Why this dress form earns its space in your studio
Adjustable height for real workflow flexibility
Move comfortably from bodice work to full-length dress checks without changing your setup. The adjustable height helps you match your working posture and garment length—ideal for long sessions at the table or standing drape work.
Collapsible shoulders = quicker dressing, less distortion
Tight neck openings, structured tops, and fitted dresses go on and off with far less struggle. Collapsible shoulders make garment dressing smoother while helping reduce stress on seams and necklines during repeated fittings.
Wheeled base for smooth mobility
Slide the form where you need it—cut table, mirror, machine, or photo area. The rolling base keeps your process fluid, especially in busy workrooms where you’re constantly moving between tasks.
Pinnable surface for draping + construction
A pinnable exterior is essential for true draping, marking, and on-form problem solving. Pin muslin, tape style lines, set pleats, and refine balance with confidence. [ids-la.com]
