Our Products and services
PersonalFashion, LLC delivers precision-fit custom dress forms, professional 3D scanning, and digital avatars for clothing designers, costume makers, tailors and home sewing enthusiasts.
Custom Dress Forms
Our custom dress forms are made from 3D body models, created through body scanning or other techniques.
They will have all the measurements, curves and posture of the scanned/modeled person.
3D Scanning
Capture your body, your clients, or objects (costume pieces, art work) with professional-grade 3D scanning.
Our scans are fast, accurate, and suitable for digital avatars, custom forms, and production workflows.
Digital Avatars
Transform scans into versatile digital avatars for fashion design, virtual fitting, and garment simulation. Compatible with major design software, ready for professional workflows or personal projects.
r&D and analysis
Our R&D work focuses on studying body changes under different conditions. Using advanced 3D scanning and specialized software for distance mapping, deformation visualization, and x-ray–style rendering we can analyze and measure shifts in shape, volume, and posture.
Test ideas and check proportions.
Find what will look and feel good
on that unique beautiful body!
Why Choose Us
Because fitting challenges shouldn’t impede your creativity
Comprehensive Expertise
We handle every step, from 3D scanning and 3D modeling to fabrication of physical dress forms.
Our background in patternmaking, garment construction, engineering, and virtual fashion allows us to create digital avatars and physical dress forms that work in real life settings. We also use these products ourselves, so we understand how they need to perform.
Precision and Accuracy
We use professional scanning tools and advanced software for producing consistently high-quality results. We capture fine detail where it matters. But just as important is knowing how much detail a specific project actually requires. Each workflow is calibrated to the intended use, whether for garment fitting, production, or analysis. You get the level of precision needed for your specific application without unnecessary complexity.
Tailored for Your Needs
We work with a diverse range of clients, delivering solutions that fit each project’s unique requirements. We respect client privacy and protect all personal data. We do not outsource and we do not share any client information with third parties.
All of our products are made in-house in our LA studio
Imagine having a dress form
that has the same curves
as you (or your client)…
About our custom dress forms
Lightweight. Fully pinnable. Modular.
Size/measurements. We don’t go by sizes. There is no need to put anyone’s unique body in a box. Each form is custom made to mimic one specific person – you or your client. All the measurements and all the curves, proportions, posture are preserved. The entire geometry is represented. Which means your creation will fit just right!
Material. Our custom dress forms are made from closed-cell foam. This material is durable and light. And the best part? Pins can be inserted at any angle to any depth. This material holds them in place nicely and can support even heavy weight fabrics. No surface pinning required!
Modular. Our dress forms are modular, which means you can build them over time. You can start with a torso (or even a half!), then add an arm or two later, and/or the legs. It helps to spread the investment overtime and to test things out at your own pace.
And for Pro teams it allows to share the form easily, since the top and bottom can be used separately.
Reference lines. We have the marks on the dress form itself, which means even after replacing the cover, the lines can be placed again in the same spots.
No pinheads for reference lines! We don’t use regular pins to place reference lines. Which means they will not catch your overlocked seams nor damage your delicate fabrics.
Body changes. One of the most frequent questions that we hear is: what happens if I loose/gain weight? The answer: we can make adjustments to your form! We take a new 3D scan, map the difference and then sculpt your original dress form to match your current body. (We can do both addition and removal of the material).
With right tools fitting becomes a breeze.
About our Digital Avatars
When the digital avatar matches the person’s body, you can see how a future garment will look on that specific person. You can fine tune the fit and the style before you cut and sew any fabric. No need to make several toiles/moke-ups/muslins/samples. You can do adjustments to the patterns and see the results in real-time.
Our Avatars are compatible with most pattern-making and virtual fashion software, such as CLO3D, Gerber, TukaTech, Optitex, etc. We provide .obj or .stl files, fine-tuned for the use with your preferred software.
For best results we use a professional 3D scanner to capture the person’s geometry with required accuracy and details. However, for some applications we can also work off of measurements, photos or phone scans to create a 3D model.
Turn your ideas into perfect garments and digital assets with our expert technology.
