collapsible shoulders – This dress form revolutionized the way dressmakers and tailors do their job. Therefore, the reason collapsible shoulders are popular with our clients is quite simple; they provide the option for adaptation. The shoulder elements are improved to fit in openings and extend according to the needed form. Moreover, that allows for natural shape and contour of the human body.

Professional dress forms with collapsible shoulders allow you to push the shoulders in about four inches on each side so that you can fit clothing pieces more easily. In fact, the dressing and undressing of the mannequins are going to be fairly easy. That makes this type of mannequin perfect for tighter-fitting garments.

Removable shoulders – This type of shoulder form is quite similar to the previous one, although there are key differences, which you will notice once you start working. Hence, with removable shoulders, you would have to take them out once you begin tailoring and sewing a garment, while with collapsible shoulders, you wouldn’t have to do that. However, if you have a bit of extra time on your hands, this is a great value deal for a dress form.

Another element that differs from dress form to dress form in our online store is the base. There are two main bases, rolling and round (static). Hence, you should pick the one that suits you best, depending on the needs and requirements of your ongoing work.

Additionally, if you’re looking for a more specific type of professional dress form with additional requirements, you should browse through these categories as well:
