Product description
An anatomical dress form that shows the garment as on a real body
Most dress forms end at the waistline or the edge of the pelvis, so a garment that ends lower looks cut off on them. In this form the body continues to mid-thigh: bust, waist, belly, pelvis and hips are sculpted in an anatomical, continuous way. A bodysuit, a one-piece swimsuit, shorts or a fitted dress fall on it the way they fall on a woman, with folds and stretch in the right places.
The measurements create an hourglass silhouette: bust circumference 97 cm, waist circumference 60 cm, hip circumference 107 cm and shoulder width 43 cm. The 47 cm difference between waist and hips highlights waisted cuts, belts and clingy fabrics.
The body is in a uniform, soft skin tone that doesn't compete with the colors of the garment. It is mounted on a gold-plated metal pole with a locking knob for height adjustment and on a round, stable base of the same metal. At the top of the neck there is a decorative gold-plated cap that closes off the top line and gives the form the look of a finished display piece. The form comes apart and goes together easily, so it is convenient to move between the shop window, the stockroom and the photo set.

Professional tips
Matching the garment to the form's cut
According to common European size charts, a bust circumference of 97 cm roughly suits size 40-42, but a waist circumference of 60 cm is much narrower than the standard waist of those sizes. That is, the form emphasizes a shape and does not reproduce a standard size. For stretch garments and swimwear this is an advantage. For a non-stretch dress, check that the garment closes at the bust and hips and take up the excess waist at the back with a clip or a safety pin for garments.
Adjusting height to the line of sight
In a shop window, place the form's bust line roughly at a passer-by's eye level. For product photography, prefer a height where the camera is level with the belly, to avoid distorting the proportions.
Dress from the bottom, not over the shoulders
A bodysuit and a one-piece swimsuit go on easily when you release the body from the pole and dress it from the hips upward. That way the fabric doesn't stretch over the shoulders and the form doesn't wobble.
Maintenance
Wipe the body with a soft damp cloth, with no abrasive materials, and wipe the gold-plated pole and base with a dry cloth. A dark garment with unstable dye (new jeans, hand-dyed fabric) may leave a mark on the skin tone in a long display, so it is worth changing it every few days.
Common mistakes
Choosing a form only by bust circumference: In an anatomical form the ratio between waist and hips is just as important. Measure the garments you display against all three circumferences
Treating it as a fitting form for a standard size: This is a form for display and for checking the general look. For building a pattern to a specific size, an adjustable dress form or a form in a standard size is better
Hanging a heavy weight on one side of the form: A bag or heavy coat on one shoulder shifts the center of gravity. Spread the weight or place heavy accessories next to the base
Not tightening the height knob: Before dressing and moving, make sure the knob is locked all the way, so the body doesn't sink or rotate

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the anatomical dress form?
Shoulder width 43 cm, bust circumference 97 cm, waist circumference 60 cm and hip circumference 107 cm. This is an hourglass silhouette with a 47 cm difference between the waist and hips, which shows off fitted and cinched garments.
Which clothes suit displaying on the form?
For garments that cover the hip and thigh area: one-piece swimsuits, bodysuits, underwear, shorts and fitted dresses. The body continues to mid-thigh, so the bottom line of the garment is not cut off as on a regular torso form.
Can the form's height be adjusted?
Yes. The gold-colored post includes a locking handle that lets you raise and lower the body and fix it at the desired height, for a shop window, in-store display or product photography.
Is the form suitable for fitting garments to a standard size?
Not mainly. The bust circumference roughly suits size 40-42, but the waist is much narrower than the standard size. The form is intended for display, photography and checking the general look. For building a pattern to a defined size, an adjustable dress form is recommended.
How do I clean and care for the form?
Wipe the body with a damp, soft cloth without abrasives, and the gold-colored post and base with a dry cloth. It is worth avoiding prolonged display of dark garments whose color is not stable, so as not to stain the body's shade.
Does the form come apart for storage and transport?
Yes. The body, the post and the base come apart and assemble easily, so you can transport it in a car and store it without taking up much space.
Why a skin tone and not white or black?
A skin tone presents the garment as it looks on a person, so it is especially suitable for swimwear, underwear and fitted garments. White and black highlight the lines of the garment more and suit a graphic display.
Is the form suitable for product photography for an online store?
Yes. The anatomical silhouette and natural tone give the garment the shape of a body, and the adjustable post lets you set the form at camera height. It is recommended to shoot against a plain background and in soft light.
What is the difference between a dress form and a display mannequin?
A dress form is used for building patterns and fitting garments, so it is built to precise measurements. A display mannequin is intended for showing a finished garment. This form combines an anatomical silhouette with a display post, and it suits mainly display and photography.
Where should I place the mannequin in the store?
Near the entrance or in the shop window, at the eye level of passersby. It is worth leaving space around it, so the garment can be seen from several directions.
