Dress Forms

Dress forms are one of the most nostalgic items around.  They point to a past that was far more glamorous than the lives we lead now, where dresses were custom made for each woman, with all the enchanting details that one could imagine.  Dress forms are still great to have around today.  They serve many purposes and are so much fun to look at and use.

Dress forms still serve a practical use, the use that they were originally intended for.  If you are sewing your own dresses, tops, or skirts, then you can use them to shape and size the dress just right.  A dress form in your size in an irreplaceable tool when cutting a pattern, pinning a dress together, and creating the stitches and details you want without having to continually try the garment on for size.  Dress forms are also still valuable tailoring tools.  They allow you to work on a custom clothing item without actually have the person present, and that saves a lot of time.

If you are a sewing fanatic or a dress collector, then dress forms can be a great way to display your creations and collections.  Dress forms in beautiful outfits bring whimsy to a living room or bathroom, romance to a bedroom, and meaning to a sewing or craft room.  They are great for homes full of antiques or homes of those who are creative and talented.  Don’t let some of your most beautiful creations hang in a closet and out of sight, put them on a dress form and show them off!
