Dress form

Mannequins breathe life into store designs and store windows; each one tells a certain story once draped with clothes. A retail fact to keep in mind – clothing displayed on figures or forms will attract more attention, then clothing sold strictly on racks. Psychologically, humans in general are drawn to faces and body shapes, hence why they work well for retailers.

Add some captivating visual appeal to your retail location by displaying your garments on mannequins available at Displetech in a variety of poses and styles, in fiberglass and plastic.

What is the purpose of a dress form?

A dress form, also known as a mannequin or sewing mannequin, serves several purposes in the fashion industry and garment-making process:

Design and Pattern Making

Dress forms are essential for fashion designers to create and test new designs or patterns. Designers can drape, pin, and manipulate fabric on the dress form to visualize how the garment will look on a human body and make necessary adjustments.

Fitting and Alterations to the Dress Form

Dress forms allow designers, tailors, or seamstresses to make precise alterations and adjustments to garments. By placing a garment on the dress form, they can identify areas that need adjustments and ensure a proper fit.

Display and Presentation

Dress forms are often used in retail stores, showrooms, or trade shows to display clothing and accessories. They help customers visualize how garments will look when worn and showcase the style, fit, and drape of the clothing.

Sewing and Assembly

Dress forms provide a stable and convenient platform for sewing and assembling garments. They help maintain the garment's shape during the sewing process, making it easier to join various parts accurately.

Quality Control

Dress forms can be used as a tool for quality control in garment manufacturing. By placing the finished product on the dress form, manufacturers can check for consistency in sizing, fit, and construction.

What are the best practices for your dress forms in terms of maintenance?

Getting and maintaining your dress forms is an important decision and should not be taken lightly. Here is what you can do:

Choose the Right Size and Shape: Select a dress form that closely matches the measurements of the person you're designing for or the size range you're working within. Having a form with accurate measurements will help ensure better-fitted garments.
Adjust the Height: Adjust the dress form's height to match your working conditions, such as your table or your own height, for a more comfortable and ergonomic work environment.
Use Padding if Necessary: If your dress form's measurements are not an exact match to the desired body shape, you can use padding to adjust certain areas. This will provide a more accurate representation of the body and make it easier to create well-fitted garments.
Keep the Form Clean: Regularly clean your dress form to remove dust, dirt, or any residue from the fabric. This will help maintain the form's appearance and functionality. Use a lint roller or a damp cloth to clean the fabric exterior gently.
Store Properly: When not in use, store your dress form in a clean and dry environment, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperature changes, to preserve its shape and fabric quality.
Dress and Undress Carefully: When putting garments on or removing them from your dress form, be gentle and cautious. Avoid stretching, tearing, or snagging the fabric on any protruding parts of the form.
Use Appropriate Pins: Always use sharp, high-quality pins for draping and pinning fabrics to your dress form. Dull or damaged pins may damage the form's exterior fabric or cause inaccurate draping.
Avoid Over-Tightening Adjustments: If your dress form has adjustable parts, such as the neck or collapsible shoulders, avoid over-tightening them. Over-tightening may cause damage or affect the form's stability.
Regularly Inspect the Form: Check your dress form periodically for any signs of wear or damage, such as loose joints, torn fabric, or wobbly bases. Address any issues as soon as possible to maintain the form's functionality and appearance.
